This book is huge! It took a month to complete it. It was so worth it. I really loved all the love stories in this book. Glorian was definitely my favorite character. Her fight for independence was inspiring.I will be reading more from this author!

This book is massive! It is a commitment to read it. The world building is phenomenal. The characters are engaging and I found myself rooting for all of them. I have to say I wasn't sure about this book. In the end, I loved it! The only thing I can complain about is,there were too many points of view. It was hard keeping up. I am looking forward to reading the prequel. Read this book!

Rebeca / Rebecca | Daphne Du Maurier
Mehso-so

I have been interested in reading this book for a while. Unfortunately I am a little disappointed in it. I just felt that the author spent too much time in the description and not enough in the story.The ending almost made the book for me. But it fell just a little short. I don't know if I would read anything else by this author. If I was giving it a star rating, I would give it a 3 star rating.

I did not know what to expect. I have never read a graphic novel. I love it! What an amazing way to tell a story. I love the whole thing. I am officially a 52 year old reader of graphic novels! If you are like me and think you are too old to read graphic novels. Please give them a chance. . I am looking forward to reading the second book.

I liked this book. I enjoyed the dynamic between the main characters. I thought Michael and Stella were a very cute couple. I enjoy when there are some obstacles and insecurities to overcome. This makes the characters grow as a couple and as their own person. This book had that in spade. I will definitely continue reading this series.

I loved this book. I love the characters. The plot is great I really was surprised at the end. But most importantly is how funny these characters and the situations that they get into are! I am impatiently waiting for the 3rd book to come out.

I loved this book. It was funny and unpredictable. I loved the characters in this book. The murder mystery was intriguing. For the longest time I didn't know who murdered Harris! I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

Iron Widow | Xiran Jay Zhao

So this book was interesting... I feel like I am totally lost though. I have to admit that I don't know a lot about Asian mythology. This book seemed like a strange mix of mythology and science fiction! I will definitely read the sequel to find out what happens. But the book was not one of my favorites.

These Hollow Vows | Lexi Ryan

This was a very fun read. I really loved the character of Abriella.There were some parts that were predictable.However, the pacing was great and the story itself was very interesting. There were a couple of twists in the storyline.These definitely set it up so I wanted to know what happens next! I can't wait for the next book.

I will admit that I don't know a lot of Selma Blair's acting. The reason I picked up this book was because of her advocacy of MS. I really enjoyed getting to know the story of her childhood.I feel that it explains who she is and why she is that way. I am amazed at how strong and resilient this woman is. I really enjoyed her book and would read another book that she wrote.

A Shadow in the Ember | Jennifer L. Armentrout
Pickpick

I love this entire world that Jennifer Armentrout has written! The characters are very complex. My favorites are Ash and Sera.. I can picture the different realms in this wonderful story. This book took a long time for me to read.It was over 700 pages long! It was definitely worth the time. I cannot wait to read about these characters in the next book.

I knew that I would love this book from the first sentence. I have never read a book about the dust bowl.I wasn't sure if the subject would bore me. However, it turned out that I want to read more! The characters are amazing.I can't say to much or I will ruin the book. Read it, it is definitely worth it.

I will be honest with you. This is my first book about napoleon. I really enjoyed reading it. During the day I kept thinking about getting back to that story! I found the characters interesting. I even did some research on the characters and the art mentioned in the book. This book made me want to go and visit France. If you like historical books.. read this one!!

Big Summer: A Novel | Jennifer Weiner
Pickpick

I have never read this author before. So I was not sure if I would like this book. I loved this book! The main character Daphne is the most relatable character since Stephanie Plum. Being a “big woman“ myself I completely understand her inner dialogue.I loved the big twist in the middle of the book. My only complaint is I think it should be a series! Read this book!!

I was looking forward to reading this book.I was disappointed by how slow the book plodded on.I feel that the book started to pick up when we started to know more about Casey.That is when I began to root for her. I was so happy that I stuck with the book. The ending made all the time I spent reading this book worth it!!

I took such a long time to read this book. But I feel that it was because of the content. There were times that I I had to stop then come back to this book. The writing was that amazing! I also felt that I learned so much from this book. I honestly can say that everyone should read this book!

I loved this book! I was a little hesitant at first. I had just finished reading the Book Woman from Troublesome Creek. So it was a very similar setting and time to the book. However the characters really won me over.i couldn't tell you who was my favorite because I love all the librarians! I now want to visit Kentucky. if you always root for the underdog. This is the book for you. Bravo Jo Jo Moyes!!!

tpixie I loved them both. I‘m a little partial to 2y

I absolutely loved this book. I loved all the character's. I especially loved Cussie Mary.I don't want to give anything away. But I loved her independence and intelligence.

The Whisper Man | Alex North

I found this book enjoyable.But I found it a little long winded and sometimes confusing. I think it would have been better if it was a series instead of a stand alone book. I feel it delivered what I was expecting. It had a few twists that I didn't see coming. Overall I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a thiller.

Turn of the Key | Ruth Ware

I have read 3 of Ruth Ware's books. This is my favorite book of hers. Unlike other books of hers the timing was great. It really kept me on my toes, wondering who was the culprit. The twists at the end were amazing. I really enjoyed this book. I will definitely read another book of her's soon!

Golden in Death | J. D. Robb

I was so amazed by the fact that this book is the 50th in the series. I cannot believe that I have read every single one. Golden in death definitely did not disappoint. The villain in this book was very intriguing. I always love the interaction between all the characters..JD Robb has done it again. I cannot wait until the next book!

tpixie I‘m amazed I‘ve read practically all of these are well. I‘m 1-2 behind I think. 2y

I was really attracted to this book. It was so different from what I have been reading lately. This book did not let me down. I really enjoyed the layout. The characters were amazing and the story itself was great. The twist at the end made my day. I would tell anybody to read this book.

I love this series! This book series is probably the biggest reason that I love to read so much. I really connected with Anne then and now! I always go back and read the series when I get a chance. L M Montgomery was an amazing author. One day I am going to travel to Prince Edward island. I hope there are some kindred spirit's out there!
