I read this book because it was an Indie Next pick for May and I wanted to mix it up with a memoir/nonfiction read. I was unfamiliar with the author’s podcast but I loved the idea of a bookseller’s book. I felt like Annie was relatable. I appreciated her perspective on church. Overall, I thought she had a clear voice that will resonate with some but maybe not work for others. I listened to the audiobook on Libby.

An exciting book full of action on every page. There are immersive mysteries, deep characters, and a world full of exploration. Brandon Sanderson does a great job of drawing you into the world that he's created and leads you to explore the expansive narrative and backstory of the book.

It was so interesting I could not but the book down read it 5 hours in a row

3.5 stars. This book kept popping up on my radar as an emotional romance that I ultimately listened to on audio via Libby. The strengths of this book are in FMC Nadia’s clear voice and the lupus representation. I struggled with the believability of Marco’s character. While I was interested in the time-limited romance of dating just for the month of May, the love story felt a bit too intense for the rather playful premise and came off as instalove at times.

i love how there's dragons and how there are people that can control them

So basically there is a girl named Wren who the dragonmancers want to feed to the dragons, but she escapes and finds a baby dragon, who she names Sky. There is also Ivy, who finds a dream visitor and see's Sunny twice. Then, there is a boy named Leaf and he thinks Wren is dead, so he wants to avenge her by killing dragons. But then he finds out that Wren is still alive, finds Rose, after Stone helps him escape from Ivy's village where the dragonslayer lives. Plus, the dragonslayer is Ivy's dad, and he has a lot of treasure so they take it and try to return it to the dragons.

A young pregnant woman finds her way walking home after Portland experiences "the big one". There is a dual time line. While she is making her way, she is mentally reviewing her life choice. Interesting book. Will definitely make you thing about your own preparedness. Kudos to the author for resisting the urge to tie up all the loose ends at the end of the book. (Tho, I wouldn't have minded if she did.)

Amazing series

It was a good and funny because when Petey drew himself, he put the bulletin board onto the paper. When he said, "Guard! Help! The bulletin board fell on me! and I got flattened!" it was funny. The guard came and he said, "NO, he got flat!" Petey was so sad and surprised, and escaped from jail. I thought it was a funny book and I can read it all the time.

Ali Cross by James Patterson is a very good mystery book. It has a wonderful and suspenseful plot that always made me want more
