Knitted Toys: 20 Cute and Colorful Projects by Jody Long is a book with cute knitted toy patterns. The book has instructions and images of the final project. I love the wide variety of toys to make. I'm not very good at knitting but I would like to try my best effort at making these adorable toys. There was a variety of toys from a fire engine, to several animals. The instructions are clear and straight forward.

I received this advanced readers copy from Dover Publications via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley and Chatterbox by HouseParty in exchange for my honest review. I was really disappointed in this book. It wasn't really a suspenseful mystery at all and it was really hard to follow. It started off slow - the flashbacks were very confusing, and by time things got interesting at university, everything started going downhill and getting more and more confusing. Too many interwoven stories forced to connect and byt the end it all fell flat. The end was a total cop out. Like she totally gave up. Not a fan. #RHMysteryPack #Sponsored

I liked this book need a teensy bit less than #9 but i can't really put my finger on why.

Sukey and Vicky see a suspicious man passing off an envelope and then he dies in a car crash that seems very suspicious.

A head found on the beach is connected and our friends s and V are on the case .

I don't know, this one just seemed a lot more slow going for me.

I like it a lot, though!

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

I really enjoyed the world-building in this one. The magical characters were fascinating.

The problem i had with it is that i could not connect with the main character, Olivia. She seemed very shallow and immature.

What's the deal with the slut-shaming?

It's possible that it could be an original story thing and the in the next book I'll like her more, though.

I really hope so because the action scenes and the world-building are really well done.

I thought this was a really cool take on the little mermaid story. I have no idea if that was intentional because this book is about sirens not mermaids but there are definitely parallels.

I really like Annie's family issues. They informed a lot of her character and explained a lot.

It was a bit slow at first but once it gets going it does not stop. This could easily be a stand alone but I'm really hoping for a sequel!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Having already devoured a Luke Chmilenko collaboration, I was greatly anticipating Savage Dominion by Luke Chmilenko and G.D. Penman. This book did not disappoint!!

From the very beginning, this book reads like the best RPG you have ever played. Three unlikely characters become travelling companions, and then almost friends as they take on challenges and quests together. We see them levelling up and learning new skills and abilities as they proceed on their journey.

Already looking forward to Savage Dominion: Wyrmshard!!
  
I received a copy of The Girl the Sea Gave back from Wednesday Books through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this book. It's the second in the series but I honestly didn't feel I missed anything by not reading the first one.

I loved the short flashback to Halvard and Tova's pasts.

I saw in some reviews that people thought there was too much romance but honestly I didn't get that at all.

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

I really enjoyed this one!

Marlee (the mc) becomes involved when the town eccentric wants to use berries for magical protection.

I really liked Marlee as a character. She's smart and quick-thinking.

She tries to help the woman she knows as Leticia and ends up discovering a corpse.

The townsfolk are fully realized. I really liked Theo, Tess, and Natasha.
