This was such a beautiful story about friendship, love, respect, and understanding of all beings and people from all walks of life. There were so many sweet and emotional moments, and even the characters with a bit of an edge make it impossible not to love them. It reminded me a bit of Miss Peregrine‘s Home for Peculiar Children but for adults.
I am so excited for the sequel!

This was campy and fun! A couple of years ago, a green mist covered the world and turned a portion of the people into ghouls. This book follows 4 ghouls, who packed their cooler of synthetic flesh, and went to a festival in the desert. Something keeps infecting ghouls at the festival and turning them feral. So it's up to our ghoul gang to figure out/stop the virus from infecting other ghouls.

Wow, this book! It just blew me away. Felix felt so real, even when I wasn't reading the book he was there with me. More than once I had to close the book, because my emotions run wild. Kacen states that this a very personal book, and it shows. On each page. It also shows how much pressure there is on young people. We olf folk tend to smile at what teenagers have to go through, forgetting how it feels to have the whole world on your shoulders.

PuddleJumper It's such a good read! 49m

I finished this lovely novella during an outdoor reading session with a buddy who was more interested in sniffing everything in sight than in posing for a picture. Dogs, man.

A LITTLE LIGHT MISCHIEF was a great reminder of Cat Sebastian‘s excellence. Solid character development and good chemistry, all in less than a hundred pages. #gaymay

Giovanni‘s Room by James Baldwin!

I've been pining for this book to be adapted into a movie ever since I first read it. The knowledge of a secret screenplay squirrelled away somewhere in a London flat penned by Baldwin himself only made the notion more desirous.

Forever holding out hope!

eskoch28 I LOVED this book! 4d
TheIntrovertedDodoBird @eskoch28 It's absolutely INCREDIBLE! Baldwin is exquisite in every way. 4d
Gabbymags123 Colleen Hoover … Kristen Hanna they r amazing authors and of coarse Freida McFadden 3d
TheIntrovertedDodoBird @Gabbymags123 I've heard great things about Freida McFadden. Chuck Palahnuick, Alan Hollinghurst, and Neil Gaiman are a few of my favourites. 2d

I dunno....that was kind of...bad? Maybe unoriginal is a better word. At 2.5x speed on audio, it was palatable; I'm pretty sure I would have skimmed parts if I was reading physically. I did love the idea of a slow burn romance, the introduction of puppy, of little old lady who knows her mysteries, of the potential of fixing up an old property and getting more involved with the community, 1/4

Robotswithpersonality 2/4 even a main character who's bad at life-preserving decisions and at lying. 🤦🏼‍♂️ There's actually the possibility that if I treat this whole book as a prologue, I could like the next in the series a lot more. There are a fair amount of easy shortcut stereotypes/two dimensional/brief descriptions in the characters introduced, 4d
Robotswithpersonality 3/4 but if I think of it as a Harlequin romance with a mystery twist, it's not any worse than a lot of books I read in my late teens/early twenties. For those who, like me, find it kind of shady, heads up that this M/M romance is not own voices rep as it is written by a woman under a pen name. 🙄 4d
Robotswithpersonality 4/4 Not to disparage some truly wonderful writing I have encountered in that space, but finding out the author previously wrote fanfic, is not surprising. If you're looking for a few hours of brain off diversion, you might enjoy it. 4d
rwmg Yeah, I've always found her books to be rather bland but OK for when I want something where no brain power is needed. I wasn't particularly surprised when I found out that she is a woman but I did not like the fact that quite apart from the male pen-name, she had actively tried to deny she was a woman and pass herself off as a gay man. 4d
Robotswithpersonality @rwmg Yikes! The back story emerges and it is icky! 4d
