ClareR (5864 KP) rated The Heart's Invisible Furies in Books
Nov 15, 2017
My favourite book this year!!
Another book that deserves more than 5 stars. I loved this - a book that I thought about constantly, even when I wasn't reading it. The story of Cyril Avery's life, from the moment his mother is ejected from the village church and the village itself, up until near his death. An absolutely wonderful story. I laughed (a lot), I cried.
Highly recommended!!!

This is a fantastic app for book readers. I love being able open Goodreads when i am at the library and find out what books I have on my to read list. I sometimes have an issue where if i mark a book at read without marking at currently reading first then it doesn't register as read, therefore it won't add to my total of books read.
Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Hal (The Duellist #1) in Books

I absolutely loved the plot and flow of this story. The character of Hal was well developed and pretty much what I wanted to be like in my younger days.(Yes, I dreamed of sword fights. I was a weird kid.) There was a certain amout of predictablility to some aspects of the story but it took nothing away. I will be reading the second book (Hannac).

I really enjoyed how ronnie helps keith.. i loved how keith didnt figure it out until later and that he was surprisingly ok with it all. I did figure it out a lot earlier which isn't unusual. It was a very cute, sweet and romantic story with some very sexy scenes and fun characters. I am so glad I got to review it because it was adorable.
Melinda McGuire Abel (1 KP) rated Scythe (Arc of a Scythe #1) in Books

I am not a big reader of dystopia novels, science fiction or fantasy. I am unsure where this goes, but I don't care. This has to be one of my favorite books of 2018. Neal Schusterman does a great job of developing the story, but also the characters. I would highly recommend this story to others. I can't wait to read the second book in the series.

I enjoyed reading other books by this author but this one felt like the book started in the middle of a story without a lot of needed backstory. I knew the characters from previous books but I didn't read the one just before this.
The mystery was enjoyable but I would have enjoyed it more if I had read the book just before this one.

Erika (17789 KP) rated Guns, Germs and Steel in Books

As a history nerd, with a degree in history, I can't believe I waited until now to read this book. I think it was deemed 'too new' when I was in high school/college to be included in the curriculum.
The book obviously is about guns, germs, and steel, and compares/contrasts civilizations throughout the world. It was an interesting angle, and I really liked it.
