Bethr1986 (305 KP) rated Love Tools (Bluestone Series, #1) in Books

Independent Reviewer for Archaeolibrarian - I Dig Good Books!
Lily has moved from her miserable life in London to a little town in America called Bluestone, to see what she can do with the hardware store her estranged father left her. What she didn't plan on doing was meeting somebody like Jake.
This is a well-written book. I rather enjoyed it from the start. It's the first in the Bluestone series by Isobel. Lily has a lot of sass and I like that in the characters. It has a good flow and I found it easy to get back into the story after having to put it down. Isobel has handled sensitive subjects well, not brushing over them quickly, but getting the feelings out that I imagine they would be in the situations they've been placed.
I'm looking forward to the next book. A recommended read

Bound ( Destine Academy book 6)
By Sara Snow
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
As Caroline embarks on year eleven at magical Destine Academy, she’s more determined than ever to find out what has happened to her mother and brother
...even if it means taking down her aunt, headmistress for the academy, Marguerite Destine.
Her feelings towards Aldrick and Corbin are more complicated than ever, as both gentlemen keep their distance, leaving Caroline confused.
While the headmistress denies that Tempeste and The Entiere pose any imminent threat, Caroline is still haunted by her encounter and is determined to master the POWERS of the four factions; Magicks, Surnaturals, Metamorphes and Voyantes.
With the help of her friends, Caroline’s strength grows as she learns what it means to harness her destiny—but will it be too late?
I love this little series I look forward to each book. They are quick read that always packs a punch!

David McK (3600 KP) rated She-Hulk: Attorney at Law in TV
Oct 16, 2022
I'm sorry to say this, but - to me, at least - it feels like Marvel has been on something of a decline ever since 'Avengers: Endgame', with none of the Disney+ TV series (all of which have been unique in their format, at least), really 'sticking the landing'.
I could probably best describe this by the 6 words I heard my mum (who doesn't really watch any of the Marvel stuff) say when she saw a bit of an episode of this:
"What on earth is this rubbish?"
While, personally, that was maybe a bit strong for me - I wouldn't go quite as far as calling it rubbish - it does more-or-less reflect my feelings on the show: for a (supposed) sit-com, there's very little funny in it, with what comedy there is being painful to watch rather than amusing.
Does bring Charlie Cox's Daredevil back into the fold, though (eventually), and really REALLY leans heavily into trolling its own fans ...

the story
Good read for anyone
This is a great middle grade book. The story is compelling and deep. Tristan is a boy who is struggling with growing up, figuring out how to deal with losing his best friend, and feeling like a disappointment to his parents and grandparents. It's a rollercoaster of feelings and a great story.
If you don't know anything or much about African American or African folktales or mythology, it's ok. I really know only two (John Henry the reason why I bought the book.) and have only a passing knowledge of some of the characters and others I didn't know at all. And that didn't distract from the story. I will be looking the stories up because I want to know more about them. That kind of curiosity is something that I feel makes a great book.
I look forward to reading the next story.

After escaping the claws of Corrigan, the Lord Alpha of the Brethren, Mack is trying to lead a quiet lonely life in Inverness in rural Scotland, away from anyone who might happen to be a shapeshifter. However, when she lands a job at an old bookstore owned by a mysterious elderly woman who not only has a familiar passion for herbal lore but also seems to know more than she should, Mack ends up caught in a maelstrom between the Ministry of Mages, the Fae and the Brethren.
