Debbiereadsbook (1310 KP) rated Shifter Woods: Growl (Esposito County Shifters #3) in Books
Jan 18, 2023
its only short but packs quite the punch!
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.
This is a short, slotting into the series after book 3, I think. (I'm a little puzzled by the listings on some sites about the order!) I've not read those, and I'll come back to that shortly. I didn't think I missed anything by not reading them, though, and so I would say this can be read as a stand alone.
I liked this, a lot. It gives you an insight into Esposito County, and the people who live in it.
It;s steamy and smexy. It's dark and dangerous. It's only short but packs a punch! I loved the twist with the magic spell that was shielding Marco, and what that was doing just a tad too well!
Going back to not reading the other books. I didn't feel I missed anything, and you know I'm all about sharing my book feelings, but what I am left with is a NEED to read those books. Not because I missed anything, but because I want to read everyone else's story!
So, my KU shelf needs clearing for those books 🙂

Impressed by DI Helen Grace
While it's difficult to follow the back story haven't read the previous five books, the story in itself set at a women's prison was fascinating and Arlidge has done a marvellous job of writing a female character. There are two simultaneous stories about serial killing throughout and while one of them makes sense, the other definitely doesn't and requires following the series. I enjoyed it nevertheless.
Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Safe Haven (Life After War, #3) in Books

In the third books of the [Life After War] series we learn more about Adrian's creation [Safe Haven]. They are beginning to prepare for a fight with the Mexican slavers but they have to deal with internal conflicts as well caused by Kenn's controlling nature.
The characters continue to drive the story and the way they interact keeps the plot interesting. I am looking forward to reading book 4, [Adrian's Eagles].

Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Survivors (The Coming Collapse) in Books
Jan 12, 2018
I really have enjoyed both books by [James Wesley Rawles] that I have read. [Survivors] describes people trying to survive and take care of those they care about after an economic collapse. Sadly this is a very conceivable idea. All the main characters were of strong faith and that was in important part of the story but not all were Christian which was a breath of fresh air.
Erika (17789 KP) rated Chasing Aphrodite in Books

This book was full of insight. If you've ever wondered how some museums got certain antiquities, this has a lot of answers. While, it doesn't happen with every single museum, it still makes you wonder. This book focuses on the J. Paul Getty Museum in LA. It was immensely readable, and I loved it. The book also had an amazing bibliography, which led me to other books about the same subject.

Emotional!
Contains spoilers, click to show
I binge watched the tv series and thought it was epic. Really hits you in the feels.
So, naturally I had to read the book as well and compare the two. They’re both amazing, as always the books better but that’s just my opinion.
The story about the tapes and what happened in the run up to the girls suicide really being up a variety of emotions.

Caffeinated Fae (464 KP) rated Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in Books
Jul 10, 2018
Well, I did it. I officially finished rereading all the Harry Potter books before July 31st, 2016.
Honestly, I don't know what to say about this book that hasn't already been said. This is beautiful, haunting, and it definitely brings back all of my emotions. This is simply one of the best series I have ever read & worth the time.
This will ALWAYS be one of my favorite series.

So I've basically had this book out of the library for about a year now and I've tried and tried. I've read 100 pages but I just can't push myself any further.
I don't know if it's the writing or the subject but it just doesn't keep my interest.
Maybe I'll try again in the future but other books are calling me...back to the library you go.

Kittyz98 (13 KP) rated The Tattooist of Auschwitz in Books
Dec 12, 2018
I received this book for free on Netgalley last year. These types of books really interest me, and I found this to be so beautifully written and emotional. The book is basically an account of a real man and him meeting his wife in such an awful place but finding love while trying to survive. I loved this book, and I felt as if it really taught me more about auschwitz.
