ArecRain (8 KP) rated All the Lovely Bad Ones in Books

Jan 18, 2018

Everything this woman writes is gold. I am 21 years old and I love her books with a passion even though they are only meant for children. Something about the way she writes just enraptures me to the point that I must finish the book. Her novels are quick reads, but they keep you interested, even with their simplicity. There are no drastic twists in the straight forward plot and it tends to be a bit predictable. But her characters are very real in their actions, thoughts, and reactions to situations.

Lindsay (1774 KP) rated Eventide (The Days of Redemption #3) in Books

I love this book. Though it the third book in the series. I would love to read book 1 and two. This book deals with someone who struggling to deal with herself and her Illness a bit and building a relationship. This book does go into several thing about dealing the illness and how to over come it and several different issues. I really do believe the author did a great job. I will let you decide it you ever want to read it and come away with your own thoughts on it.

Dana (24 KP) rated Plessy v. Ferguson: A Brief History with Documents in Books

Mar 23, 2018

This was a very informative text about the Plessy vs Ferguson case. I had to read this for a Law, Society, and Literature class. It has a lot of really interesting texts about other people's thoughts on the case and essays and speeches that just happened around the time of the case. If you want to learn more about the Plessy vs Ferguson case, pick this book up and give it a read. It's pretty interesting to see what was going on in the minds of the people at this time.

This book is intense. It had me on the verge of panic attacks. I had to put the book down so I could gather my thoughts and my emotions.

This book is very similar to a Wave pool. It is an up and down emotional book. One moment you'll have a smile and the next you'll be breaking down.

I really liked this book but I am numb from this book. It is so intense that I know I will need to read a lighthearted book after this.

MrsSkefton (3 KP) rated The Reason I Jump: One Boy's Voice from the Silence of Autism in Books

Jul 26, 2018

Easy read - each chapter is relative to a trait or “issue” with concise thoughts and insights that can be really useful if living or working with autistic people. (2 more)

Thought provoking and moving in ways I hadn’t anticipated.

A book I can share with my eldest daughter and other family members in the hope they can make connections or learn how to better interact with my youngest autistic daughter.

Nothing this book can solve - I’d just like a female perspective too as female autism has other traits and separate difficulties. (0 more)

Insightful!

Book Rating

I'm glad I listened to the audiobook narrated by Amy Poehler, because I don't think I could have gotten through it if I was reading.
I liked some of the stories, but once she started talking about children, I was done. I don't think kids are cute, so cutesy stories about kids are so uninteresting to me. That was definitely when my thoughts started drifting, and I thought to myself, yeah, I'm glad I got the audiobook for free.
Overall, it was ok, but I definitely wouldn't listen to it again.

Hello!
I'm not sure if I'm in the right place to share this but I had a few thoughts!

There was a post a couple of months back about new catergories and I was thinking that maybe YouTube channels could be a good one to add?
I've also definitely said this before, but just for good measure... I would love to see DLC as an option to add to video game items, much like you can add seasons to TV shows.

Again, sorry if this is the wrong place to post something like this! 😬
