LET ME JUST TELL YOU. I have been an avid fan of Gilmore Girls for as long as I can remember. I have watched the entire series from start to finish at least 3 times now. And this book. THIS BOOK. I feel MORE connected to the show than I have ever before. I feel more connected to the characters. I feel just... satisfied. But at the same time I need to know more.
I laughed. I cried. I felt inspired. If you are even the slightest fan of Gilmore Girls or Lauren Graham in general, READ. THIS. BOOK. It is vital.

Kristen Ashley is the best
I have read many books by Kristen Ashley and loved them all and complicated doesn’t disappoint from the very beginning this book had me hooked it contains lots of action and excitement keeping you glued to the book I couldn’t put it down didn’t want it to end and I am hoping that will be a beginning of a new series . So if you like a strong Alpha Male with a Strong sassy heroine with lots of action and adventure then this book is most definitely for you give it a try it won’t disappoint.

The second in a kid's mystery series that combines steampunk and Sherlock Holmes. Griffin and his uncle have raced home to see what has happened to his parents only to almost be killed as soon as they've arrived. Why? The answer lies back in London and may lead to the end of the world as we know it. I was enjoy this book despite some over writing until I hit the climax which was a cheap way to end things. Not a bad book, but a disappointing finish.

Mar 9, 2018
Evan and Bronwen are off to meet each other's family's. Their first stop is Mrs. Evans, and they stumble into a case with ties to Evan's family past. The man who killed Evan's father is arrest for another crime, only this time Evan thinks he's innocent. Can he prove it without alienating his mother? This book is missing much of the charm of the earlier ones in the series since the wonderful supporting players aren't in the book. A bit more serious, too.

Melanie D (1 KP) rated The Handmaid's Tale - Season 1 in TV
Jul 22, 2018
Phenomenally good adaptation
It's worth remembering, every time you're tempted to think "this could never happen", that Margaret Atwood didn't include anything in her book that hadn't already happened somewhere in the world. So yes, it can and did happen somewhere, and could and may happen again if we don't learn the lessons of history.
The book has been superbly dramatised and features a strong cast who bring the story to its full, horrific life. There are few things I would ever characterise as a must-watch, but this is definitely one of them. Either the series or the book should be compulsory texts for 16 year olds.

While this book had some certain tropes in it (hello love triangle) - and it definitely would have some trigger warnings, a few times I was shocked at what I read, not necessarily in a bad way - but some people may actually have issues with this book if they're super sensitive.
the whole suicide epidemic was quite an interesting story to read (granted that right there should trigger people - hey don't read this book) - the whole lobotomy after getting into the program was intense too - though wickedly fun to read about.
i'm very very curious to see where this series goes.....luckily I checked them all out from the library!

The attraction between Pim and Elder continues to grow and spiral.
In this book we learn a lot more about Elder which is just fantastic, however that comes with a price and that is the ending to this book. There was nothing wrong with it apart from it was not what I wanted to happen.
It is interesting to see Pim and Elder continue to fight with themselves as they try to decide what they want, how far they will go to get it, and ultimately what they are willing to sacrifice.
I am still loving this series and have already started book 4.

Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated Scars and silks 2 (The calvetti family #7) in Books
Jan 6, 2019
fab read
This is the second part in this set but the seventh part in this series by this authjor. These books need to be read in order to fully understand the story between the characters. This book is full of twists and turns, surprises, drama, lies, betrayal and loads of suspense. amazing well written characters just like the first book. This is a short read but the author has packed a lot into the pages. I can't wait to read more in this set and by this author in the future.
Highly recommended set
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

Deborah (162 KP) rated The Kiss (Widows Club, #2) in Books

Like the previous book in the series, this was OK, but not a particularly memorable book. Apart from the hero and heroine and Ata, most of the supporting cast are pretty underdeveloped. I don't feel the urge to pick up the next Widow's Club book because I don't know enough about the other characters to have the urge to read their story! The only one given some development is Grace, who to be honest comes over as a bit too perfect!
It seemed a bit too strung out - hero and heroine obviously love each other - will they just get on with it?!
Not one to keep, but not a bad read.

I didn't know anything about this series before I borrowed the first book from the library. I thought it was probably going to be pretty juvenile, and that I'd return it right away. However, I'm pleasantly surprised. While it is about children, the book is rated for older teens. It's funny, innocent, and cute, and then it quickly starts going in different directions that make it a bit dark, frustrating, a little creepy. The only real negative opinion that I have about it is that it seems to have a bit of a repetitive nature towards this volume's end. I'm looking forward to moving onto book two, though!
