I'm Glad My Mom Died is a very emotional and heartbreaking memoir by the author.

I recommend this book for people who have seen Jenette before as an actor and are interested in her life experiences or for people who enjoy reading memoirs and biographies (but only if you can handle sensitive topics).

I listened to the audiobook version through Scribd. It was very meaningful to me that the book was narrated by the author self.

In the Shadows of Humanity is an interesting novel about a futuristic world in which humans and various types of AI live. Some times the terms used were confusing and the storyline a bit uninteresting. It was an ok science fiction.

I listened to the audiobook version through Scribd.

I enjoyed reading or listening to this thriller/mystery. I was interested in where they would go with the story, especially about Owen's past and the mysteries surrounding him. It kept me engaged until the end.

I recommend this book to people who like thrillers and mysteries.

Enjoyed this fun and steamy romance.

Two point of views, a missed chance at romance, years later the two main characters are throw into each other lives again: next to each other at work and even in their personal life, where they now have to live together.

Favorite romance novel of the year.

A rollercoaster of the supernatural and fantasy. Vampires, angels, reapers, Death, and it all started with a vampire dog! Was a fun read and an interesting start to a series.

#arc #BookSirens #AugustARC

A book about books, book lovers, collectors, critics, hoarders, writers, and more.

It is the perfect book to wander through, take your time, make a cup of tea and enjoy some leisure time, flipping through the pages.

I recommend this book to anyone who loves books and likes to smile, enjoying a graphic novel filled with illustrations and comics from the life of a reader, writer, and book lover.

5 ⭐

The second book, and the finale of the Clocktaur War.

It was a good finish to the story, packed with action and answers to some of the questions. The building was placed in a city this time, and there was a bit more clarity of what and who, and where.

Still loved the characters, their involvement, and their growth.

I was a bit confused with the world-building, but I liked the characters.

I picked up this book in a second-hand bookstore. I knew the author from The Golden Compass series and decided to give it a try.

It felt like a short enjoyable read, a historical mystery, but not much more to it than that.

Re-read the second novel in the Simon Snow series.
Loved it again. Great narration of the story on Audible.

I am very intrigued by Eragon's story and very curious to see how it will continue. It's a good start to the series and has piqued my interest in the series and the various characters we met in the first book.

Very good fantasy novel, with great storytelling and interesting characters.

Steamy Magical Romance.
A cozy small-town setting and a romance between a witch and a werewolf.

Loved rereading Carry On. Decided to reread it because I haven't read the third book in the series yet. Enjoyed going on the adventure again with Simon, Baz en Penelope.

I loved these books when I was a teenager, and I loved reading them again. The story itself is quite original, you have teenage romance, funny side characters, and time travel!

I recommend this series, especially if you are interested in time travel, young adult love, and adventure.

5 ⭐

3.5 / 5

It had an interesting concept and the promise of delivering a good message, but towards the end, it lacked that factor that made me want to enjoy it to the fullest and read the other books in the series.

I would still recommend that you read the book for yourself and enjoy it. It is an interesting story and the characters are interesting as well. I may not have liked the third part or the end of the story, but I still read it.

Rating: 3.5 / 5.

Little Women, but underwater. The classic story of sisters, family, and love meets mermaids. I was immediately drawn to the story with its beautiful mermaid illustrations and colors. I just would have enjoyed it more if the underwater world was more than a retelling of the same objects and subjects from Little Women.

A quick read. I liked this science fiction retelling of Cinderella a lot!
It follows the Cinderella storyline but adds an original take on the story with the intergalactic spaceship, flying pilots, and characters.

I loved reading Saphire Blue again. Xemerius is definitely my favorite character in the story. I recommend this book to people who like young adult romance/fantasy and time travel.

Re-read one of my favorites in English. The Dutch and German covers are way prettier though!

Love the time-travel topic. It is a fast-paced fun experience.

I have read Persuasion by Jane Austen. I actually listened to an audiobook version of the classic novel.

Once again, Jane Austen amazes me with her writing style, clever sentences, and intriguing storyline. It is not my favorite Jane Austen book, but I have certainly enjoyed it.

#scribd #audiobook

The book was filled with a good spooky feel, exciting and thrilling as I was rooting for our young heroes.

I recommend reading this series if interested in the paranormal and ghosts for a younger audience. Adventure and friendship go hand in hand in this series.

