I read this as an ARC, you can find my review here.
I love the Dog Man books, and I love reading them with my children. This one was particularly sweet. I loved the storyline with Petey and Lil’ Petey. I love watching Pilkey’s characters grow. And I love all the puns in the books.
This one was pretty difficult to get through, which makes me sad because I loved her other books. The characters just felt thin, and the writing felt more like summarizing events, which really took me out of the story. I never felt invested. There were some great parts, and I wanted more of those, but it’s not what I got.
Wow. I love Sleepless in Seattle. I loved this book. Aidan and Lucie were so cute together. I also loved all of the secondary characters. Lucie’s family was so cute. The book had all my favorite tropes, the writing was great – the characters were real. There’s nothing I didn’t love about this book!
I enjoyed this book way more than I thought I would. The book was full of science and suspense. It was so different from the movie that I was able to enjoy it. The book was well written and all I wanted to do was read it. Couldn’t put it down! Loved it!
I had a lot of expectations about this one, and was pretty let down. The older books feel a lot deeper than this one – and were much better written. This one’s plot felt thin, and the whole thing felt rushed.
I absolutely adore friends to lovers books. And I love romances that don’t drag out the third act “break-up.” This book hit all the necessary spots. The set up for the rest of the series was also great. I loved all the characters and the town. I loved Stella and Luka together, but it was fairly obvious they were in love from the start. However, that didn’t detract from the story at all.
This was really cute, and made me want to go to Scotland, however, it took me too long to read it. I found Addie really hard to relate to. She was not the most likeable character. It took too long for her to thaw out. Logan, on the other hadn, was great, I really liked him. The premise was okay.
I honestly don’t know what I just read. It was half a straight up scene by scene retelling of Gatsby, but then there were a lot of weird half magic things happening. It took me longer than it should have to identify the supernatural elements and I ended the book not really understanding the ending.
This book was a very timely read. With the way our country is heading it’s always encouraging to read about the people who fought back. I liked the way the story was told, and the whole thing made me quite emotional. I did a deep dive Ancestry/Find a Grave on the family, that’s how invested I was.
This was a very fun way to learn about Lafayette during the 200th Anniversary of his farewell tour. This book was hilarious. I was very happy when the ISDAR book club gave us choices about what to read. I wasn’t thinking I would be interested in him, but this book has definitely piqued that interest.
