This book was very hyped up to me but it was still enjoyable. The story was told through a dual timeline. Sometimes it was confusing to know what timeframe the story was taking place.
However, it was interesting to learn how Luke and August ended up the way they were. Both had trauma in their lives that they were trying to overcome.
I did lose interest here and there.And was kind of disappointed with the romance in the book
pickThis was a cute and fun read! It had me smiling from beginning to end. Now it's time for me to watch Roman Holiday.

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate!
pickFinished the first part of the dramatic reading of Iron Flame. It was full of action and twists. My only complaint was how often Violet was getting hurt and tortured. However, I am looking forward to the second part!

pickThis was a fun noir mystery set in Los Angeles in the 1930s. I highly enjoyed how the sisters tried to solve Lulu's murder while trying to navigate the world as Asian Americans. It definitely peaked my interest to learn more about Asian Californian history.

so-soI was hoping to like this more but it was really hard to get into. I was interested to find out what happened to Barbara but I was not a big fan how the story jumped between time lines. It almost felt like it was trying to decide which storyline to focus on: Barbara's disappearance or Bear's. I felt that these two plots could have been broken into two different books.

I was expecting mark cannibalism, but I'm glad it wasn't that bad. My squeamish heart would not have handled it.
It was a fun and quick read. It was a mystery and a thriller with a whodunit kind of feeling. The whole time I kept wondering, did Maria kill her husband? Did she use his meat in her food?
I was not a big fan of the MC but I also worried about the situation she was in. ⬇️

pickIt's always fun to read a spooky classic, especially during October. I liked the Gothic vibe of the book and I enjoyed the characters (the doctor's wife, not so much). I highly enjoyed a good ghost story.

pickI enjoyed the book. I was hooked from the beginning. I kept wondering how Julie was going to pull off the identity switch and I was curious about Chloe's life. However, once Julie got to the island, things got too strange. The story turned in a way I was not expecting it. Don't get me wrong, I was still interested to see how things were going to develop, but the conclusion had me questioning if I read the book right.

I've only rated 3 books 5⭐️ this year, but the one that has stuck with me the most has been The Women.

pickCute and light.
I highly enjoyed the Ren Faire setting. I loved the atmosphere, and I enjoyed the characters as they tried to mimic the Renaissance times. Though I enjoyed Simon and Emily's interactions at the faire, Simon's broodiness and their lack of communication were irritating. However, it was still a fun read.

My book haul from the Fall into Books Fest. I was really good. I swear!
I was so thrilled to meet Rocio Carranza! I can't wait to read this book!
I heard many great things about Annette Chavez Macias. I was told that all of her books are tear-jerkers. If you've read the tagged book, please let me know how many tissue boxes I need.
Here's a classic I recommend during this spooky season.

I can't believe this was published in 1932. It talked about very advanced topics and many of the things mentioned are still relevant today. It is disturbing and thought provoking. It makes one wonder how far we, as a society, can go to have a Utopian type world.
I highly enjoyed the first half of the book but was very confused with the second half. I'm not sure how I feel about the story's shifting focus from Bernard to John.
pickI went into this book blind, so I was not sure what to expect. A bored kidnapped teenager with Stockholm Syndrome? Let's just say, I was surprised with how the story developed.

While working on my library, I found that I had to rehome 40+ books. So my husband and I went around our neighborhood and dropped off the books at several Little Free Libraries.
