Loving vs. Virginia: A Documentary Novel of the Landmar

Nine years. That's how long Richard and Mildred Loving had to fight just to live together as husband and wife in the state of Virginia, their case traveling all the way to the Supreme Court. Ms. Powell recounts their travails in alternating pages, in spare but beautiful verse that makes you feel as if this couple, who were really quite ordinary but lived in a time when what we see as such today would have been extraordinary . . . or illegal, are right in the room with you, telling you their story.

Not the best X-Men
This X-Men seemed rather haphazardly put together. It is not the best X-Men by a long shot mostly because the scene ran from one story to another as if the director was running out of time. Even the ending where there is a destruction of a character, it was done rather quickly so it seemed like a total anti-climax. In this entire film Jean Gray was the best character, and there was zero character development. Fun to watch as a relaxing kind of mindless film though.
  
This was such a good conclusion to the story of Miss Peregrine and her peculiar children. I was so hoping that Jacob and Emma would get a chance to be together without the hollows and the threat of the whites and just to be normal kids, so to speak, and I'm glad that's what happened in the end. I hope that Jacob's parents come around and finally realize how special their son is and I'm glad the children and Miss Peregrine found a way to live outside a loop and experience real life.

This is the second book in this series by this author. You definitely need to read book one in this series first. This book is filled with passion, jealously, lies, secrets and heartache. These amazing characters have fantastic intense chemistry between them. In this book the story starts to come together and the story between the characters is so beautiful. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.

I devoured this 4 star read in less than 24 hours. Oh my God. The emotional journey that Hannah took me on was one of phenomenal proportions.

Her characters are beautifully woven together and weaved into the plot line at just the right times, making the reader fall in love with each and every one of them, good or bad.

I have my sister, Mary Fields Jackson, to thank for hooking me on this one! I can't wait to dive into another book by this incredible author. Definitely recommend this one!

I Received an ARC copy from netgalley for an open and honest review.
I love love love this book, it really is about friendship, love, adolescence, experimentation and of course possession.
There were some real twists and turns that I did not expect and it was a real page turner of a book.
It was well put together and completely from a Abby's point of view.
I loved how Abby was tested again and again trying to save her friend and the ending was a superb ending to this book.
Loved it :)

This was a super easy, quick, and heart happy read. The characters had chemistry that you could see on the pages and imagine off the pages. It gave a strong female lead a strong male lead to compliment her. They work together instead of fighting with each other. It was a definite move from the normal young adult rom-com read.
This is perfect if you need a quick happy read where everything isn't terrible for the main characters the entire book.

Thanks to the publisher for letting me read an early copy through Netgalley.

What happens when you only see the outside of a person. When that outside is enough to convince you that you love them. This feels like what a normal person does when they romanticize a fictional character as perfect for them.
She finds out pretty fast that there is no spark and she screwed up more than her potential for love. Now she has to fix her naive mistakes and get all the right people together.
I would equate it to a Midsummer's Night Dream but Puck didn't screw up, she did.

Really glad I stuck with these lovable misfits.
I wasn't the biggest fan of season 1 but I stycknit out and I'm really glad I did season 2 was much better it's obvious all around that everyone found their footing with and in the show. The characters worked together so much better the episodes got so much interesting and honestly the show was just down right fun to watch.

The reverse Flash was a great villian for the season and really helped make the season so much better.