“It's not staying in the same place that's the problem, it's not letting your mind wander.“

A funny story of the Witches in this Discworld book. Liked this one a lot! Great lines, funny paragraphs. Laughed a lot while reading.

Like the first book in the series, it is a short book, fun for a younger audience, filled with a great friendship between a human girl and a ghost, and the two of them going on a frightening but exciting adventure in a foreign city.

#scribd #audiobook

The amazing third book in an ongoing series.
Based on Alice in Wonderland. Recommend it to people who like retellings and fantasy-romance novels.

Overall, an interesting Dummies book for training puppies. You can learn from it while still being critical about the information that is said.

I recommend this book to people who would want to adopt a dog, or have a puppy already and are looking for some information on puppies, their behavior, and how to teach them things.

#scribd #audiobook

A fun, quick read about the supernatural and our young main character going on an adventure with her ghost best friend.

#scribd #audiobook

I have always been interested in history, and the life and end of the Romanovs. Helen Rappaport very thoroughly describes the lives of the four sisters, the Grand Duchesses. Through sources, letters and diaries we follow their lives from childhood to growing up as young ladies. The lives they led and the hardships they endured. It was a story full of emotions and acts from the past.

#scribd #audiobook

It is written through the eyes of the biologist, which makes some of the notes interesting, such as pointing out the stage of zombification, different types of weapons to use against them, and how it possibly all started.

As a fan of zombie stories, I was intrigued when I found this book. The title alone made me want to read it. A fun, quick read for zombie book fans.

I recommend this book for people who like books with zombies as a subject.

The third book in the series. Good murder mystery and great duo for a true crime, who done it.

I listened to the audiobook, and again, it is a very good narration of the different characters.

I recommend this book after you read the first two and if you are interested in mystery, investigating a crime, who-done-it types of stories.

#scribd, #audiobook

I listened to the audiobook with a full cast of narrators. Each character had its own narration, which made it sound like I was listening to a theatre production. The story came to life from the pages. The short novel was told as a bedtime story, full of wonder and magic. The music in the background added to that wonderful feeling when I watched the ballet.

#scribd #audiobook

A story about new love, family, and creativity.

It is a great romantic contemporary. It is a slow build-up love story with characters who grow towards each other. But still fast-paced. A cute happy-end type of romcom that is perfect for a relaxing afternoon.

I recommend the book to people who like rom-com, chick-lit, and cute romantic stories.

The second book in the series. Great mystery, good duo.
Loved the murder mystery and all the little details hidden in solving the crime.

#scribd #audiobook

A royal fantasy. A cursed princess with a dangerous touch.

I really flew through the book. It was fast-paced and was very well written. I really liked the main storyline. Royalty and curses, alchemy, and deadly weapons.

I recommend this book for people who like royal fantasy, ya fantasy with a little romance, alchemy, and curses.

A unique twist on a murder mystery. Loved listening to the audiobook on #scribd.
Horowitz puts himself in the story, going on a quest to find out who killed the murder victim with the detective Hawthorne. Great mystery.

Military thriller/ zombie book. An interesting type of virus, good storytelling with an intense quest.

Recommend for thriller and zombie book readers.

A Beauty & the Beast retelling as part of a fae-inspired series (Entangled with Fae).

Even though it is a story of a young woman, who makes a deal with a mysterious, dark figure. It is still a fae story that takes place in an original setting with original characters.

I recommend this book to people who love fairy tale retellings, with hints of fantasy (fae) and (funny) romance.

The second book in the Bright Spear Trilogy. It continues the story of Sorcha, the Kelpie, and the golden fairy prince. I enjoyed the continuation of the series I started.

It is a fast-paced mystical story with sensual and loving moments. I recommend this book if you loved the first book and if you love stories about mythical creatures combined with the love for people.

Bring a cup of tea, sit back in a comfortable chair and follow Mrs. Pidgeon on her own investigation.

It was a comfortable and enjoyable book. It had a good pace and structure. Each chapter brought more information and the build-up was done nicely. I enjoyed unraveling the many layers of secrets and personal affairs the townspeople had. I enjoyed reading this comforting, relaxing murder mystery in a short amount of time.

#BookSirens #arc

4/5 stars

A novel written in a poetic script, filled with raw emotions and stories. It made me reflect, wonder and hope.

A magical-realism novel that makes you wonder about what it is trying to tell us. Behind the layers of the poetic and the magical is something we all recognize. It is not just Josie's story that we read, but that of many. And probably our own in some way.
