Death Be Not Proud | John Gunther

“This is not so much a memoir of Johnny in the conventional sense as the story of a long, courageous struggle between a child and Death.”

Sad, but good. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A teen forms an unexpected bond with a wolf and a team of scientists and tries to survive her death trap of a world. I read this because it‘s one of my library‘s community reads this year. I didn‘t care for it. It‘s an interesting book, and well told, but the main character‘s self-blame pity parties got really old and so did the author‘s shortening of words to sound futuristic and edgy (predator? Pred. Corporation? Corpo. Transport? Transpo. Etc)

I wound up missing a volume or two because of the confusing way this manga is structured, and it really showed up in this volume because I missed some important character introductions 😆 otherwise, another excellent volume. I liked the way we lean about Taichi‘s past in-chapter instead of in a chapter all its own. #LGBTQIA #Disabled #Manga

I am still loving this series. We get to see the characters continue to grow in their relationship and in their professional lives in this volume, and dove into the lives of some side characters as a fun aside. #LGBTQIA #Manga

No one knew where she had come from...a scrap of a girl clinging to a black cat with eerie yellow eyes. And no one noticed that at night her innocent blue eyes turned an eerie, evil yellow..

Not a particularly good installment in this series. There were unappealing side characters, problematic stereotypes and a mess of a plot.

TheAromaofBooks I'm gathering from various reviews that this wasn't the strongest entry in the series 😂 2d

kwmg40 @Seabreeze_Reader Hard to say, as there have been several I've liked very much, but The Clue of the Broken Locket and The Secret in the Old Attic come to mind. 15h

An apocalyptic novel about the Earth undergoing environmental collapse and how humans react to it. This was published in 1998 but some aspects seem scarily relevant, like the dangers of the anti-science movement.

This was one of our #ScreamTeam lead favourites and it was an excellent choice for the spooky season. A disturbing haunted-house story that has the gothic feel of a Daphne Du Maurier novel.

I‘m now 3 for 3 in books that didn‘t live up to my high hopes. I‘m giving it a pick because I learned exactly what went on in Flint that probably caused the lead crisis, but the narrative was all over the place and the tone was off. She tries to strike a conversational, storytelling tone but I found it a little too informal in places, and she comes across a little bit manic, impulsively shooting off e-mails and such
