I felt that this volume was had a slower pace, and I mean SLOW, that I couldn't really get into this one as much as the last two volumes until I saw the Nightmare Knight towards the end.

I like the brief moment between him and Princess Parfait. I felt like they have a funny relationship and I'm hoping for more an unexpected friendship.

I had bought the second book at a used book store, but I'll be donating after having finished book one...

It wasn't necessarily bad, but I think the character in the cultural zeitgeist has outgrown the original story. You probably know all you want to know about Tarzan without reading this and spoiling your mental image. Overly long, pretty racist, way too many mentions of sinew, and a depressing ending took away from the overall enjoyment.

Quite a survival story of shipwrecked sailors in West Africa enslaved by Arab or local tribesmen. Very traumatic. Good people helped save some of them.

I enjoyed this, especially the descriptions of some of the locations along the journey, but I agree with some other reviews that the ending was anticlimactic.

📷: I listened to some of this as I was running farm errands, working around the shed, and getting the baler ready to go bale straw. #BooksOnTheFarm

1. Loyalty
2. I‘m really liking my 30s so far but I‘d have to say high school was the best era for me… I had a blast.
3. Carry it Well by Sam Fischer

1. Kindness, follow through, honesty
2. Maybe now, my 50‘s. I try to believe there is something good about now after listening to my dad say nothing good happens after …insert every year after 30. No glass half full for him and it‘s tiresome.
3. Stuck in the Middle by Stealer‘s Wheel. Every decade has had some version of “clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right” lol!

Eggs #3 especially during one‘s working years. Thanks for playing 🥳 5d
Karisa #3 is so true for me too especially with 25 years teaching 6th grade in a middle school 😂 5d

I signed up for an account with https://www.audiobooks.com/ because a Hearts Through History author had some #audiobook holds for her first book. I figured I could fit listening to it in my reading schedule. Downside another account, password, and app. Plus side seems like they have a lot of content, even for free!

I spotted two of my favorite narrators listed: Simon Vance and Katherine Kellgren!!! 🩷

This is an excellent YA sci-fi speculative fiction story. A family camps in #Greenland so the father can study climate change while the mother writes about mitochondrial DNA while son explores the land. But nothing is as it seems and it all unravels when the son discovers a colony of people living underground for generations, who will lose their home as the climate warms. Told from two perspectives of the above- and below-world, I enjoyed the ⬇️
