I Love Book Thrifting (and You Can Too)
I took a book census the other day, and, out of the 100 or so books I have out on my shelves and around my room, forty of those are secondhand. I love buying used books, mainly for budget reasons, but it’s also fun to give new life and a new home to overlooked copies that are still quite readable.

Book Review: Gone Rogue
[image error]“Iko – an audacious android and best friend to the Lunar Queen Cinder – has been tasked with hunting down Al pha Lysander Steele, the leader of a rogue band of bioengineered wolf-soldiers who threaten to undo the tenuous peace agreement between Earth and Luna. Unless Cinder can reverse the mutations that were forced on them years before, Steele and his soldiers plan to satisfy their monstrous appetites with a massacre of the innocent people of Earth.
And to show he’s serious, Steele is taking hostages.
Cinder and Kai, Scarlet and Wolf, Cress and Thorne, and Winter and Jacin all feature in this epic new battle. But it is Iko who must face her deepest fears when she uncovers the truth about her own unusual programming.” (from Goodreads)
So after the delightfulness that was volume one, I was verrrry happy to get my hands on part two.

Top 5 Favorite Fictional Friendships
[image error]
Today’s genre is actually military fiction, but since I don’t read a lot in that genre, I’m switching it out for books with a focus on or portrayal of strong friendships.
Strong friendships are one of my favorite elements in books! The way people can affect, strengthen, and just be there for each other is really a gift from God.
“Friendship … is born at the moment when one man says to another “What! You too? I thought that no one but myself . . .”
― C.S. Lewis
Here are my favorite fictional friendships…

In Beautiful Blue Word by Suzanne LaFleur, Megs and Mathilde are friends so close I sometimes forgot they weren’t sisters. The trust and empathy they had for each other was very special.
