Summer Reading Celebration

Very compelling. I liked the will they won't they element and the questioning of truth. The book felt much shorter than anticipated. I easily got through half in my first sitting. What a great book to end pride on. Although I did guess the twist pretty early on it didn't really ruin it for me.

I love this series and I love this book!! Reread!

I loved this book. Set during WWII in London during the year of the Blitz, this book shares so much more than a ring side seat to the Blitz. This was a fresh take on telling the story of the Blitz. Two friends are forced to set off for London when one is ousted from her place of rest (unfairly). In London they stay with the best friend of the ousted girls deceased mother, Mrs. Weatherford. Mrs. Weatherford is a kind soul and she gets Grace a temporary job in a bookstore with a cratchedy owner. Grace is great in business, but she isn't a reader. Enter a patron who introduces her to reading just before he goes off to eat. Grace falls in love with reading and the bookshop turns around under her able hand, as does the owner. But then begins the Blitz, and we follow this bookshop and the others in London throughout that harrowing experience.

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!!

This was a very insightful book focused on the QAnon cult and how/why people are susceptible to believing conspiracy theories. The author follows a number of individuals and their loved ones, documenting the destruction of the American family by those who've bought into QAnon and it's insane conspiracy theories.

That was really good and quite digestible for a fantasy

Great story about a gay romance and international intrigue.

I enjoyed this book! I found the information about tardigrades amd bar-headed goose to be the most interesting animals highlight in the book. Tardigrades could be, for all intents and purposes, be dead. Add some water amd tada alive again. Crazy! Then, bar-headed geese not only fly over Mount Everest but thrive in one of the harshest environments in the wprld with little to no oxygen. The book also described some of the harshest environments including animals that thrive in deserts, Arctic Circle and even the bottom of our oceans. Alex Riley narrated the book and I enjoyed his British accent and his nerd jokes like 42, the answer to Life, the Universe and Everything. If ypu enjoy learning new things about animals and harsh environments, read this one!

Loved the lecture at CHQ and loved the Bones vibes

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!
