I love characters in this series, I enjoyed meeting them again.

There was a lot of action, but the plot wasn't really surprising: every single thing got solved maybe even too smoothly and I was a bit disappointed. At the beginning there were several impossible looking challenges ahead but they weren't that challenging after all.

This was a fun book, made me laugh and I enjoyed reading.

Clive Cussler's Hellburner | Mike Maden

so-so

#Hellburner #MikeMaden #BookSpinBingo #SeriesLove2024

When Juan Cabrillo fails to capture the leader of Mexico‘s most dangerous drug cartel and loses an Oregon crew member in the process, he‘s determined to get revenge. Little does he know that the explosion he just narrowly escaped was merely the latest flash of violence from a machine of war that has existed for decades, dating from the bloodiest episode in Armenia‘s history.

DieAReader, Andrew65, TheSpineView, TheAromaofBooks

EadieB Cabrillo‘s Corporation of mercenaries may have finally met its match in The Pipeline—a criminal syndicate passed down from father to son across generations. A group that sits with its finger on the trigger of a torpedo so deadly it could level entire cities. With millions of innocent civilians hanging in the balance, the Oregon‘s crew must unravel a tangle of drug-smuggling routes 12h

EadieB and international conspiracies spanning from the Aegean Sea to the Indian Ocean, putting their lives on the line to find the weapon before its countdown hits zero.
This was a good book but a bit different spin than the other books in the Oregon files. It was written by Mike Maden but not with Clive Cussler. This changed the whole voice of the novel and I found it a bit distracting while reading the book. 12h

EadieB The characters of the crew did not work together and I did miss this in the book. Hopefully Mike Maden will correct this in his next writing of the book. I think the books should be a bit consistent with the other books as this book feels like a different series. I realize that it must be difficult to write a book following the author‘s death but feel like it‘s important to get it right or start a new series. 12h

EadieB Sorry for being so critical but this is just a suggestion to help the author with his next endeavor of writing the next book. 12h

Percy Jackson 2 - The Sea of Monsters | Riordan, Rick

Listening to something easy on my audiowalk tonight. Last weekend I was wearing fleece and now there are buttercups. Made me smile after a long week.

CatLass007 Buttercups are so precious. I‘m not usually a fan of yellow, but how can you not like a buttercup? 11h

This one has been on my want-to-reread list forever, so having it be a #Roll100 pick this month gave me that final nudge! While some parts of this story feel a little cluttered, overall it's just such a fun little story with some delightfully memorable characters. Feiffer's illustrations really add so much.

Ruthiella I only first read this a few years ago as an adult. I remember it being in the school library in elementary school but I never picked it up. I think I thought it was about math. 😆 20h

Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage | Alfred Lansing

1. Stranger in the Mirror
It‘s been hard coming to grips with how much I‘ve changed since getting pregnant and having The Wyrmling. Not just physically but emotionally and mentally as well. Although it‘s still a surprise when I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror. My mental image of myself hasn‘t updated to the new outer look…

2. Tagged. Excellent book about an adventure I could never hope to survive, but loved reading about.

TheSpineView Thanks for playing! Have a great day 😀 2d

LiteraryinLawrence I totally relate to that feeling. Not due to pregnancy, just aging/body changes. It‘s jarring sometimes, isn‘t it? Sending hugs! 2d

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm @LiteraryinLawrence Thank you, sending hugs back! 🥰 It really is. I know I have extra pounds hanging around but I‘m not really aware of it until I walk past the bathroom mirror to take a shower. It honestly doesn‘t really get me down unless I‘m having a bad day already. I knew I wasn‘t going to have the same body after carrying and squeezing out a whole child. 😅 I‘m just surprised my brain hasn‘t caught up with it. 1d
