Gisell Middleton (189 KP) rated Tangerine: A Novel in Books
Jul 25, 2018
Obsessive love in Tangier
This novel seemed to me like a mix of Single White Female and The Talented Mr. Ripley. The plot was entertaining, if predictable. The characters though, unlike Gone Girl’s titular protagonist, were unlikeable and seemed to have no redeeming qualities.
Samantha Reece (16 KP) rated Me Before You in Books

I cannot begin to describe how beautiful and heartbreaking this novel is. It is the story of a young woman who finds herself in a man who has had his adventurous life ripped from him in a single accident. You will cry and laugh. Possibly, cry more than laugh. I recommend this to everyone.
David McK (3721 KP) rated Deathstalker (Deathstalker, #1) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
Not so much science fiction as it is science fantasy, this novel pretty much proves the old matra that you can't judge a cover by it's (in this case, dodgy) cover. Not the best book I've ever read, not even the best by Simon Green, but still worth a look if you like space opera.
James Koppert (2698 KP) rated Anya's Ghost in Books

Ghost with the moast yo boast
Really good graphic novel about growing up as an outsider in America as well as having a ghost who at first seems great but not is all as it seems. Clean cute drawings, plenty of comedy and a relatable character makes this a perfect for all ages story.
AT (1676 KP) rated Cats of the Louvre in Books
Feb 3, 2020
I wasn't sure what to expect when I happened to run across Cats of the Louvre on the shelf at my library. I'm glad I read it. It's full of art appreciation, mystery, some heartbreak, and cats when the Louvre is closed at night. It's an odd, magical story told in graphic novel form.
Becs (244 KP) rated Toil & Trouble: 15 Tales of Women & Witchcraft in Books
Jan 2, 2020
I received a read and review copy from Netgalley for my full honest opinion.
Overall, this was a great read. Some parts were completely terrible while others were absolutely fantastic. I would only reread parts of this novel as certain stories are better than the others but all in all, it's a 4 star read.
