pickViolet is attending Comic Con where the actors from her favourite book-turned-into-a-film 'The Gallows Dance' are due to appear, when a freak accident transport Violet, younger brother Nate, & friends Alice & Katie into the story world for real. Now they are right in the midst of the struggle between the perfect 'Gems' & the 'Imps' (Imperfects) but their appearance derails the story & causes the death of 'Imp' heroine, Rose.
We arrived in an undignified heap of witch and vampire.

so-soHonestly I got this book because of #CoverLove
But I found the story lacking. It reads like a YA, the characters feel childish and absolutely nothing happens for the biggest part of the book.

pickThe Ministry of Time takes place in the near future when the British intelligence services have come across the ability to time travel. They decide to take some people from points in history when they would have died anyway and bring them to the present, calling them ‘Expats‘, to see if they can adapt to life in the present.They have ‘bridges‘ to watch out for them and teach them our modern ways.This was a really great story;(cont. in comments👇🏻
Finally tackling the mamma Jamma. #outlander
pick5⭐️ & 5😭 four minute I was like, yes!, Because I really thought I got out of that unscathed. Yeah I was wrong. This is booked three of the Before The Coffee Gets Cold series, and I can honestly say that I have not had a dry eye in the three that I‘ve read so far. It‘s touching, heartfelt and just emotionally damaging, but in a best way. I absolutely love the series and I will continue to read them as long as the author continues to release them.
Monday finds me on #Seattle ‘s UW campus, where each of Barrett Bloom's steps feels borrowed from the day before. We get glimpses of Mount Rainier and references to Mercer Island and Bellevue—PNW has my heart. 🌲

Both these Audio holds came in today. So guess I'm Audiobooking through this week and finishing Assassin's Quest #RealmOfElderlings 🤷🏼♀️
So much for trying to plan my reading for the month.
so-so3✨Another solid story to try to find: “the missing things”. We find out in this book the connection between the items they are looking for. A lot of great information on the Amazon rainforest for young readers. My son enjoyed the animal pictures and the peace of the story.
pickAugust was relatable and I loved her character arc. She was first introvert without friends but ended up living with her found family. I also loved secondary characters.
I was a bit surprised when I noticed how this could be a sci-fi book but I think I just enjoyed this more like this. I love mysteries.
This was pretty predictable first but I have to say I was curious about the ending.
I enjoyed this more than I had expected.
4.5🌟
