Mehso-so

141 pages. While the main character is a prodigy and the theme - life struggles of a kid who wants to matter - is promissing, in the end the book turned out to be dull. Missed a better plot and needed more closure on some of the events and characters.

I have always loved this charming children's book, and when I saw today's prompt, it was the first thing I thought of! #MusicalInstrumentOnTheCover #BiblioMAYnia

“Mary had lived closely with Shelley‘s fear of pursuit, and this, together with parental rejection, night horrors, and experiments in electricity, was a crucial ingredient for Frankenstein.” #Prodigy
I finished the section on Mary Shelley; so much I did not know. Now onto Emily Bronte. @LeahBergen You just might enjoy this book! 😘

LeahBergen I‘ve had this one stacked for so long and haven‘t bought it! It looks like it has been re-released in hardcover. 🤔 I loved this author‘s book about Emily Dickinson (have you read it?) 5y
erzascarletbookgasm Sounds interesting. Look forward to your review:) 5y
kspenmoll @LeahBergen I found this in the new section at the library. I did read her other a long time ago; hoping I did give it away - would like to reread although I know there is more info now in newer books. This is an intro to me as I have not read Emily‘s books 😱, just poetry. Now I have to! What do you suggest first? 5y

LeahBergen @kspenmoll For Emily Bronte? Unfortunately, she only ever wrote the one novel, Wuthering Heights. 😩 She was supposedly writing another novel at the time of her death but it was never found (there is some speculation that her sister, Charlotte, got rid of much of her sisters‘ writings that she didn‘t quite “approve” of). 5y
kspenmoll @LeahBergen Thanks Leah. I never read Wuthering Heights. I really know very little of the Bronte‘s except some of her poetry & his sister‘s Jane Eye. So This book has been exciting for me. I do have more background knowledge re V Woolf & Eliot but have never heard of Olive Schreirer. 5y
LeahBergen I know virtually nothing of Olive Schreiner, either! 5y

This book hit me right in the FEELS. I can't say much without spoiling, but I can say I know Marie Lu is going to be my new heartbreaker. The story was so rich with action, suspense, and romance that was all evenly paced. It was so fresh from the typical dystopian I've read (as was the first one!) DEFINITELY READ IT!!! 💕😭😱

Another heart wrenchingly cheesy romance enveloped in an action packed dystopian world. The book went in all kids of ways unexpected - and I couldn't totally tell what would happen next (which is great!). I'm still crying over the loss of Kaede - one of the most badass fighter pilots I've ever read about - and of course the separation of the Republic's two favs. I have a feeling I know what will happen in the next... 😭😭 #prodigy #legendtrilogy

"The working-class gets shafted everywhere, don't they? My point is this: The Colonies are better than the Republic in some ways. But believe it or not, the reverse is also true. No such thing as a stupid utopia you've been fantasizing about, Day. doesn't exist. There's no point trying to tell you that before. It's just something you had to see for yourself."

Got about 30% through and had to bail. This was incredibly boring. Not quite what I expected.

Just finished this series some time ago. It was fantastic.

Have you read it? Or is it on your TBR list?

rachelsbrittain Love this series and Marie Lu! I just got the last book in the Young Elites trilogy from my library so I'm hoping to finish that one soon as well 😊 I'd definitely recommend it if you liked Legend! 7y
Bookswithcurls @rachelsbrittain Okay that sounds awesome, I will try it out.😊 (edited) 7y

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️There are a lot of celebrity author's out there when it comes to children's picture books, very few are any good. I loved this whimsical, musical picture book by John Lithgow and I was lucky enough to meet him and have him sign it. His other children's picture books are good as well. #sizzlingsummerbooks #celebritylove

LibrarianRyan I so agree. Him and Jamie Lee Curtis write the best celebrity kids books. I always have to have the new one!!💛💚🖤💜💙💗💓💞💖💘💝 7y
mrp27 @LibrarianRyan Yes, I love Jamie Lee Curtis too! Another good celebrity author! 7y
