I love her book and this one can be read as a standalone

[Rachel]

I finished one of my books, The Winter People. OMG I loved it. Perfectly unsettling! A great snowy weather book.

[Karen D]

Finished , it was pretty good! Big on conspiracy theory but with a bit of suspension of disbelief it was really enjoyable.

[Theo]

Finished , not particularly impressed. It just felt heavy-handed, like the author was telling you what to believe and not letting the story do it for him.

I finished my alternate genre choice yesterday. It was my first steampunk book. It was a steampunk/supernatural/romance mix. I wasn't too sure about it because I don't really do romance anymore, and I'm over vampires, but still liek werewolves. It turned out to be very interesting. I'll give steampunk another try.
I give it 3 stars.
I'm now starting on my first pick

[⚜️XAR]

I've finished both of my picks for the month! Both were pretty good reads, though A Merciful Death was the better of the two! Thanks for the picks, Jonquil!

Anna dressed in blood is really fun! I wanna read the next books in the series,

[Jodi]

Finished my first pick . Brenda Novak is one of my favorite authors. I gave this a 4-star rating.

[Esther]

Skandia,

I have finished and . The City and the Stars was great to tick-off as a must-read classic - lots of interesting pieces that give context to later developments in science fiction. Half of a Yellow Sun was tragic and exquisite. Such a beautiful and heart-breaking take on the Biafran War.

I am half-way through . Another great pick. Beautiful dystopian fiction and I like how she tells it through the disjointed time-lines.

[Sophie]

I have finished and absolutely loved it! Easy 5 stars. Now onto Harry Potter!!

I'm so glad you liked it. I keep introducing Jennifer McMahon to everyone I know. I really enjoy her books. If you like the spooky aspect try The Night Sister or Dismantled

[Chelle_Rydz]

I rated it 4 stars. Definitely recommend. I see that we rate things similarly so I think you will like it :)

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Ok. I read chapter 1 last night. I couldn't resist. Thanks Jenn

[Jodi]

I read my second pick, , 1/26/17. I gave it ***, it was a good book but it didn't strike me as fantastic. It kind of lagged a bit for me, maybe it was the heavy topic.

I did not get to read the last recommendation because the title did not come in at the library; I am still on the waiting list. It is on my TBR.
