#28 of 2024! Black Harbor No. 2!
Started: 9/12/24
Finished: 9/24/24
13 Days

I really fell behind on my August reading (and probably life in general). I am still working on the roll #28 (tagged) for August's #Roll100, which I am enjoying. I am also more than halfway through Fingersmith for August's #AuthorAMonth. Hoping to read a lot today and tomorrow.

I read this book for a Readathon I was participating and it was an opportunity to read an old book in my tbr. That means I was in the summer mood and found it okay. However, this is a quite typical mermaid story with a YA cheesy romance with a not so easy male protagonist. I found Galen likes to control others, what happen with these male characters? But I liked the world and plot in general. There were sad parts 2.9/3⭐️

Finished earlier in the week, this was my second #Roll100 book (#28) finished for August. Katherine Center writes rom coms that dig a little deeper. I really enjoyed the story & the use of face blindness (Prosopagnosia) & learning more about it. Many times I wanted to shake Sadie, our MC for her choices about communication & accepting help, but at the end I was rooting for her & liked watching her grow. A quick & enjoyable read. 💙

Good listen while walking when it's not raining, love audiobooks for walking

Book 2 in The Mobile Library mysteries. I'm struggling a bit because, while the stories are entertaining, they're not written in a way that you can "solve" the mystery along with the characters. Information is withheld to make a bigger reveal when they figure it out. Israel is not adapting to his new environment at all. We should be seeing his grow as a person along the way. Can someone please tell me what SPK means in this context? #28-2024

I picked this up in a whim, not knowing what to expect. He pulled from all religions to make you really consider not only your own spirituality (not religion), but your place in the world and how it relates to everyone else on the planet. The writing is very engaging and I enjoyed being inside his head for the duration of this book. Who knew “Dwight” was so insightful?! Book #28 in 2024

Different reaction as an adult but full of good nostalgic memories. I liked these covers. So good to start from book 1 to remember how everything started. As I say, it was viewed from another perspective. Now I think how a middle age child will think about Nancy, who is 18 years old? Have you try these books with younger persons? Do they still read these stories in a world full of technology? Have you recommended these books to your children? ⬇️
