This book is a must read for Canadians and those living in the U.S.A.

They turn their glowing evil red eyes toward .e, and I laugh when they do not fire, for I am a spirit warrior and I point my rifle at them, pull the trigger, and shit down my leg, because I am alone amongst a pack of hunterkiller robots and it is no rifle in my hand, it is only a mop. P. 350

This book as a little different than the previous ones in the series because it hops back and forth between the perspectives of different characters. I enjoy that it includes the perspective of Lysander since he was previously considered an "enemy".
The book ends on a cliffhanger and I'm curious to read more!

Loved it alot!

"But it might help if the world was different. We could start by not scorning one another for our beliefs, or lack of them...but perhaps it's too soon for that. Perhaps it will take the end of the world."

This book contains a lot of incest and some very intimate scenes. The sentences are very long and Dialogue can be difficult to follow due to a lack of pronouns. Overall, the book is rather redundant and large chunks could be eliminated without affecting the overall story.

I think this book is amazing. I was very surprised about the turn it took, but it gave a harsh glimpse of racism in England in the 1830s. It talks about child labor and the harsh reality of the gap between social classes that still exists today. It discussed imperialism and ideologies, along with the reality of capitalism and the free market. All while telling a beautiful, and sad story. I loved it.

This is how colonialism works. It convinces us that the fallout from resistance is entirely our fault, that the immoral choice is resistance itself rather than the circumstances that demanded it.

I didn't actually end up finishing this book. The protagonist is a person I don't like. She's consistently complaining and comparing herself to others. She steals a friend's manuscript after death and publishes it as her own, reveling in the unearned success it brings her. Along the way, she finds ways to complain about her success and the people around her who don't share her opinions or don't like her.

I was surprised by the ending but overall very pleased!

The reviews I read before I started this book were very mixed. I think that for some people, if they read Stephanie Meyer's other books and didn't like them, they were likely destined not to like this.
This book is more like her book The Host, dealing with being on the run, the paranoia that comes with it, and the unlikely relationships forged. There is, of course, a love story but I thought that it only added to the charm of this book.

This was a great book. It's kind of like a mash-up of the story of Aladdin and The Forty Thieves but with more fantasy blended in. It's definitely a pick for me! I'm excited to read the next book coming our later this year!

At first I wasn't sure about this book but it dragged me right in, up to the point where I started looking around for some Southern recipes and learning how to make grits. I was REALLY surprised about the ending, I did not expect that. Definitely a pick.

This book was amazing! I had previously avoided Stephen King novels because I assumed they were all horror but I stumbled across this by accident and it was perfect. The cross between science fiction and historical fiction was excellent and I love history. There are a few portions that made me cringe a little bit because they were violent and very bluntly written but otherwise amazing.

Much better than the last two books written by David Lagercrantz. It more closely resembles the writing of the original author of the Millenium series, and it ties up some loose ends.
The only thing that I disliked was the character development (or lack thereof) of Mikael Blomkvist.

I definitely enjoyed the ending of this book and watching a certain romance evolve into something more. The only drawback was what some other reviews have mentioned about there being a lot of repetition of the same conversation. Still a pick for me though!

Great book and captivating! One thing that irked me was a comment at the end about Hitler being a failed artist. While he may have been turned down by the Academy of Fine Arts, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Whether art is good or bad is solely based on perception. The insinuation doesn't line up with the storyline of the book, considering it being about "degenerate" art.

I was skeptical about reading this book because it's not my usual thing and it's written in the form of an interview. But I LOVED IT! I love classic rock and I love reading about how bands come together and the struggles that come with being famous. Drugs were so casual a few decades ago and it blows my mind how much people used and how it was socially acceptable.
A really great book about fame, substance abuse, love, and struggle.

Songs are about how it felt, not the facts. Self-expression is about what it feels to live, not whether you had the right to claim any emotion at any time.

Great book! The sentence structures used by the author are a little different in some places so I had to re-read here and there to make sure I understood.

Definitely did not expect the plot twist that this ending had in store!

Excellent! I love the passion that Radha feels for her work. Her quest for finding meaning in her life makes me want to go to Europe and travel.

I had already read this book in the past and wasn't originally happy with it but after re-reading it, my opinion has changed. There's still a little too much of the selfish, self-deprecating dialogue that goes on in Feyre's mind for my liking but overall I enjoyed thr book immensely.

