#DynamicDs Day 13: #Diamond - I have the entire series (just checked my bookshelves obsessively to check all titles are there), but haven‘t gotten around to reading it yet. Is it any good? Apparently it‘s been made into a film! 💕

Eggs I haven‘t read it👏🏻👏🏻 7h

I'm Glad My Mom Died | Jennette McCurdy

I honestly wasn‘t a huge fan of the writing style, but otherwise I thought this was a good memoir, and I have a lot of respect for McCurdy sharing her story. The abuse and mental health struggles etc. that she experienced were heartbreaking and hard to read about at times, so it couldn‘t have been easy to write about them. I really appreciate how candid she was about her experiences.

The Book of Cold Cases | Simone St. James

⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2
I had a lot of fun with the first half of this. The mystery was intriguing, the paranormal aspects were nice and spooky, and I was really interested in seeing where the story would go. The second half had some issues with pacing that ended up making things less interesting for me by the end, but overall, I still enjoyed it.

FantasyChick I had some of the same issues with the second half but I find that with almost all of her books I've read. This one is by far my favourite from this author! 2y

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I really enjoyed this gothic tale. The mystery aspect hooked me right out of the gate, and I enjoyed how the writing created a somewhat disorienting effect at times.

FantasyChick So happy you enjoyed it! I'm really getting into books by this author. They are just the right balance of creepy, weird and questionable! 2y
shadowspeak17 @FantasyChick Oh, do you have any other books by her that you would recommend? I‘m definitely interested in reading more of her work. Creepy, weird, and questionable sound right up my alley, haha! 2y

A fun, easy read. It was a fitting end to the Ember series. I think the themes of light and darkness were prevalent. This was not only in the physical sense but also in the contrast of characters. This was the ultimate reemergence of man coming back into the light of knowledge after the darkness of the great Disaster. This is my May #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks

Another light pick for me. Naturally, not all of these stories worked for me and some were more memorable than others, but several were clever and funny and I enjoyed the time I spent reading them.

@Megabooks I mailed this yesterday. It should get to you by Tuesday. 😊👍🏽

I enjoyed the weirdness and unique ideas in this collection, but it lost some steam for me in the second half. A light pick.

I‘m planning on mailing this tomorrow, @Megabooks . I‘ll send you the tracking number when I have it. 😊

shadowspeak17 @Megabooks Okay, it‘s on the way. I just emailed you the tracking number. 😊 3y
Megabooks It arrived! I saw your note about using post its and that‘s cool, but I did notice a few underlined sentences. Is that okay? To underline when warranted? 3y
shadowspeak17 @Megabooks Oh, good! I was hoping it wouldn‘t actually take until Monday to get to you. 😄 I actually underlined using clear sticky notes. I sent some along with the book if you want to try them out, but if you‘d rather do it on the book that‘s okay. :) 3y
Megabooks Ah! I‘ve never used those before. Excited to try them out! 3y
