message 859: by Megan (new)

Megan (lahairoi) | 7470 comments Just completed #28 (song lyrics in title) - Fly Away by Kristin Hannah. Not as good as the first book, but it was still well-done! A continuation of the first in a signature Hannah style. Nice character development. My only criticism is that, while I appreciate that her characters don't always have good things happen to them, this seemed a bit extreme. Definitely worth reading! 4.5 stars

21. A book with your favorite color in the title. NYPD Red 5 by James Patterson and Marshall Karp


message 866: by Megan (new)

Megan (lahairoi) | 7470 comments Just completed #20 (book by local author - James Patterson) - Bullseye by James Patterson. Not my favorite book in this series. The improbable events all seemingly happening to involve a single detective is stretching the bounds of credulity at this point. And to keep stringing along the nanny after all she's been through and being oblivious to the troubles of his own kids is just annoying now. I'm really hoping the next book returns to the original snap of the series, or I might be through. Kinda worth reading. 3 stars

21/30 - favorite prompt from 2015 challenge - a graphic novel
Watchmen

Amazing. 5 stars. Intriguing, exhilarating, depressing. Moved me to tears in a way that a novel hasn't in such a long time. This was my first foray into graphic novels, on the suggestion of someone whose opinion I value greatly, and boy was he right. I want to write a review but I'll have to sleep on it.

Megan (lahairoi) | 7470 comments Just completed #27 (set on different planet) - Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas. Overall, I enjoyed this book. However, some of the plot twists are predictable, particularly after I read Maas' last series, Court of Thorns. There were a few interesting characters added, and I particularly like the witches. Definitely worth reading! 4 stars
