Draw cards until you have the winning combo. The rules for drawing and winning constantly change. (They are in "flux", get it?)

A classic
I still love this story after countless readings and about as many reboots. Few are unfamiliar with the story, which lends itself well to contemporary retellings. But I enjoy revisiting the original now and then. It's a very quick read, and one of my favorite ghost stories and tales of redemption. If Scrooge can change, who can't?

I was wary reading a book by Claudia Gray, as the only book I'd read by her, I absolutely couldn't stand. This book made me change my opinion of the author.
The novel features two friends that grew up together, joined the Imperial Academy, then one became a rebel. It was a quick read, and the book went right up to the Battle of Jakku.

Tonya (52 KP) rated The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference in Books
Dec 15, 2017
Explains concepts in plain English (1 more)
Quick read ... unusual for a "business" or a "sociology" book
Inspiring Read
I've heard Malcolm Gladwell speak in person and this book reads just as if he is talking to you. He easily explains how speaking to the RIGHT person can have a bigger impact than speaking to a large number of people. In some situations it is understanding that the simplest of changes are the tip of an iceberg and result in a social epidemic of change. We don't necessarily need the big marketing campaign or the most expensive change management consultant...maybe we just need to be more observant of what is happening around us.

rebeccareadsyt (8 KP) rated Fire and Heist in Books
Jan 17, 2019 (Updated Jan 17, 2019)
Quick read
I received this in December 2018 Fairyloot box.
In this novel, we meet Sky. Sky and her family are wyverns, who mix with humans but also have their own schools etc. In order to impress and go anywhere int he world or BE anyone of status, you need to be able to steal gold. At the beginning of the novel, Sky's mother has gone.nissing following a failed heist, presumed dead by everyone but Sky, get father and brothers. The family have been shunned from the community as a result, and Sky's now ex-boyfriend publicly humiliated her by dumping her and making everyone aware of his thoughts.
But Sky doesn't care about that. Well she does, but she just wants her mother back.
I was pleasantly surprised by this, as the first 50 or so pages felt very "meh" nd I was debating DNF'ing it. In a way, I'm pleased I didn't, as there was such a quick change of events and pacing in the book around chapter 16 (not sure of page number) that kept me hooked until the bitter end.
Definitely something to read if you like dragons, gold and quick reads.
