I love this book so much more than the first one. I how it talks about being scared of something but not letting it stop you from trying it. Life is a scary thing but is so beautiful at the same time. 

There's something about the way that Angelina M. Lopez writes her female main characters that really just speaks to me. They are messy and falling apart, don't have all their shit together. I loved the couple and build to them. The tension and longing was strong. 

This was a cute book. Is what I needed to read on a bad day. I love Garlic & Carrot relationship.  This book uses inclusive language, simple sentences, cute illustrations that is perfect for early readers. 

When I read this book I had a bad news. So at first I was not going to finish it but I did and I am happy I did.  It's impossible to put into words exactly how this book made me feel. It was one of the most heartbreaking yet beautiful love stories that I had reading. 

I love this book with a plus size Latina woman who doesn't hate herself because she's fat. And Gabe parents is something I try to been with my son. To read about Gabe and how is parents show him how to be a better person. This book has positive Latine representation that I know we as a community need. It has a solid couple who are self-aware enough to be good, supportive partners, friends, and siblings. It has a positive bro group and found family. 

This was a good book showing how family fights but sometime the love of family is stronger. I did wanted to fight the adults but then I look back at how the adults in real was when I was growing up. This was a good book and so happy to read it.

At first I didn't care for the family story but it got good in the end. I did enjoy more Peyote then the family. Happy I got to read this story. 

 Grieving the murder of her sister and her sister's boyfriend made Greer so down. It been years and she still have not happy in live. But when two teens are killed in her hometown with similarities to her sisters' murder Greer is now questioning everything. It's time to go home and get some answers! And the answer was not what she thought at all. 

 I was intrigued by Maggie being a Domme, but I wasn't sure if I could enjoy Beau, the main male character. But I shouldn't doubted Sara Cate work of art in making character development. it was a good book. You have to read the other's book before you read this one.

 Great book, I wish I would have read this a long time ago when I was in middle school but I am happy that I read it. I can't wait for my son to read it. I'm not big on reading Greek myths. But this made me want to read more Greek myths books. The sort of twist at the end was fantastic! 

wow this was a amazing book and is a debut YA Horror novel.  A deal with a pulsating river of blood you've said more that enough. The payoff is really satisfying and plays to well-established themes throughout: power, rejection, loss, loneliness, betrayal, surrender and retribution. 

It was a bit dry for me. I tried to read it with different ways to read a book.(ebook, audiobook, physical book) But I couldn't get into the story at all. I see on other websites that I am not the only one who thinks like that. 

This book was so great. I had a lot of family/friends who passed away this year so this was a amazing book for me to see who others handle grief. I did had some tears come down. So glad that Maddie got to grief the way she should and not how others think she should. Great book to read.

I got a ARC for my honors opinion so here it is. 

I'm not one to read too much of historical romance but this book was so wonderful to read. The beginning did had a bit of a rocky start but it ended up being a wonderful book. I do wish we got a bit more for the ending. But overall it was a wonderful book. 

I do enjoy reading Edgar Allan Poe stories. I get why everyone loves his works. pit and pendulum as metaphors for the psychological state of being trapped between two bad choices, it makes sense in much less dramatic situations than the one he chose.

This book was so good. I read it for two reason one for the #readformaui and for #23for23 I did get a bit emotional. I wanted to kill the a$$ who did that to them all. And the ending had me thinking so much. This was a good book to read. I don't even have the words to describe just how deeply I adored this gorgeous, magical, healing story! And the COVER is so beautiful. 

I enjoy this book but I still love the first book. I did like that the kids had a bit of more help from the adults. There are also several plot twists that may surprise younger readers, but that experienced fantasy readers will see coming a mile away. 

 SOLITO was such an emotional read for me. Javier Zamora was nine when he made the long journey to join his parents in America, unaccompanied by anyone he knew. Everything he went through so much. The prose of the book is immaculate as you are able to understand the innocence of a kid in the most difficult circumstances. The accuracy and translation of the Salvadorean slang used in this book brought me to the roots of my own heritage, and also recognize the way Spanglish can be utilized in modern works. 

I never hear of a Death Doula and I love that this is a thing. As a HHA I feel like we need to talk more about death. I will be looking into a death doula. And I had a lot of death in the pass few months. Clover has been faced with death several times in her young life but the death of her grandfather is the one that rocked her world. 

I enjoy this book. It was dark magic and a gay book too so yes I read it. And yes I do see Simon and The Raven Boys mix in this great book.

I love Werewolf books. And so happy I got to read this book. And get to see a different perspective of werewolf and how they turn into one. It was a enjoyable experience to read. 

I hate the main character but I guess we all hate her lol. This was a wonderful book. RFK is a fantastic writer and skillfully navigates the loneliness and pressure authors feel, making the drastic decisions juniper makes feel somewhat morally grey rather than outright wrong

This is my favorite book so far.  The storyline was wonderful and my god I wish I could read it all over again. I loved how they visited various clubs and how they learned more about themselves after each one. 

 Holy crap this book was amazing. I loved Garrett so much. Mia was so right for him. Mia was a pleasant surprise for me too. She's unapologetic and unashamed to be who she is. She knows what she wants, and she owns her life, and her curvy body. Love her so much.

 I love the premise of this book. Throwing yourself a coming out party to tell everyone how bi you are? Perfect. And Mahalia has to work to save up the money for it. But feel like the ending was it bit rush.
