Summer Reading Celebration

Better than the Shippers in my opinion but the lack of a trigger warning really really really bothers me. I think that's what really bothered me about the Shippers, the fact there is absolutely no warning before assault on the page. TW: body dysphoria, disordered eating, cyberbullying including death threats, body shaming etc. Honestly I think having it being such a big part of the book and her character, its really damaging to not advise the reader especially with how young and uninformed romance skews right now.

This book was great! I really loved the entire trilogy.

Another read with my grandson. The super heroes are characters from the Bible. Each story includes a description of the characteristic that makes them heroic and how you can practice that characteristic and a Bible verse.

Outlander fans will not be disappointed!! The latest installment in the series is as good as the rest.... the new characters are fully fleshed out and we fall in love again with the characters we've known for so long. I highly recommend this!!

Pleasant read of historical fiction set in Ireland in the 1920's during the Irish war for independence from England. The story involves the daughter of the English overseer who has been sent to the area to keep things in check. In an unprecedented move, her father allies her to apprentice at an Irish owned jewelry shop. The owners son is dead st against it because of who she is. While the story feels predictable, the history is well researched. The writing lacks the depth of best sellers, but it was a pleasant enough read.

It was ok, I understand the time period and context. I just didn't enjoy the ending.

Heart of Darkness was a fantastic read. It told of a thrilling adventure and depicted the main character, Marlow, as brave, but not faultless. The story had many ups and downs, I never knew what was going to happen next!

I loved the movie. Read the book. Loved the book. Separately though. Is my brain fully formed?

4.75 maybe 5 Really gripping and mysterious. I loved unfolding the mystery. Very good.

Daine is on her way to Cathak with the delegation for peace between Tortall and Carthak. In this third installment of The Immortals Quartet, Daine is summoned to the Emperor's home to heal his sick birds but the gods have other plans for her. Numair, Alanna the Kings Champion and Kit are back for another thrilling adventure filled with treachery, new animals and gods aplenty. Will Daine survive her encounter with the gods and a emperor bent on making the world bend the knee to him alone? I love these characters, especially Daine, Numair, Alanna and so many others! A great series and one of my favorite cover art!
