Steph (468 KP) rated Traitor's Blade (Greatcoats, #1) in Books
Jul 9, 2018
This book was an absolute delight! It had me captivated from page one and I could hardly put it down! I brought the book everywhere with me so I could get in a few pages in a spare moment.
I loved that the main characters were heroic, but not heroes. The whole concept of the Greatcoats being cast down by society and hated by everyone was fascinating to me. It made the characters more interesting and the struggles more real. The characters and plot was compelling. There was intrigue and action. I borrowed the first one from the library but have already purchased them all from a bookstore online so I can read the rest shortly! :)

Erika (17789 KP) rated How to Stop Time in Books

How to Stop Time wasn't released in the US until February of this year, but I had been reading on websites since the previous year that this was a must read, and amazing. Well... I think it suffered from too much hype, and I'm glad I borrowed it from the library instead of buying it full price.
The story was a perfectly good premise, however, none of it was really fleshed out. And then, out of nowhere, bam, it ended. I liked it, but I wish it was so much better than it was.
On a side note, this would definitely make a good movie, so I'm all on board with that.

Roxanne (13 KP) rated The single parent's handbook in Books
Nov 14, 2018
2.5 stars! I was going to give this 2 stars until I got to the end. I just found this so depressing...I am currently pregnant with my first child and I will be a single parent...my first thought was help! I need support! So I picked this up from the library. I must say...if this is what single parenthood is going to be like I am not looking forward to it. There seemed to be no upside to any downsides listed on every page...very one sided.
I gave a 0.5 star for the list of resources at the end of the book, very helpful websites and phone numbers.

Carma (21 KP) rated If You Only Knew in Books

I thought maybe loving Now that you mention it so much would be a fluke I am happy to say nope not the case. I loved this book just as much. It is amazing how well Kristan transforms a scene into a real life moment. There were multiple times in each of her books where I wondered if she had some how implanted a camera in my house to record my life. I am well into my 3rd Kristan Higgins book, binge bought and borrowed from my library to keep on going. How have I survived without KH in my life???
Great book about sisters, family dynamics and how we (and circumstances) screw it all up constantly.

Erika (17789 KP) rated Robopocalypse in Books
Jun 19, 2019
I've been wanting to read this book since it came out, and finally got a chance to borrow it from the library. Overall, it was a well-formed, quick-paced book, I dig sci-fi stories that are completely feasible.
Side note: A few days after I finished this book, a major telecom company in the US went down, and it reminded me of the fact that when the robots take over in this book, they knocked out all telecom. It totally freaked me out.
While I did enjoy this book, I'm not so sure if I'll continue the series. I don't feel like anything else needs to be added to the story.

Sara Cox (1845 KP) rated Mindfulness For Students in Books
Jul 28, 2019
With wellbeing and mindfulness being at the forefront of everyone's mind, I thought this would be a great read to start with. I work in a school so I request this book to see if it would suitable for our library. However I was quite disappointed. The books is broken down into sections but each section seemed to focus mainly on breathing and this became repetitive and tedious to read. Considering that there is a big push in mindfulness and wellbeing in most establishments I feel like a book aimed at students should be more in-depth as they would have had a lot of focus within school already, breathing being the most basic.