If you've ever read The Lord of the Rings, you'll know that J. R. R. Tolkien would spend a lot of time describing things. They're journeying to Mordor and it takes 5 pages for them to walk 2 feet because of the amount of description that goes into everything. Which is something in common with this book is the amount of unnecessary description.

Wow!!! I was hooked through the entire book and so surprised at the ending!! The complexity of the characters and the changes they go through is very relatable.

I really enjoyed Shannon's "The Priory of the Orange Tree", so I was really excited to pick up this book. I started reading it at the airport (which is not a great place to concentrate), but by the time my plane landed I was hooked! I'm very curious to see where it goes after this...

The ending of this book was amazing! I got very teary eyed at certain points of this book, definitely a pick!

It took me a while to get into this book, partially because the main character is kind of an oddball. But as I kept reading, there was some very interesting plot twists and now I can't wait to read the next one and see where it goes!

The letters chosen for this book are all ones about issues that I can confidently say face people every day. There were some that almost made me cry and a few anecdotes that made me laugh. But it wasn't until close to the end that I found one that relates to my own personal issue right now that really struck a chord with me. I'll definitely have this book around to give me hope anytime another issue may come up that this book can relate to.

Boundaries teach people how to treat you, and they teach you how to respect yourself.

It was a good read but maybe lacking in some areas. I didn't feel much of an emotional connection to the main character. That being said, I'm intrigued to find out more about Nancy Wake and potentially read her biography, assuming it's still in print.

After I got about 200 pages from the end, I couldn't STOP! I finished the rest in one sitting and let me tell you, this book kept surprising me until the very end!

I don't think I can do this book justice with any review. It's amazing and I can't wait to read the next one!

I loved The Henna Artist and was equally impressed by this second book! I love the character development and it had me hooked right away and all the way through.

I greatly enjoyed this book! It kept me engaged the entire time and had some unexpected plot twist that I really enjoyed. Definitely a pick for me.

I really enjoyed reading Sapiens and Homo Deus by Dr. Harari and I would say that the arguments made in this point are very enlightening but have you ever taken a biology class about how the brain thinks and your brain hurts thinking about how it thinks? Some of the info in this book about algorithms, and bioengineering and how they will affect our brains in the future made my brain hurt like that.

The main reason that I read this book was to educate myself more on the LGBTQS2+ community, especially for the workplace. This book was amazing! It was very informative and hilarious! I laughed out loud quite a few times! I would definitely recommend this book for everyone.

"Coming out is a potential minefield. One wrong step and your metaphorical gay leg will be blown clean off."

"There is a special place in Hades for ALL people - gay, straight, or otherwise - who kiss with visible tongue/audible slurping in public places."

Can't argue with that!!

The word ecclesiastical is extremely over used in this book! Quite literally used every few pages.

Amazing! I love Kate Quinn's books and this is no exception. I find that not as many books are written from the perspective of someone in the USSR; they are often painted in a negative light. But this changes that and spreads knowledge about an amazing female sniper in WWII, someone who could kill and become friends with Eleanor Roosevelt.
Don't skip the authors notes at the end! Some really interesting things there.

After the first speech you're afraid the boredom will kill you; after the fifth speech, you're pursuing it will.

A good fantasy novel but also falls somewhere in the realm of romance novels...the very graphic kind with a LOT of details! I didn't expect that but I'm also not complaining!

This book was very good and captivating! My only complaint was that so much time was spent leading up to the end...which ended rather abruptly and shortly! A little bit disappointing there.

If I could pick somewhere between a pick and a so-so, that's where this book would be. It's not to say that I didn't find it to be a good read, but I was frustrated by some of the large chunks of time between portions that were left out. Of course they may not have been pertinent to the story but it would have helped to develop the characters more and help to be a le to empathize with them more.

This book was an interesting addition to the series that just focused on Chaol and his healing journey and how he comes to meet Yrene. I definitely enjoyed reading about his journey and I love Yrene but I agree with other reviews about Nesryn's portion not being as engaging. Overall, very good!

This book was so great! It was funny in places and heartbreaking in others. The ending really pulled on my heart strings.
Not only was it a great book but also a heart wrenching reminder that racism is still a very real issue and I'm sad to say that I see it working in retail and it truly is terrible. Books like this put things into perspective and help inspire change.

I'm a little bit conflicted about this book. On the one hand, it was very interesting to read about the Targaryen history. On the other, it was extremely confusing to read about a couple having 14 children, 4 of them named Aegon, and only 3 living to be adults. It was also sort of dry...even the telling of someone being tortured was rather uninteresting.
