I liked the baking, the rest of the plot was a bit meh, though.

Lord of the Flies: New Educational Edition | William Golding

I talked to a young man reading The Lord of the Flies yesterday at the thrift store. It was a delight talking to someone eager to read it for the first time not knowing what to expect.

I loved this adventurous, mountain-climbing fantasy novel. I can't wait to read the second one. The vivid descriptions of the agonizing climb up the icy mountain made me feel like I was there. I was cold and exhausted. It was so well drawn. It was exciting and different. Read this book with a hot cup of tea.

The Dagger and the Flame | Catherine Doyle

so-so

Meh. Didn‘t really care for this one. Too YA for me. So much drama because of misunderstandings. Fantasy/Magic was interesting, but not enough for me to probably continue with this series.

5⭐️ I loved it! This book is banned because of its LGBTQ themes, but I think they were missing the bigger picture of the story. It‘s about being true to yourself and standing up for what you believe in. It‘s about facing persecution whether it‘s for gender, race or sexuality. It‘s about overcoming obstacles and learning that just because somebody has always been in your life doesn‘t mean they should be. #ReadBanedBooks

Littlewolf1 To tell you the truth when I started reading this, I did not know what to expect. It‘s not my type of book in any sense of the word. But Lily is an amazing character, and I found myself inspired by her strength. And the character development in the story is so good. The added timelines and backstory of the supporting characters really help to provide insight into the story regression. All in all, this book was terrific. (edited) 8h

shortsarahrose I‘m so glad you liked this! 8h

CatLass007 Unfortunately, all of the bigger themes that you mentioned probably still would have raised complaints from the banners. It‘s unfortunate, but true. People who want books banned accept their version of the truth alone. Everyone else is supposed to conform to their reality. Women and minorities should neither be seen nor heard. 8h

Read4life I agree with your assessment. I, too, loved this book and Lily! 7h

Late to the party! 😬

I didn't find this the addictive, compulsive page turner everyone said it was. I found it VERY tedious in the middle but it picked up when Rhysand was introduced. I hope the rest of the series picks up as this was just a Beauty and the Beast retelling 🤣

I am, however, getting strange vibes from Tamlin... so I will finish the series and hope it grips me!

5feet.of.fury Yeah, Book 2 is really where the magic happens. I liked the trials in ACOTAR 1 but a lot of that book seemed like a totally different thought. 11h

jamield1911 @5feet.of.fury I'm intrigued enough to continue! 8h
