EVERY TIME I GET IT I LOVE IT

My favorite part of this romantasy is the angsty relationship between Odessa and the Guardian. This book is filled with terrifying magical creatures, a mysterious rage-inducing sickness, blood oaths, betrayal and secrets. I loved the first 75% and then once the romance storyline transitioned, it lost a bit of steam but the action of the book soared in the final chapters (A blood bath! Big reveals! Cliffhangers!). I really enjoyed the narration though some of Samantha Brentmoor’s male voices blended together. I listened to the audiobook on Libby and am already looking forward to the next in the series.

This book brings Jack and Annie to Australia. They obtain the final gift they need to help the dog Teddy and finish their four-part quest. We learned about kangaroos and there was a scary wildfire.

In keeping with the-looking-at-a-familiar-story through a different lens, this offering to the genre does not disappoint. It is not always a pleasant read, but definitely a good one.

Not one of his best…started off strong but then got too confusing!

Like the gospels but worse. Supposedly his masterpiece too bad his masterpiece is garbage. One star though because under the dust jacket is a beautiful cover with gold embossing and text is done with a letterpress.

“The Cartoonists Club: a graphic novel by Raina Telgemeier is Easily one of my favorite books I’ve read all year! It’s some of Raina’s best work and I STRONGLY RECOMMEND it!

i enjoyed reading this book and watching the movie

An unexpected ginseng page turner, I especially enjoyed hearing about american ginseng and the stories of those who grow it as I genuinely had no idea the US was a big producer of ginseng let alone that we had a native species of it--what a hole in my knowledge! Craig Thompson has been consistently making good stuff since Blankets and I can certainly say this is not a subject I thought he'd be tackling but it's a good one.

I liked it a lot because I like cupcakes and I like the characters in the book and what they did. And I like what the story was about.
