4✨ Another great book in this series (Book 5). Anne and her husband share their first years as a married couple in this little house. They make new friends and receive letters from old ones. They experience a lot in these few years. I smiled deeply for them, I had to take a break at a few sad moments, and am encouraged to read this again as a cozy comfort.

SpeculativeFemale I will always remember how hard that one hit me when I first read the series as a kid. ❤️💔❤️ 11h

3✨ An interesting read of an immortal who is supposed to save the world from the dark. I think I couldn‘t get past an eleven year old being so wise after reading the book he was destined to read. While the story was entertaining. I personally feel a kid should be a kid and I felt he changed after reading the book. He also had moments where he had to act different. Yes, he is the last old one, but for 11 years he was someone else? #roll100

3✨ I can see why so many of you have enjoyed this book. We have a patriarch who ends up hospitalized and in a coma. His three children are very diverse where the daughter is taking care of the homestead, the older brother lives far away making his life, and the younger brother who is down on his luck and makes bad decisions. They have a family crematorium which adds to the action we see in the book, and a lot of secrets.

3✨ The second book in this series follows different characters while checking in with our previous vampire like couple. We learn more about the world and the people in it, but learn the more werewolf side of this world. I felt more steam punk in this one than the first. I think I liked it a bit mrore than the first book as well.

4✨ I was encouraged to read this one by @Littlewolf1 who knows my reading style pretty well. It was an action packed, hate to love, and an amazing strong female lead. I liked so much of this book, but I would have to say the banter between the MC‘s caused me to laugh loudly. While the intimate scenes made me blush. The overall story line and that ending made this book unique and enjoyable. Man I can‘t wait for the next one!

4✨ If you know anything about this book you know it‘s a hard read. I remember as a kid watching this movie as a “Friday Fiction Movie” my teacher (Dad) always put on classic literature movies every Friday. This one was so memorable that I wasn‘t able to read it until now. The hurt that we feel for this young man who worked hard for his dogs, cherished his dogs, and was saved more ways than one is timeless.

Last day in a 4 day weekend. I‘ve been a busy bee detail cleaning everything. Today‘s mission the fish tank in my new reading nook, the kids rooms (giving away and throwing away), and the front bathroom. If I have time in the middle there putting away the laundry and the back bathroom. Reading the audio tagged and I have the next Anne of green gables book ready to go.

4✨ I was not a fan of how this started, but after it built up some background it was non-stop excitement! The world creates its own version of human, vampires, and zombies (young vampires). Poppy is a maiden that could help the people that raised her. She is a strong and emotional character that goes through a lot! When people around her start dying she ends up being guarded by the handsome young guard she‘s secretly had her eye on. #HTBookClub

3✨ I liked that this had real danger, and I learned a bit about different types of bells. I felt that shaming Bess was more obvious in this one, but she was also a hero when another character was in trouble. Ned is suddenly back from Africa and jumping in to help like the koolaid man. 🤣 Overall, solid Nancy mystery. #NancyDrewBR @Librarybelle

3✨ The second book in the series gives a lot more background as you read. It does some flashbacks. I‘m not a fan of flashbacks, and even less a fan of love triangles so not completely my cup of tea. I liked the writing, the emotion, and the world is a fun concept.

5✨ I could not put this down! It was amazingly suspenseful, and really creepy. I figured out some of what was going on, but not right away. Being a rotational resident learning the different specialties is hard enough, but being in the psychiatric wing at night is definitely not what I would call an easy shift to cover. Especially, when one of the patients is deemed to be extremely dangerous. Even the patients are worried.

4✨ Reading the last book in this series I‘m reflecting over a whole picture. In this book it goes through three sisters and their different experiences until they joined each other. Obviously, this is a heart wrenching series of an unprecedented time. I‘m so thankful for the research and interviews with real people so we have it documented.

Enjoying this snack while finishing the tagged. I learned this from friends at my first job. It might be a Hispanic culture thing, but they always got excited at the bottom of the bag of chips (sometimes breaking them down more) and covering it in lemon juice and their hot sauce of choice. I find I get excited now and have even shared the tradition with my kids. 🥰💛

3✨ Danielle‘s cousin comes to town in order to seemingly make her life miserable. They don‘t get along, and Danielle thinks she is there to take away half the inheritance from their grandmother even though the will was clear, the mind of their grandmother may not have been. Walt is still present in this book and there is a lot of funny moments. I‘m really enjoying this series.

3✨ This was a cute romance, and sisterly love book. I laughed at Phoebe‘s clumsy ways, and cringed at interactions between other characters. While her sister was not with her through a lot of the book, it made it more interesting with the interactions she made with three other characters. When the sisters were together it‘s the type of relationship all sisters should have with love and acceptance. #LittensLoveRomance

3✨ This is not something I would have picked up for myself. I struggled with the teen pregnancy and the girls were cared for, but not well. One character was so young and her story was difficult to read. The imagery in certain scenes was graphic and hard to get through. I felt like I was closing my eyes for a scary scene in a movie, but peaking through my fingers to actually read that scene. As a mom this hit me really hard. #FableBR

3✨ This was not my favorite book in the series. For one I like Chaol and Dorian as a team with Celeana. They don‘t have to be romantic interests just helping each other. Now there was growth in the characters, and Dorian finds a healer that he might be able to trust. The ending had me crying, angry that they killed a character that I liked, and excited for the next book. Major mixed feelings, but excited to see what happens next!

LiseWorks I totally agree, I was so upset at the death. But this might motivate them to take action. On to the next book 2mo

5✨ Telling you why this is a high pick for me would give away the ending! So instead I enjoyed this one slowly. It had two POVs one being a guilt ridden boyfriend of a missing girl, the other a girl that lost her memory. While we follow his effort to find his missing girlfriend we also follow her path to remembering herself again. The ending! I thought I knew what was happening, but Lally surprised me big time! #HTBookClub

3✨ Trigger warnings for suicide and bullying. Marjorie is back with Wendell and we meet Mr Duncan‘s daughter. She doesn‘t really fit in with the popular crowd that Marjorie is hanging out with. She is interested in photography and ghosts. Marjorie befriends her, but only when the popular kids aren‘t around. This was deeply emotional and can show how you can help someone facing deep depression by the end.

3✨ This is a chunkster of a book that goes over a lot. We have a few main characters throughout as one little girl grows up. Did I follow along the whole time? No. I was interested in the people and how they grew, but there was quite a bit of battles that just didn‘t interest me.

3✨ The second book made me laugh just as much as the first. Especially, when Kingsley the frog is in the scene. We get more backstory of the villain, Kingsley and others throughout. The villain seems to be losing or having trouble using his magic. Sage and the villain not admitting they like each other even though it‘s obvious was a little much, but overall I really enjoyed it.
