Love it
This is probably my second most used app behind goodreads. I love having access to thousands of ebooks at my fingertips. As a constant reader I like being able to access a book no matter where I am. And if the book i need isn't available, they have a hold option, just like at a standard library. Overall a 10/10, no complaints.

I LOVE this.
I got it in a Goodreads giveaway, was really looking forward to this one, and it did not disappoint.
A charming story about Pug's adventure, a fun plotline with great humour, and surrounded with wonderful illustrations.
Now to pass on to my 9 and 7 yr old as I know they will like the story, and could easily read it by themselves.
I'll be looking out for future books.

I won this book through a Goodreads giveaway. The book itself does not come out until March 2017. Other than a few typographical errors, this is such a great book! I've read her other books and I really like her writing. This was no disappointment. Lindsey is a single mom and Sophie is her daughter. Lindsey was in an abusive relationship and she got out of that relationship....or did she? Must read the book.
  
I wish you could give a half start on Goodreads, as I don't feel this book is perfect. My main criticism is on the romance side, there were a number of these in this book, and a felt while it wasn't quite instalove, it was close by. But apart from that this book was definitely the best in the trilogy. I'll be interested to read the sequel trilogy to see if it further improves

****book received in goodreads giveaways ****

umm well I wouldn't say I disliked the book, however I did think that it was very drawn out.

I did read the book in good time as I did feel the need to reach the end, however there were several times when I thought 'blah blah' get on with it already. and when I reached the middle of the book, I did think 'why hasn't this finished yet? '

Blake Crouch | 2016 | Fiction & Poetry
Read because it's one of the December selections for "The EVERYONE Has Read This But Me -The Catch Up Book Club" group on Goodreads. Also, I liked Wayward Pines so I wanted to experience another work by Blake Crouch.

This was a pretty good story overall. Quantum physics and Schrodinger's Cat seem to be on my radar recently. I finished Stephenson's The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O recently where they played a big part of the story mechanic.

This was really a 3.5 (oh Goodreads how I wish you'd make that an option!) I decided on a 4 though because at the end, this book made me cry. I haven't lost my mom, but I do live far away from her. Quinlan's descriptions of her mother reminded me so much of my own mom. The book was heartfelt & touching...something I plan on sharing with my own mom when I am lucky enough to see her again!

Easy and Convenient
I love goodreads. It is one of the few apps/websites that I use on a daily basis. I am constantly researching books, adding them to my to read list and of course updating my reading challenge. This is undoubtedly my favorite feature, as it both challenges me and strokes my ego. I also have had great fun winning books from the giveaways section.
