pan2✨ Let me start with the good. The afterword really brought what the author was going for to light. I think this was a beautiful imagining of the strong minds of women who had to face slavery while they were pregnant. Now with that said much of the story was confusing. Creating a world very unique in only a handful of pages was the main issue. I felt lost and questioned a lot. I‘m glad I read the afterword, but would have appreciated this sooner.
pick4✨ What an interesting mystery! We start by going three years in the past to learn a little bit about our victim, and then we meet our MC who is a TV producer looking into the murder from the Met Gala. Was it the fiancé, or maybe one of her family members? With no arrests our MC has a lot of digging to do. That ending was really suspenseful! ? Now I‘m going to need to read the rest of the series.
I couldn‘t resist this when I got the email that it was the Barnes and Noble pick for the month. I already added it to my TBR, but when I saw the purple edges. 😍
so-so3✨ This was a fun read. We have Nancy looking into a missing twin who happens to have the other half of a treasure map provided by their father before he died. This was is not without Nancy getting in danger, but this time the villain(s) of the story seemed smarter and sometimes one step ahead of Nancy. #NDBuddyRead
so-so3 ✨ First I love how this story ended up playing out. There were many surprises that kept me guessing. However, the main plot was pretty predictable. Not that it was a bad thing because that is how I wanted it to play out. I liked the we got Apollo‘s POV as well this time. After all he has been asleep or “dead” for a lot of the series. Overall, I enjoyed the series. #SeriesLove 🥰
My kids got a Lisa Frank sticker book. I‘m in love with my June bingo sticker selections. 🥰😍🤩
bailedI got 11% through this and there were some funny jokes, but most of the time I just didn‘t find the jokes funny. It‘s time to unhaul this book.
I have a lot moving over to June, but I have high hopes for good numbers in June. Plus I caught up reading all the series I was reading with my #HTBookClub 😍
Yeah… I know I read them, but I didn‘t have them. 😅🤣
pick4✨ A very quick read with a cozy autumn feel. There is a young ghost so there is a sad back story. A struggling family trying to keep their business, and naturally a guy trying to take that business from them. I really enjoyed this cute story. It is more of a kids graphic novel so it was easy to predict what would happen. @Littlewolf1
pick5✨ I could not put this down! I‘m glad that Asher dropped everything to know his daughter. It might not have been in the plans for him, but after getting to know each other he wouldn‘t have had it any other way. Iris was in a bad spot and helping the new father as a nanny helped her too. I loved how not only the relationship between father and daughter developed, but the love story as well. #SeriesLove
When your nephew needs help with a spare for their tire 45 minutes out of town. You throw on your next interesting read. 😬🥰
pan2✨ I wouldn‘t say this book is bad, but I was expecting more. It was a nice cozy read with a bit of a mystery. It seemed to repeat itself a lot, especially in when Lydia should tell her daughter the truth about her dad. I really enjoyed the atmosphere this book provided of small town life close to the ocean. #ReadYourKindle
pan2✨ Okay, my four year old is telling me that she liked how they shared the orange in the end, but from tree to store did not win her over. I liked the farm to table knowledge a kid can gain from this picture book while the writing was simple, yet poetic. I would give it a 3✨
so-so3✨This was an interesting and quick read about a family and their farm. This part of American history is hard because Native born people had their lands taken from them. Yet, they are portrayed as the bad guys and when our young MC‘s mother is struck from behind a young boy defends his family with a gun his father had never even fired. #Roll100 @PuddleJumper
so-so3✨ I had a fun time reading this, but wouldn‘t say it was all new material. However, I feel like I‘ve over OZed myself lately so that may be all it is. Ive always been a fan of stories about a villain origin story, but I feel like I may have read some or parts of this one in Wicked.
Update on my daughter‘s shopping cart! I‘m glad I sent the email. 😍🥰💛
Hello Everyone,
@Littlewolf1 and I are trying to look for more interest in our Horror Reads Fable Book Group. If you are interested in reading more horror titles with a group please follow this link: https://fable.co/club/roaringwolf-fright-night-with-roary47-202125311454 I‘m putting up a new poll for June. 👻🧟♀️🧙♀️🐺 @LitsyEvents
My latest book haul. I love that I got the whole current set of Sparrow Falls and they all have colored edges. 🥰😍💛
pan2✨ I wasn‘t a huge fan of this one. It has good depth and a lot of hard topics, but for me it didn‘t flow and I felt lost. There were pictures that were a little too much as well. With that said it wasn‘t bad. The growth in this story is one you want to hear based on what happens in the beginning. It just wasn‘t for me.
so-so3✨ Cute and fantasy did deliver, and I found myself really liking the world built by the author. The issues I had with it was 10 years past, but they felt like teens. It was also spicier than I personally like, and the romances felt very YA. While it did bring a lot of fun elements to the table the ending I appreciated, but also felt like everything the characters went through didn‘t matter anymore. #HTBookClub
Listening to my HT Bookclub book and enjoying my birds. I have way too many roosters, but man are they handsome. 🥰🐓💛
My daughter brought this cart to get her books at the library and carry them herself. I didn‘t see a problem with it since she is 4 and can‘t carry the books herself while I‘m dealing with her really squirrely brother. As we were leaving the librarian I know personally stated we couldn‘t bring it to the library. Was it because the wheel was a little squeaky, because he knows me, or it‘s actually not allowed at the library?
