3.5 ⭐️

Excellent world building and character development. The tension between the main characters is wonderful. Could not put down and can't wait until the second comes out.

3.5, cute book, drags in places. The characters are likeable. I'll listen to the next book.

3.5 stars

3.5 stars. The premise was interesting, the first third of the book moved slowly. I became invested during the middle section.

A wonderful retelling of Pinocchio. I loved all of the characters-even the secondary ones. I chuckled at times and became anxious for the characters at times.!

3.5 stars

This was funny and heartwarming. All of the characters are well developed and make you fall in love with them. I was invested and devoured the book in a day.

I listened to this and LOVED the narration-one of the best audiobooks I've listened to recently. Overall, an enjoyable book-the ending left it for (hopefully) a sequel.

3.5 stars: the writing dragged at times and the characters were well written but I felt no connection for any of them.

I love Marissa Meyer's world building and character development but man this book dragged at times.

3.5 stars. Dragged in parts. I liked Eve's chapters better than Charlie's.

3.5 stars. Hava, the main character, was unlikeable. The writing dragged on in spots and I found myself becoming bored.

I listened to this book and was crying by the end. Beautifully written and some wonderful Easter Eggs.

3.5 stars.Listened to it and found my mind wandering at times. Love the series but felt like this one dragged a little bit.

Deliciously creepy :) Can't wait to read this with my boys and add it to my classroom library

This book is amazing! I fell in love with it-it made me laugh and cry. The characters are well developed, all of them no matter how big or small a role they played. Linus Baker's growth and change from start to finish was well written. Although Linus is the protagonist, Lucy and Chauncey totally stole my heart.

As I was reading (and giggling throughout) I told my husband I would have to buy my own copy, as this is a book to revisit when in need of some comfort or laughs.

Due date arrived while reading. Waiting for it (again). Can't wait to continue reading it.

3.5 stars. It was an interesting book but I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it. This book just dragged on for me. I did like the main character and parts of the story were intriguing enough to keep me reading. I'd say the last third was the best part.

3.5 Stars. I usually enjoy Jodi Picoult but her past few books have not been as enjoyable as her earlier works. This book was very heavy on the Egyptology and quantum physics, to the point where I would skip over all the technical parts to get back to the story. The premise of the story was interesting but the execution failed. Once again, I didn't really like the main character. For me, this was an okay book.

Another great book for my classroom library. Fun and adventurous, my boys will love it.

Another excellent middle grade read. Humorous and heartwarming, Stand Up, Yumi Chung tackles being true to yourself and standing up for what you want in a fresh way. Another book to add to my classroom library

Umm... WOW! Once again, Tiffany D. Jackson has written a powerful novel that explores some very touchy issues. This is another one of her novels that will stay with me and beg for a reread. The plot moves quickly and has many thrilling twists. I was truly questioning the outcome and the main character. A must read.

3.5 stars. Very much a character driven story and not a plot driven story. I tend to find that I lose interest faster when books are character driven. It also didn't help that the timeline jumped around, so it was hard to know if we were in the past or present. The plus was that I listened and enjoyed “hanging out” with Tom Hanks on my drive to and from work.
