Alison Pink (7 KP) rated A Lion Among Men in Books
Jan 15, 2018
Out of the Wicked series, I liked this book the least so far. I couldn't get into it the way I did the first 2 books. My favorite piece of the book is the fact that you get the REAL story on the history of several of the characters...especially Mother Yackle.
I think part of the reason I didn't enjoy this as much is that this book is the story of the Cowardly Lion. I never appreciated him much in the Wizard of Oz as it is so I went into this book with a bit of bias already. I just didn't find Brrr (yes, that's his name) as interesting a character as I did the others. The book was still well written however so that saved it in my eyes.

The Berenstain Bears and the Joy of Giving is a really good book to add to your Advent calendar. Are you struggling with your child or children with the meaning of giving rather than receiving? Well, this one does the job.
This book is a favorite of mine not cause it to deal with Christmas or the meaning of giving. I grew up with The Berenstain Bears series. I still love them. I love the meaning behind the book. It is better to give than to receive.
This tells a story through Brother and Sister Bear's eyes. This book and many in the series teaches a valuable lesson for children. I love that. The pictures are done well. There something that changes the cubs. This book is good to have on your child's bookshelves.

Plot
One of my favorite romances
This is the second time that I have read this book and honestly it is even better than I can remember. Samantha Young has a way with creating a world that you just step into. I first picked this book up in 2012 when I was looking for a cheap read. It was only a few dollars at that time and I couldn't put it down. Joss & Braden are wonderful characters that are sure to make you swoon. Joss is a kick ass girl who has some pretty big issues going on in her life. I loved that she sought help for her issues & I loved how Samantha Young was able to portray therapy in such a positive light. I loved the banter between Joss & Braden and I just loved each and every character that was introduced.
The plot kept me on my toes. I never knew if I was going to laugh, cry or roll my eyes in frustration. This is honestly my favorite romance that I have read. If you haven't read Samantha Young, you're truly missing out. She quickly became one of my favorite authors and has yet to disappoint me. The characters, the plot, literally everything about this book is beautiful.

Alison Pink (7 KP) rated A Storm of Swords: Part 1 Steel and Snow (Reissue) in Books
Jan 15, 2018
So far, this 3rd book has been my favorite of the series. It is very suspenseful. There are lots of deaths, so many that at one point I thought, "How can this series possibly keep going?" But as usual, George R.R. Martin has tricks up his sleeves. And let me say, that I didn't see any of them coming at all!
Auburn (57 KP) rated Abandon (Abandon, #1) in Books
Apr 10, 2019
This could easily have been a 5⭐ read if it wasn't so dang confusing. It bounced around and took almost the whole story to figure out just what was happening. If it had been more cohesive this might have been a new favorite. But instead I spent most of the book trying to piece together just what was happening.

Great beginning hook (2 more)
Keeps a good pace
Not typical vampire story
The start of a great series!!!
This is BY FAR one of my favorite book series. The authors set it up really well and give backstory and pertinent information without getting lost in flashbacks or dragging on forever. Plus I like the references to native American culture and mythology!

This is a beautiful cloth-bound copy of The Call of the Wild and White Fang. I received a copy of this book from Goodreads Giveaways. I love it! It is even nicer than it looks online, and the paper even feels nice and "fancy". These are two of favorite stories, and I love that they are included in one volume.

honestly? my favorite classic (after P&P of course). It's beautiful, sad, and full of gorgeous moments. i genuinely love this book so much like i cannot express it. the language is simple, which made it an easy read for 2nd grade me, and the characters and storyline played out particularly well. i truly loved this story and everything about it.
