Lo

I loved this so much. Why didn't ya'll yell at me to listen to romance books on audio because I am loving it. The hardest thing about this was listening to everything happening to Amy while I am currently helping a friend going through a similar but much worse in my opinion situation and the rage that is in me is nauseating. Dane can go to Hell. But Ethan and Olive I love them. I want nothing but good things for them. I hope [redacted] is treating Amy like the Queen she is. I loved Olive and Amy's family. That's a closeness I have and will never have with my family. Having a support system even if it's not as big as theirs is so important.

I have no memory of ever reading the original Baby Sitters Club books but this was really cute.

We're starting an I love Alejandro fan club.

This book is perfect. Honestly so glad this was my first book by Katrina Jackson because she did not play. I love the way that it shows anxiety. So freaking relatable. I really hope we're getting more of these characters. I want Marie to get a good story.

I just love Deja and Alejandro so much.

I like finally not knowing what's coming because that ending was insane.

This was super cute! Some smut but not a lot. Basically follow your heart and when you meet your person don't let go. I think I would have cried if I read it compared to listening to it. I have a harder time connecting to things when I listen.

I AM READY FOR BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS AND SNAKES NOW.

I restarted this on audio and I think I preferred the audio to reading the physical I have checked out. This was cute though.

He's just so creepy I can't get over how uncomfortable it makes me.

This is probably the most popular audio book I've ever checked out. Every time I had to return it I'd have to be put back on the hold listen because renewals we're never allowed. This was super interesting though. I'd love a physical copy to go through and highlight.

OH MY GOD! You guys. This book was wild. The ride that it takes you on is crazy. I went into this with no expectations and it did not disappoint. I honestly don't even know why I checked it out from the library. I happened to walk past it (before they closed due to the virus) and just grabbed it. Thank you library gods for bringing me this book. From the first few pages I was hooked. Everything that could go wrong went wrong.

I am going to try and summarize this with as little spoilers as I can because there is just so much to this book and even the small details are important. Imaginary Friend is about this kid named Christoper who moves to a new town with his mom Kate after she flees her abusive boyfriend. Christopher is leaving school one day when he hears a voice and follows it into the woods and then disappears for 6 days! They look every where, he's just vanished. He just suddenly appears on the side of the road found by someone else very important to the story Mary Katherine. Christopher comes back better in every way. His dyslexia is mysteriously gone, he is some how almost all knowing and with it all of his families shitty luck. Things finally are looking up for Kate and her little boy until it's not. Next thing you know we are in a fight to save the world and our only hope his Christopher. Now I know that leaves a lot of the story out but unless you want me to tell you all of the plot points that's as spoiler free as I can get.

Imaginary Friend stressed me out so much but I loved every second of it. I don't read a lot of mystery/thriller/horror books (I'm working on that) and this was the best. There wasn't a single thing that I saw coming. Every time I thought I knew I was wrong. I spent the whole book stressed out and confused. It was perfect. There were a few things that bugged me which were mostly parenting decisions and the fact that all of the adults just acted like it was normal that Christopher just magically became the smartest person they've ever met.

I love the art. I need to find some of these with the more obscure people in them but this covers the basics.

I really love these.

This was weird and I honestly don't know what happened but I didn't hate it.

This was so cute!

I loved this so much. I haven't grinned this much while reading in a long time. I have lots of feels but mostly I love Redford Morgan. And Chloe is the most precious. I can't wait to read about Dani.

I cried. I've never read Little Women but this retelling was amazing.

Somewhere between 4-5. I like this one better than A Curse so Dark and Lonely.

Rhen is an imbecile and I love scary Grey. I'm ready for book 3 because I know it's gonna be full of Rhen making even more horrible choices and will make all my warm fuzzy feelings of this book die.

I was really unsure about the sister in the beginning but I like them. The entire group of friends is A+ .

I need to read Brigid Kemmerer's other books. Both of these took about 8 hours each for me to finish. I love quick reads and if her others flow like this I'm in.

I received a copy through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review

I don't feel comfortable giving this a star rating, which is how I generally feel about poetry books. Poetry is a lot more personal in my opinion which makes it even more subjective. I personally didn't connect with any of the poems but that doesn't mean this won't be for you.

Did I enjoy this? Yes. Did I only read it because of the show? Also yes. There is definitely stuff missing from the show but the show also has stuff from another one of the books as well. I still liked both. I'm obsessed with the show and I think it's a really good adaptation. I'll keep on with the series hopefully before the new season comes out but no promises.

This was cute. I felt it was a little lacking but I'm curious to see where the other volumes take it.

This was cute.

I really liked this. I went in knowing nothing. I checked it out because it was an available audiobook and I needed something to listen too but I'm glad I did. It was fast and easy to listen too.

detailed review to come maybe?

Why did I never think to listen to poetry instead of reading a physical copy. I love listening to it so much more. I really loved this collection and I've already recommended it to a few people.

I loved this so much. Classicism, racism, diversity, stereotypes, and bullies are just some of things that Jordan and his friends experience in middle school. This book is such a real life scenario for so many kids. If you like graphic novels and/or middle grade books read this.

I don't love this like everyone seems to. I like it, it's not bad for me but it's just kind of meh.
