YvonneG (5 KP) rated The Fault in Our Stars in Books
Aug 9, 2017
I really enjoyed this book. YA is a great genre, and normally the YA books I read fit into the fantasy realm, so reading this book was a bit out of character for me. However, I was inspired after having watching the movie (out of boredom) and then months later hearing people rant about how great this book was. It was definitely worth the fuss. So much so that it has a permanent place in my book collection.

This was picked for my book club, I really really tried my hardest to enjoy reading it, but for all my best efforts I had to give up. I aren't a great lover of non fiction books anyway unless it is something I really enjoy learning about. But the way he has written it was far too textbookish for me and I found it too hard to keep my concentration on it.

This book was very good and I enjoyed it. My only complaint is the end. I hate when books end the way this one did, but overall it was very sweet. I loved the passion and the sweetness and even though it's a short story you got what you needed for the most part from the story. Unfortuantly it also left me with a few questions about other stuff in the book but I really did enjoy it :)

Interesting Character's
Makes you want to read the series!
I was told about the Sword of Truth books from a colleague after mentioning I was searching for a new fantasy series to read. I read this one first and it got me hooked. I loved this book and the maim Character's.
I did find after the 5th book that I started to get bored. But this book is by far the best of the series.

What happened? Normally her books are lovely and are instant buy clicks, but this just seemed lacking. Quite a few holes that we don't know and no idea about the why that occurs at most of the big points in the story. Could this be a tie-in to the Justice series? By the end of the book I went "huh? What that was the end?" Sadness, have another instant buy to read later. #Coyer book.
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2593 KP) rated I Funny: A Middle School Story (I Funny, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Jamie Grimm is a middle schooler who has learned to deal with the sorrow in his life by telling jokes. Then he hears about a contest for kid comedians. Should he enter? I enjoyed the books and the humor definitely made me laugh. However, the plot introduced several potential conflicts only to drop them without any development at all.

Charlotte Cartlidge (22 KP) rated Elizabeth is Missing in Books
Aug 18, 2018
Elizabeth is missing is an easy read tackling a tough subject matter (dementia). I was gripped from the get go reading about Maud and attempting to unmuddle her mind. I found myself very attached to her story both past and present. Without giving away to much, a slightly disappointing ending, leaving me with more questions than I had to begin with. Overall I loved Emma Healeys storytelling and would read a few more of her books in the future

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
This book is a ride and a half! It's a breakneck mystery that throws twists and turns in away that's mind-boggling but makes perfect sense!
Seriously, if you loved the PLL books, this one is gonna put a huge smile on your face.
Well, it would if it weren't so intense and emotional.
Seriously just read my tweets about it.

Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated Thrawn (Star Wars: Thrawn #1) in Books
Dec 30, 2019
Ahhh, Thrawn. One of the most talked about characters in my SW fandom group of friends. I never actually got around to reading the EU books because now body could come to a consensus on where to start.
Anyway, Thrawn is a phenomenal tactician and I get the comparison to Pryce and why her oartshad to be included I felt they kinda bogged down the book.
But I don't think her story as told would warrant it's own book.

Casey Reid (9 KP) rated Vicious in Books

READ. THIS. NOW.
Wow. I read a lot of books and very few have the ability to stick around and make me think about it for days on end. Vicious is that book. Being able to love and hate both Eli and Victor simultaneously is a task that only VE Schwab could accomplish. The plot was so fast paced that I genuinely couldn't put the book down. READ IT NOW!
