<i>I received an ARC from the publisher through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review</i>

This was a fast paced and very thought-provoking read. It was believable, dark, intense and mirrors numerous true life events. I highly recommend this book to those that are interested in family dramas that are gripping and well constructed.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I really liked this one! It has a great diverse caste of characters and a believable mostly likable protagonist.
It was totally understandable that Danny was upset about the broken promise.

I really liked the houseguests and the ghost story.

I received a copy of Ricochet from Flux through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this book! The implications are fascinating and I kind of wish there was more to the story. Discovering more of the multiverse and such.

I really liked the characters and their different backgrounds due to random changes in circumstances.

I received a copy.ofThe Red Labyrinth from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

This book was brilliant! I really loved Zadie and her struggled of being a personal non grata in a society that values powers over anything.

Ugh, the Nadine story was absolutely heartbreaking and the stuff in the labyrinth was horrifying!

A wonderfully absurd take on Wonderland.

Alice is scheduled to be lobotomized after being institutionalized for talking about her adventures in Wonderland.

The White Rabbit rescues her and the adventure starts as Alice is tasked with killing the Queen of Hearts.

Reporter Mitch Malone stumbles on an accident scene just after the crash. He's excited about the scoop for the paper, but something about it doesn't seem right to him, and he keeps investigating. What will he turn up? It took me a little while to warm up to Mitch, but once I did, I found myself lost in the book. I was sent the book in exchange for an honest review.

I am Bat by Morag Hood is a simple picture book. There are many things children will enjoy about it. The main character, Bat, is grumpy and selfish with his food, but he is adorable.The illustrations are cute and the reader ends up liking this grumpy little bat. The drawings are simple, but are done well. The book touches on fruit, colors, feelings, and hints at friends.

I give this story 4/5 stars.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

This but book was a lot of fun and a breeze to read.

I hadn't read the first one and it jumps straight into the action but there's some pretty decent exposition to help along.

I really liked the fact that it was told from three points of view.

I think Ty's story was my favorite but I adored Maggie's comic book love.

And hooray for strong friendships between women!
  
Level the Playing Field: The Past, Present, and Future of Women's Pro Sports by Kristina Rutherford is a book that will inspire young athletes. It is a great book that contains information for all young athletes, male and female. It is a book that encourages an equal playing field for males and females.

This is a great look at the known and little-known names in women’s sports. With one-page interviews, historical glimpses and impassioned text this book is a must have for women of any age who have athletic dreams or just want to read about inspirational players.
