I stumbled upon this book yesterday and figured I‘d give it a shot since it was included in my audible. I devoured it! It was so cute and charming and intriguing. It‘s a total audio rom com right down to the ending. 4.5⭐️

I do not know how to rate this book. Although the writing is really well done, the content is hard to stomach.

Bishop has to solve the mysterious murder of Evelyn Hardcastle in eight days, and if that‘s not hard enough, he had to do it while inhabiting the bodies of different witnesses. This book had so many questions, and tried to do so much, I found it so confusing. The author was amazing at making it all work. It was very compelling and kept me reading, but I honestly couldn‘t keep up with all of it most of the time. It‘s a great story though! 3.5/4⭐️

Reviewsbylola My husband told me his co worker just read this on the recommendation of his wife and said it was one of the best books he‘s ever read. So now I have to read it to tell my husband if he should give it a try. 🤣 4y
Mrs.C @Reviewsbylola I would totally give it a try! The story and mystery is great! 4y

I thought this book was pretty cute, a nice typical rom com kind of story. Tiffy needs to find a new place and the only thing in her budget is sharing a flat with a strange guy, but they‘re never meant to be in the flat at the same time. 4⭐️

The Poet X | Elizabeth Acevedo

This book has been sitting on my shelf for a year waiting to be read. I decided to pick it up this morning and I‘m so mad at myself for letting it sit there. For so long. Xiomara writes her thoughts and feelings through poems in a journal. Poems about boys, and questioning religion, being able to be herself. The novel is told entirely in verse. 4.5⭐️

I finished! Amy, a single mom spends the summer in NYC after her husband who left the family returns to try and make amends. She finds a new side of herself while she‘s there and really grows to like this life. Throughout she wrestles with the guilt of taking time for herself and wonders how she is any better than the husband who left his family. The book was good, the parental guilt and the desire for a break would hit home for any parent. 3.75⭐️

Ignoring who the author is and some of the controversial things she‘s said, the story was good. Friendship, loyalty, honesty and an Ickabog. It was a fun read. I already suggested it to my 9 year old, she‘ll love it.

Before reading it I read reviews about how people laughed and cried and how heartfelt the story was. I honestly don‘t know that I can give a better review. I sobbed through the last few chapters because it was such a beautiful story.

Into the Wild | Jon Krakauer

I am torn on how to rate this book. I keep going back and forth. While I don‘t know how I feel about him as a person, think the story of McCandless is incredibly interesting and he certainly did what made him happy. Krakauer‘s telling of McCandless‘s story seemed to be highly researched and keep me interested.

Jeannineth I read it a few years ago and it has stuck with me. Tragic story. 4y
Allthebookclubs Krakouer really does a great job telling Chris‘ story! I could‘ve gone without some of the others he used to parallel, but I enjoyed his writing. 4y
