A bit odd. I'm not sure I fully understood the plot. Then again, I have a cold, so my brain is a bit muddled. I think it was an interesting idea though, if not fully executed.
The Law of Attraction: The Basics of the Teachings of AbrahamFive Stars
I've had this sitting on my shelf for a long, long time. Whatever you think of Esther Hicks' methods, I felt that this book had an overall positive message.
After the WeddingFinished 1/28/19
3 1/2 Stars
I loved the characters in this novel. They were really engaging. However, given the time period of this romance, I felt that the views regarding race relations were a little too modern. Although, to be fair, Milan did try to deal with some of the problems in British society at the time, I just don't think she went far enough.
But again, I loved the characters and their journey.
Victory ConditionsFinished on: 2/26/18.
4 Stars
I'm finished with this series at last! The ending was vaguely unsatisfying, but otherwise the book was up to Elizabeth Moon's usual standard. I wonder if the Vatta's Peace series will pick up directly after this one? I think I'll take a break from Kylara, though. I don't want to get burned out on the characters.
Guys! I finally finished another book in my TBR, after long last. This was pretty good, overall. The main character was almost too competent for a 17 year old, but she had her vulnerabilities, so I suppose it does balance out. Three Stars, not quite 4 stars.
Oh, my gosh! Guys, guys...I finished a book! I can't believe it. This has been a hard year for me so far, so I haven't been able to focus on reading as much as I'd like to. But, I'm back!The Countess Conspiracy

Yay! I'm back. This year has just been a bear, personally. But! One more off the TBR pile. I think I got this...last year sometime? Three Stars. Not bad, but could be better.

Thank you. I might be able to finish two more books before the end of the year. :)
Heroes at RiskWell, Goodreads says I read this book way back in 2009, but I have absolutely NO memory of it. Weird. So I'm counting it. :)
Apparently, past-me gave this book 4 stars. It's still 4 stars.
