Starting some fantasy today... hope it‘s as good as expected!
“To forgive was irrelevant, but to forget was death.”
This book should be required reading. Absolutely stunning tale of salvation and courage. Loved every minute of it.
Science fiction at its absolute best. The books in this series have all been thrilling to read. The writing beautiful. The story compelling. I‘m excited to start the latest in the series.
It‘s freezing outside so a great time to curl up with this fun story!
Took much longer than it should have for me to finish this, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Very interesting take on developing crime fighting methods and thoughts about women especially mothers as killers.
I‘ve enjoyed this series so far; looking forward to this one.
Loved this book and this passage really spoke to me:
“And people should see it. We‘re different, and they need to accept our difference.”
I recommend this book to anyone interested in what it means to be black/a woman/abused/strong/a survivor.
This was so good. I learned so much about Trevor Noah‘s life and about South Africa. Very insightful and thought provoking. This should be required reading. ☕️📚
Looking forward to lots of laughter and wacky fun while reading this...
This book has given me life... I‘m so happy that Michelle Obama shared this beautiful story. That this girl from the South Side of Chicago became the 44th First Lady is inspiring, and I enjoyed every word of this book. One of my favorite quotes from the book is:
“For me, becoming isn‘t about arriving somewhere or achieving a very aim. I see it instead as forward motion, a means to reach continuously toward a better self.”
Just finished this and really enjoyed the writing, characters, and story. Cannot wait for the next in the trilogy
Really enjoyed A Great Reckoning and looking forward to reading this! Good mystery, excellent writing. Took me too long to finish (totally my fault/easily distracted lately), I really enjoyed the book.
Cannot get enough of this series... Sometimes you just need a happy ending. Good addition to the series. I enjoyed the storytelling and the characters immensely. Looking forward to finding out what happens next.
Starting the second in the series today. Just finished the first one last night (stayed up reading past my bedtime 😃)
Excellent fantasy novel. Can‘t wait to find out what happens in the book in this series. Rhysand is certainly an intriguing character who will undoubtedly challenge every expectation and belief that Feyre has including her feelings for Tamlin. Enjoyed this and looking forward to reading more.
I bailed on this one after a few weeks of trying to get through it...just could not bring myself to really care about the main characters— found them to be too self-obsessed and perhaps at the end of the day simply not people I‘d like very much. The book just wasn‘t my cup of tea.
Just finished, and thoroughly enjoyed this book. It‘s mainly a coming of age tale, but also a story about the village, the collective that each of us has to put us back together when our pieces seem shattered beyond repair. Life is part comedy, part tragedy, sometimes great, and sometimes traumatic but we have to find a way to keep living like Julia. Great read.
I haven‘t read any of the other books featuring Detective Gamache, but I‘m interested in their story.
“There‘s never been a right choice, honeybun. The whole idea that there are two things and you have to choose is the problem.” Rarely are things simple, life is full of complications and this book puts that simple truth on full display. Thought provoking and compelling storytelling. I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend this book!
Loved The Lunar Chronicles, and I‘m totally excited to start this book! Thoroughly enjoyed this story. Lots of twists and turns that leave plenty to explore in a series. I cannot wait to find out what happens to Nova and Adrian - what will become of the Renegades & Anarchists? Which side will Nova choose to support? Is one really better than the other?
#BlackHistoryMonth Reading something timely about race, immigration, family, and capitalism by a WOC.
Absolutely loved the Red Rising trilogy and I‘m thrilled to start a new series, a continuation with these characters from Pierce Brown!
So excited to be starting this. The first in the series, An Ember in the Ashes, was excellent!
Starting a new series with this. Have heard really good things....
Absolutely loved Akata Witch and very excited about reading this!
Looking forward to reading HRC's perspective on the 2016 election.
About half way into this, and really enjoying the storytelling so far
Gabriel Allon is a great character. Starting the latest in this series tonight...
Need something suspenseful, hope this is as good as I've heard...
"There are fundamentally two ways you can experience the police in America: as the people you call when there's a problem, the nice man who pats a toddler's head and has an easy smile for the old lady as she buys her coffee. For others, the police are the people who are called on them. They are the ominous knock on the door, the sudden flashlight in the face, the barked orders."
Absolutely love the Harry Hole series. It's dark and gripping. Just started the latest and I'm already hooked...
Absolutely love Insecure on HBO, and looking forward to this book by Issa Rae!
As a person who often says no even when I'd really like to say yes, I'm hoping this memoir will challenge and encourage more yeses in my own life.
Finished the first in this series about a week ago. Can't wait to see what happens in this one
Switching it up and reading some non-fiction. Just started today, so far so good
pickJust finished! Excellent addition to the series. Allon and his band of spies continue to capture my imagination and keep me on the edge of my seat.
"Race, gender, and class are basic elements of one's living. Basic as utensils and clothing; always in use; always needing repairs and updates. Basic as body and breath, justice and reason, passion and imagination. So the question isn't 'Which matters most?,' it's 'How does each matter?'"
Excellent, thought provoking memoir