so-so3✨My son loves to listen to the story and then gets excited about the pictures each time. The treehouse is back and they need to look for some things for Morgan to help her.
pick5✨This book nearly broke me,and then gave me some hope. The ending… so amazing! I originally thought this was a trilogy and am so happy to see that I get to continue reading! 🤩 #SeriesLove @Andrew65 @TheSpineView #DogsofLitsy “Monica” @Littlewolf1
Let‘s catch up on some reading shall we? 🥰 #JumpStartSummer @TheSpineView My goal is to read: My Book Club Book, catch up on my Les Mes chapters, catch up on the count of monte cristo, read my Nancy Drew book, and catch up on Way of the kings. It‘s a lot, but can hopefully make it happen.
This was a long, long school year. I made it! I can read and be on Litsy more again. Well, at least after graduation tomorrow, and summer school in a week. I ended up with only 3 students not passing. That is my all time record out of 148 students! I‘ll take it!
This book is cutting deep… I literally don‘t want to continue I‘m hurting too bad from that loss. 💔
so-so3✨ I personally feel this was an overhype. I also recognize that I read this after a master world builder so I was being over judgy. However, there is a lot going on and quite a bit of characters. The storyline was interesting, but I felt I wasn‘t understanding the finer points being made. I really enjoyed the big reveals near the end and am interested to continue reading. I just expected more with all the drama this book caused. 😅
pick4✨ I read this a while ago, but never got to review it. The world building of breath, color, and gods was beautifully written. Vivenna was not my favorite, but I appreciate an outside look at what was happening in the castle. The god king and Siri was my favorite POV and I was rooting for them the whole time. Lightsong brought a lot of humor to the book, and the ending for him was unexpected, but much appreciated!
bailedI haven‘t really been into this book for a while. I struggled with the last one, and I just don‘t care about the characters anymore.
My favorite Mother‘s Day gift this year made by my 4 year old at her preschool. 🥰 I hope all the mothers of all walks had a relaxing and loved day. 💛
so-so3✨ I always struggle when there is a lot of characters and time jumping. This book had both, and for the most part I think I followed along. The biggest struggle was his current wife and fifth wife had similar names. Plus situations that happened 8 years ago seemed to be happening again. There was a lot going on with all of the characters, but I really enjoyed the ride.
pick4✨ The war parts of this were not as interesting, but some big truths are revealed, and the cliffhanger at the end makes me glad I got the next book ready to go! #SeriesLove @Andrew65 @TheSpineView
so-so3✨There was a lot of mini stories in here, and a large bird presence as they are the ones helping to deliver the letters. I really liked how Dr Dolittle helps to create a written language for the animals so they can communicate through mail. With that I finished the first Volume! 😍 #DolittleDiscussion
so-so3✨A pirate adventure where we finally get to know who the M person is.
pick4.5✨This was such a warm and sweet graphic novel. It left me feeling relaxed and inspired. I felt it was too short and could have had more depth. I‘m interested to see what the next book has to offer. @Littlewolf1
The secret history is still in the lead for my worst book of the year.
My best April book knocked out some really good books in the battle for my best book of the year. 🤩
so-so3✨This had an interesting transition from continuing from the first book to the cliffhanger for the next book. It continued to bring up the archer and the Fox consistently along with other concepts that were over used. The story itself became really interesting and I‘m not sure I completely understand the wish that may or may not have been made. The time jumping gets me confused everytime! The ending! Where‘s the next book! 🤣
so-so3✨I really appreciated how different this was from other vampire stories. It was more zombie like which I loved. There was quite a bit of back in forth in the timeline, which I always struggle with. There was one character I absolutely didn‘t like, and others that I just didn‘t remember. Overall, it had a good storyline and characters that matured (for the most part). #HTBookClub
I took the dust jacket off the tagged so you can appreciate the edges and ribbon bookmark. 🥰😍 My April Book Haul! 💛
so-so3✨ I thought this was pretty interesting that Nancy was helping to solve coded messages. She has close encounters with dangerous wild animals, and tear gas. Then her boyfriend‘s mom is trying to convince her to talk to her dad about buying the house next door to them. 🤣 #NancyDrewBR @Librarybelle
so-so3✨ A great early reader chapter book that teaches a bit about ancient Egyptian customs. They even solve a puzzle to help the queen whose eye sight is hindering her from going to the afterlife. Read to my son for bedtimes. #SeriesLove
so-so3✨Still struggling with all the POVs and characters, but a little easier to follow along this time. I‘m not sure I comprehended everything that was going on, but I really like Skedi and Inara. We learn more about her in this book. There is a lot more power seen by some of the characters, and Kissen still really strong and awesome! #HTBookClub #SeriesLove
