Nicole Hadley (380 KP) rated City Fun in Books
Jun 16, 2018
City Fun by Margaret Hillert is a book with bright illustrations that are colorful, and show diversity. In this book, two friends have a day in the city. Some of the activities are they go to the park, the library, ride a bus, and watch some construction. The illustrations are bright and colorful. The story has limited words, the illustrations in itself tell a story. I believe that children will enjoy pointing to objects in the picture, and talking about the story beyond the word as they learn to read. These books would be a great addition to a home and class library for young children who are learning to read.
The Learning to Read series is easy to read. The series uses site vocabulary that is printed in the back of the book. The book captures the imaginations of beginning readers and help them on their way to independent reading. The books can be read aloud to young children or the children can read the books themselves.

I just finished this book and all I can do is wish that I was still reading it. Katherine Arden is a masterful story weaver. I was completely lost in this world. I loved it and truly wish that I was still in this world that Katherine Arden wove.
I had doubts that this book could match the first in the series and I was wrong. It is just a beautiful and just as powerful. I cannot even imagine picking up another fantasy in the next few weeks simply because this book has created a world that I do not wish to leave.
The characters are the same characters that we all found and loved in "The Bear and the Nightingale" but they have matured and shown great growth. The plot was unique and it engulfs you in flames. It really is beautiful.
If you're a fan of Juliet Marillier's Sevenwaters series this will be an enchanting read for you. It has the beautiful characters and world that you are accustomed to.
*I received this book in exchange for an honest review.

Yet another fabulous book in the Game series!! I love everything BJ Harvey writes and Abi and Cade's story sucked me in from page one. These two were beyond perfect together and I loved every moment of their journey. Dr. Caden Carsen III has grown up in a family with money, his father in politics and his mother the perfect Stepford Wife... yet he wants none of it and is determined to be his own man. When his parents decide to start stepping in with woman to put on his arm he decides to take matters into his own hands and ask Abi, a one-night stand from 10 months ago, to be his pretend girlfriend.... These two go in expecting so much less and end up with so much more.... This book was a trip to read as both Abi and Cade are such incredible characters and the banter between the two of them is off the charts adorable, not to mention I laughed my a$$ off throughout most of the book!? HIGHLY recommended author, book & series!!!

4.5 stars
Despite what happened to Rowe in the last book i think this is the most I've laughed/smiled at a book in this series. The tequila scene with Snow, the bit at the end with the code names just to name a few. But at the same time, i think it was hard for the authors to write something that was going to make us fall in love with this couple like we--well I--did with the previous two simply because we got to know Rowe's wife for a while and to lose her like he did was hard. But i am glad he found love again.
The other main plot to this series. Jagger. That was a bit of a shocker at the end of this and i cannot wait for our boys to kick his head in. Seriously, what an arse he is. Criminal underworld boss extraordinaire. While Ian and the cop are falling in love in the next book i want them plotting a big ruse to ruin him!
Can't wait for book 4!

Tracy (238 KP) rated Midnight Sun (Twilight, #5) in Books

Edward is darker than he’s portrayed in the 1st book. (1 more)
Stephanie Meyer is a much better writer than when she first started. I’d say that this is well written.
Edward is a prude (7 more)
I can’t tell if my boredom with the book was because I’ve moved on from this story emotionally, or if I just didn’t find Edward’s version of things compelling enough to care.
I almost dnf’ed it.
Wtf with that ugly cover?! I know why they used a pomegranate (it’s explained in the book) but it’s a bad choice IMO.
This book came too late. If this had come out at the height of the series popularity, I think I would have loved it. But it’s been what, 15 years?
It’s ridiculous that Edward is such a whiny, brooding virgin. His self righteousness about it is a huge turn off. What a d-bag
Can Rosalie just be written out of the series or something? Let her get eaten by a bear
I don’t love these characters anymore.
It turns out Edward is more boring and clingy than Bella
Merissa (12911 KP) rated My Safe Haven (Lyrics of Love #12) in Books
Oct 23, 2020
My Safe Haven is the 12th and final book in the Lyrics of Love series and finally, FINALLY, Jace finds his girl. Unfortunately for him, Jenna is a bit more skittish about being with him than he would like but she does have her reasons. Reasons which come out with time throughout the book and are heart-breaking.
This was a great story with a gentle, hot, and supportive main male and a feisty but slightly broken main female. I loved how Jace didn't rush her in any way and let her make her own mind up. She is running for good reasons but will she learn to run to Jace?
This was a great finale to the series, with plenty of cameos from previous couples. A feel-good story to end on which I have no hesitation in recommending.

Merissa (12911 KP) rated Jade (Men of S.O.C. #2) in Books
Apr 11, 2023
Jade is the second book in the Special Operations Command series and follows the men as they work in the 'private sector' and get to pick and choose their jobs. Whilst still worthwhile, some of them, Jade included, miss the more high-risk jobs so when they get the chance to bring down a drugs ring with Cuba connections, they jump at the chance. Of course, things don't run smoothly and they find that Allie, Jaxon's sister, is up to her neck in trouble with a dodgy DA blackmailing her.
This is a high-impact, full-on action book and will leave you breathless. The wit and banter between Allie, Jade, and Jaxon are funny to read, with the relationship between siblings absolutely perfect. A brilliant continuation of the series and I look forward to reading more. Recommended.

Karla Dee (6 KP) rated Little Thieves in Books
Nov 19, 2021
I am a fan of the cover because the bone skull and the little Sailor Moon symbol at the top. Also the intro or dedication to the gremlin girls was inspiring and I hope it encourages all the young girly readers to continue breaking the glass ceilings with bricks or whatevs else they can get their hands on. There are trigger warnings at the beginning of the book warning the reader about the content in her reading which included child abuse and assault.
This read is a grimm retelling story and is very dark and magical. The author, Margaret Owen, based this book on the "The Goose Girl" which I have never heard of or read. This retelling is also a series so there is another book after this one which is the first of the series. I'd also categorize this retelling as LGBTQ+ which I love. I have no idea what Goose Girl is about but the idea of there being a more woke version is AMAZING to me <3<3<3 Bring on the next book please!
