Whatchareadin (174 KP) rated Unlucky 13 (Women’s Murder Club, #13) in Books
May 10, 2018
The Women's Murder Club really has their hands full this time. Burger bombs, hijacked ships, and an old "friend" back for a visit, these ladies have their work cut out for them this time.
One thing I really like about James Patterson books is how quickly I can get through one. With the short chapters and the excitement around every corner, there is never a dull moment.
My thoughts...look out for 14 in the coming year or so....there is some unfinished business that needs to be attended to.

graveyardgremlin (7194 KP) rated Underground (Greywalker, #3) in Books
Feb 15, 2019
Underground is a solid third entry back into the grey. Harper is, as always, a protagonist I can relate to and is believable in her thoughts in actions. Although the plot was slow at times, it was still entertaining and usually kept my interest. I love Seattle as a setting, even if there are a few liberties (hey, I've never been there! :P), and will continue to pick up Ms. Richardson's books!
*slight spoilers*
I hope Will is gone for good (what a bore) and Quinton is as intriguing as he's always been.

Old fashioned creepy
A good old fashioned ghost story. A creepy old house, odd servants, a pregnant widow left to her own thoughts in a big empty house.
And wooden people! Wooden people who multiply! And move on their own!
The story is set over 3 time periods. In the 1600s and in the 1800s. What happens in the earlier time is revealed through a diary found by one of the later characters.
Is it witchcraft? Is it insanity? Or ghosts? Read this book to find out. I really enjoyed it.

Loved it!
Absolute literacy gem! The ability to consider the thoughts and feelings from the point of view of the main character is exceptional and allows the reader to really get inside the mind to consider how she would have felt. I haven't really read this type of book before, however my friend really encouraged me to read it which I'm glad she did! It had me hooked from the start, and I needed to turn over the page to see what came next!
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 (1706 KP) rated Eventide (The Days of Redemption #3) in Books
Feb 15, 2018
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.
Caffeinated Fae (464 KP) rated Mockingjay in Books
Jul 10, 2018
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.
Insightful!

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.
