Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Love Without Limits (Pink Bean #7) in Books
Jun 26, 2018
Harper Bliss does an amazing job creating emotional and great characters. Reading her Pink Bean books is like meeting up with old friends. I will say this one caught me a little off guard but sometimes it is good to come out of your comfort zone. As Jo learns in this installment of the series. It was a bit eye opening to say the least.

I'd like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I liked it but to be perfectly honest it meandered a bit and felt like I was reading two completely different books, what with the old-timey coin mystery.
I liked Amy's character a lot and the research bits were fun.

Kristy H (1252 KP) rated Love the One You're With in Books

Story revolves around Ellen -- recently married, her life turns somewhat upside down when her old flame, Leo (he of an "intense" past love) returns to her life. Keeping Leo a secret from her husband Andy (he of a "pleasant, stable" love), Ellen finds herself torn between the two and questioning the state of her marriage. Adding to her troubles is the fact that Ellen's best friend, Margot, is Andy's sister (and was not one bit fond of Leo).
Many books have been written on the "old boyfriend returns" subject and while Giffin's is nothing outstanding, she handles the topic convincingly, giving Ellen surprising depth. A quick and rather enjoyable read.

David McK (3248 KP) rated Star Wars X-Wing: Rogue Squadron (Rogue Squadron #1) in Books

When Disney took over the Star Wars franchise in circa 2015, they threw all the old Expanded Universe stuff out.
Which is understandable, from a certain point of view.
This, however, meant they threw the good out with the bad - for my money, this series was one of the major losses of that decision.
Essentially, these books - based on the old X-Wing/TIE fighter video games - are Top Gun in space, and - IMO - are far more interesting than just about anything Disney has done since (including the 'new' Alphabet Squadron series).
Corran Horn himself is a major loss in the 'new' Disney films.

One of your must reads
It maybe an old book (mentioning the great American depression more than once) but the information will never go out of date. As I stated it's not a light read but you get a history lesson, a self help and business book all rolled into one. It should be on the list of must read books in your lifetime.

<i>So. Many. Short. Stories.</i>
Sometimes these kinds of weird, old school, random books really hook me, but I can't explain why. This is one of them. This story has the most simple of plot lines, yet it does so well to inflict fear and excitement into the reader.
I loved the writing. I loved the tension. I loved the plot. I loved the psychopath. I loved the ending.

Jewels (684 KP) rated Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones in Books

Well written. (2 more)
Easy to follow.
Well organized.
I don't usually read non-fiction, let alone self help books. I dove into this one as a choice for some PD hours over the summer. Definitely a good choice- it was engaging, well organized, easy to follow and very easy to read. Anyone wanting to build good habits or change old or bad habits would find this little gem useful.
