pickCheesey action movie vibes.
I loved it.
Was thrown for a loop by the zombies though.
Keeps your attention the whole time. Love the cliff hangers.
Very well written.
bailedI was hoping this would be as fun and charming as the cover, but by 12% in, I couldn't take anymore. I don't need the writer to continually tell me they are "rivals" in the rivals-to-lovers trope. I got it after the 1st few pages. Soooo much telling instead of showing, especially the sexual tension. It loses something when you beat the reader over the head with it. I get it...they want to jump each other. Moving on to something better to end 2024.
pickOverall I liked this historical fiction from the point of view of a girl who stows away on the Titanic, but there were a few issues for me as a reader. Hazel sneaks onto the ship and then makes herself way too visible, including spending time in the first class areas. She asks specific questions that provide lots of clear information about the flaws/mistakes that led to the catastrophe, and of course it all works out well for her in the end.
Thank you @TheAromaofBooks for the lovely card and the amazing sticker! I can‘t wait to continue this adventure with all our #BobWhiteBuddies !
so-soA decently satisfying end to this series, although not nearly as strong as the previous book. As always, Nicola Barber‘s reading on the audiobook was excellent.
Thank you @jitteryjane724 for my lovely #JolabokaflodSwap package! I am excited to start this beautiful book tonight (I was hoping it would be the one I received as I love something fun to read on Christmas Eve.) The chocolate looks delicious as well—I love Andes & I‘m excited to try the cranberry dark chocolate bar too. Happy Jólabókaflód!
Thank you @MaleficentBookDragon for hosting this fun swap each year! ???
@karisimo saw this shared by @Eggs #MiddleGradeMonday and it was a lot of fun!
I absolutely LOVED the tagged book, and a birthday gift that one of the protagonists gets in this book catalyses the whole adventure.
pickAh these books are just a breath of fresh air and so light. The third volume centers on the extra 13 stories in the treehouse, the machine that will write a book for them and some weird guy called the uninventor. Chaos ensues and things get thrown out of whack but in the end it all comes together and everyone is happy. Illustrations are cute and love the story.
pickGood addition of Gary Paulsen of survivor stories. Great story about tragedy and resilience.
