Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Sin & Lightning (Demigods of San Francisco, #5) in Books
Jan 8, 2021
This has been borrowed from the Kindle Unlimited Library.
This starts with Lexi and some of the crew heading up a mountain in the hopes of recruiting a strong rock/stone giant to their crew as they gear up to appear at the Magical Summit in a few months time where Kieran will hope to become the recognised Demigod of San Francisco. Kieran doesn't know where she's heading and they're all hoping to get the giant on side before he realises. Then a ghost who used to be a spirit walker gives Alexis details of someone else who'd be good for the team and they head out after him, too. There's also the issue of Lydia, a Demigod of Egypt, who has invited them to her territory after being caught sneaking around their property. Kieran is hoping for an alliance with her so they go.
I do still really love this group of people. They are one big extended family that look after each other and compliment each others abilities magically. The new additions are great characters and I quickly grew to like both of them. I loved watching them all kick arse in this at the end. I was willing them on and grinning like an idiot at times.
There was a little twist/surprise at the end revolving around Magnus, Lexi's dad, that has me intrigued to see what might go down in the last book at the magical summit, so I'm off to go borrow it from the KU Library.

So this JUST came out. I'd had my eye on it for a few months, and put a request in as soon as my library ordered it. The author recently came out as trans, so it's also part of my effort to read more inclusively. Ortberg definitely played with gender and sexuality in several of these tales; in one of them people decided whether to be the husband or the wife, independent of their gender, in their marriage. (One party to the marriage in the story stated "I've been trained for both roles.") In another all of a man's daughters used male pronouns and that was never explored further. That was slightly odd.
These were dark, twisted versions of these stories. "Our Friend Mr. Toad," for example, involved gaslighting and psychologically torturing poor Mr. Toad. I found that one particularly disturbing. I enjoyed the title story, Ortberg's version of Beauty and the Beast, which has a very different ending from expected. I also really liked "The Daughter Cells", inspired by The Little Mermaid. I LOVED "Fear Not: An Incident Log."
I think this was a great, albeit strange, little book. It's unique, for sure, and a quick read. If you're looking for a fairy tale collection that is VERY different, try this one.

If you are looking for a closer walk with God, then please, look no further than this book. It is a book that is well written, and well organized. The aspects of this book are wonderful and really leave the reader thinking things through. Each page is different, each page helping you to understand a little more about God and what you need to do to truly listen to Him, to hear Him out, and make yourself a better person for Him.
The way The Good Book is laid out makes it easy to follow. I understand things a little differently now, in a good way, of course. Mr. Spoo has created a wonderful book, filled with truth and information that will be with the reader long after they finish. This book has verses from the Bible with each chapter and leaves it open for a great discussion and break down of the Bible!
This is a definitely worthy of beyond 5 stars. It’s a great companion to the Bible and and will make a great addition to any Bible study or library collection. Don’t miss out on this great book! <a href="http://cafinatedreads.com/litfuse-blog-tour-review-the-good-book-40-chapters-that-reveal-the-bibles-biggest-ideas-by-deron-spoo/"; target="_blank">This review was originally posted on Cafinated Reads</a>

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Vampire Debt (Supernatural Battle: Vampire Towers #2) in Books
Jan 8, 2021
This has been borrowed from the Kindle Unlimited ;Library.
This pretty much carries on from the last with Basi at her grandmothers funeral. Afterwards she learns some things about her grandmother and her estate that has her marvelling at her secretiveness. Basi also has plans for the Indebted. She wants to undergo the fourth blood exchange so she can begin to have a group of Indebted away from the tower so they can have some freedom but the fourth exchange has been given the no go by King Julian.
It does seem to be getting a little complicated this trilogy. There is so much going on at times that I get a little overwhelmed. I won't spoil it by listing things because I think you need to try this series for yourself.
All I want is for Basi and Kyros to get together because the tension and the emotions between them are so high at times. They've've both lied to each other at time so I really don't know if I get Kyros' anger at the end of this.
The game between these two warring families is very likely to destroy everyone if it keeps going for much longer. It needs to come to an end.
I need to finish this trilogy to see how it all ends.

Lindsay (1732 KP) rated Mickey On The Move in Books
Feb 12, 2021
I found an excellent inspiring children's book about a little boy who deaf but not wholly. You wouldn't even know he seems to be like most children his age. The book is called "Mickey on the Move." I thought it was about him moving a lot. I was surprised why he had been to five different schools.
The book talks about his hard of hearing and how to go about his new school. His mom seems to help him through planning this first day of school, how his teachers support him, and his friends helping out if they can. They all seem to work for a way to help Mickey.
The book also talks about how Mickey wants to be growing up. There is a phrase that mentions throughout the book Mickey on the Move. Will one problem that his teacher brings up to his mom. Will they find a solution for the problem. Mickey can get what he needs while in school.
The pictures were done well by the author. It is about special needs kids and how to help and support them in their environment that they will need. This book is suitable for children to read and understand some deaf and hard of hearing children's needs. I would even support having this on library shelves and even school library shelves for children.
Parents can learn as well as children about hearing loss. However, that might be hard of hearing. Maybe get the child or children what they need to help them and support them. I know it is a hard thing. This author does it well.
