It‘s not as amazing as When Dimple Met Rishi, but I‘m enjoying it. It‘s definitely a light and easy read in these crazy ass times.

Help me, littens! Which one should I read next? The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue, Six of Crows, or the Raven Boys? I'm really excited to read them all, but I'm torn on where to start. Help!

I really liked this Beauty and the Beast retelling. It's different than what I thought it would be, but in a good way. Beauty is a tough and brave hunter and the beast is half wolf and half man whose natures are internally battling over control. I give it 4 out of 5 stars. #beautyandthebeast #uppercasebox

"How nice for you." ? this book started a bit slow, but now I am about half way through and I'm really enjoying it.

Paperback.Propensity I started reading it today, but I put it down. I guess I am not in the mood for it just yet. 7y
xoKatie @Paperback.Propensity I get it. It definitely took me a few chapters to get into it. Once they introduced Solomir it started to pique my interest. Did you get to that part? (edited) 7y
Paperback.Propensity No, I didn't make it that far. Honestly I don't think I even got to page 20. I wasn't bored or anything, I just have to be in a particular mood for some genres. I didn't want to push through because I was afraid it would change how I felt about it if I forced it. 7y
xoKatie @Paperback.Propensity makes sense. I agree. If your not feeling it, why force it? Hopefully you'll enjoy it when you decide to read it. 7y
Paperback.Propensity I hope so. I do have a good feeling about it. Though I usually prefer urban fantasy. I got this one through Uppercase though, and I haven't hated any books they sent out. 7y

This was a quick, fun read. I liked the adventure and plot twists. I didn't love it, but I enjoyed it. If you're looking for a story of a heartless, badass female pirate on the search for treasure, you'll like this book too.

This was a fun read! The protagonist isn't my favorite character, but the plot is exciting. I could never guess what would happen next! It's unpredictability kept me hooked. I vote yes!

Mehso-so

Wow, this book was dark. It's about a girl who falls for a bounty hunter of souls. Which, okay I get it, sounds like a dark plot, but it was a bit much for me. The writing and storytelling were well done, but it was a super downer. I won't reveal anything, but I feel like the ending was not satisfying enough. I know he plans on making sequel so maybe that's why it feels a bit incomplete.

This was such a fun book. It's a coming of age story about a boy who hasn't come out yet and has a secret online relationship. Super cute!

I read this book aloud to my 5th and 6th graders. We laughed and cried together. It is a wonderful way to teach empathy and choosing kindness. And the Star Wars references are perfect. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it!
