The Wild Woman's Guide to Traveling the World by Kristin Rockaway

[Rosh ~catching up slowly~]

Upon a Starlit Tide by Kell Woods

Supposed to be an adult historical fantasy combining Cinderella and The Little Mermaid. but the writing style was a bit too YA for my liking. If you still want to try this, do NOT opt for the audio.

Runaway Groomsman by Meghan Quinn

[Rosh ~catching up slowly~]

Some lovely children's reads from NetGalley:
1. Disney Fairies 4 in 1 Vol. 4

I didn't like the first combo volume, but this one was a big hit at home. The graphic novel format works slightly mixed though.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

2. The Adventures of Penguin and Panda: In the Dark (Vol 4): A Graphic Novel

Not my favourite of the series, but a great graphic novel nonetheless.

3. Wanda Hears the Stars: A Blind Astronomer Listens to the Universe

An amazing and inspirational picture book about an actual blind astronomer.

The Day I Lost You by Ruth Mancini

[Billie's Not So Secret Diary]

A Mastery of Monsters by Liselle Sambury was one of those books I thought about DNFing, I didn't... But the story did get better, but wasn't great.

Soul of Shadow by Emma Noyes was a neat YA take on Norse Mythology.

Not bad.

3 Stars

[Billie's Not So Secret Diary]

All the Ash We Leave Behind by C. Robert Cargill was a decent addition to the series, but I wish there had been more pages to add those layers the other books created!

3 Stars

[Rosh ~catching up slowly~]

The Teacher of Auschwitz by Wendy Holden

Sounds like yet another typical WWII fiction with 'Auschwitz' in the title, but this one is surprisingly well handled.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Rosh ~catching up slowly~]

Every Hour Until Then by Gabrielle Meyer

This is the latest entry in one of my absolute favourite historical fiction series, and the author has continued to maintain her high standard.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Billie's Not So Secret Diary]

House of the Beast by Michelle Wong was a good story, and I could relate to how the MC felt growing up.

This is a book about sisterhood and madness - it's an absolute fever dream and so beautiful!

Mad Sisters of Esi

[Billie's Not So Secret Diary]

Mistress of Bones by Maria Z. Medina was ok. It didn't have the 'action' I was expecting.

a low

Sheepdogs by Elliot Ackerman , while it was interesting, it was still a flop... Not that funny or action-packed.

When novels are failing me left, right and centre, graphic novels are turning out to be the rainbows! Absolutely loved these three:

1. Pacheco and the Witch of the Mountain: A Graphic Novel by Juan E. Zambrano

A middle-grade graphic novel with an aspiring "boy witch".
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

2. The Lost Sunday by Iléana Surducan

After a long, long time, a book earned the full five stars from me. This graphic novels is meant for kids and adults alike.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

3. The Fairy Tale Fixers: Cinderella: A Graphic Novel by Deborah Underwood

This one is perfect for younger kids who love fractured fairy tales.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Billie's Not So Secret Diary]

The Bone Raiders by Jackson Ford didn't have a lot of 'fire-breathing lizard action as I'd hoped! Plus, it was a slow read.

2 Stars

Sentence: Stories by Mikhail Iossel

A collection of one-sentence stories that simply didn't come together.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Rosh ~catching up slowly~]

Rewitched by Lucy Jane Wood

The best thing about this cozy fantasy was probably the cover. Mine is an outlier review.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Billie's Not So Secret Diary]

Lord of Ruin by K.M. Enright had a decent plot, but it was slow, but worse was the 'adult content'. I knew it was going to be there because it was in the first, but even though I skipped it, it made the story even slower.

Mostly because of the chance of porn, I don't care to read the next book in the series.

I read 31 Days of Spooky for NetGalley's Camp badge as it was the only one on their limited selection that I could see myself trying to read...

The short (telling) stories were ok, but more suitable for readers around ten or so.

Michael Without Apology by Catherine Ryan Hyde

Such a beautiful book, which shouldn't be a surprise considering who the author is. Much recommended despite the dragged ending.

Just finished Up Against the Ropes. Contemporary. Romance.

Nicholas Sparks with M Night Shyamalan?!?! Now that's a combination I never thought I would see! 😃 Hope the book is good.

The Ex-Wives Club by Sally Hepworth

The second story of the Alibis collection works much better a a domestic suspense than as a thriller. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Billie's Not So Secret Diary]

Voidwalker by S.A. MacLean was a good story, but ruined by the multiple 'open door' scenes and a few unfinished explainations.

My first T. Kingfisher, and it didn't disappoint!

Hemlock & Silver


My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Rosh ~catching up slowly~]

The weakest two stories of the Alibi collection are the middle two stories.

Story #3: False Note by David Lagercrantz

I don't know if anything was lost in translation, but I didn't like this much.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Story #4: The Skydivers by Chris Bohjalian

The ending makes this among the worst short stories I have ever read.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Billie's Not So Secret Diary]

A Mother's Guide to the Apocalypse by Hollie Overton wasn't the best read, but it was ok.

2 Stars

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Billie's Not So Secret Diary]

The Good Vampire's Guide to Blood & Boyfriends by Jamie D'Amato is a cute YA cozy, but also talks about attempted s... So maybe more suitable for mature YA readers or a group read.

This Is Happiness by Niall Williams

One of the most beautifully written books I have ever read, even though it has a minimal plot. A great option for literary fiction lovers.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Bed Chemistry
Cute romcom

[Rosh ~catching up slowly~]

Two of the better stories in the Alibis collection.

Story #5: Good Neighbors by Chad Zunker

The only "thriller" in the entire set.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Story #6: Small Things by Wanda M. Morris

I'd have liked it even better had the ending contained some crucial details.

More Than Chemical by Leanne Farella

[Billie's Not So Secret Diary]

The Curse of Gods by Kate Dramis is a great conclusion to this series! Blew the first two books out of the water!

4 Stars

The Whispers by Ashley Audrain

A domestic drama. Not as good as the author's debut work, but a good (dark) entertainer.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Billie's Not So Secret Diary]

Born of an Iron Storm by Anthony Ryan was a slow read... Multiple characters over an extended timeline (a year or more?) More telling than showing.

Doubt I'll read the next.

[Billie's Not So Secret Diary]

House of Dusk by Deva Fagan I like this story and the narrator did a great job, but had I re-read the blurb before starting the audio, I don't think I would've enjoyed it as much.

4 Stars

[Rosh ~catching up slowly~]

A Twist of Fate by Se-ah Jang

This contemporary mystery could have been as outstanding as the cover, but either the writing style or the translation (or possibly both) fail.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Billie's Not So Secret Diary]

The Honorable Con by Michele C. Shaw is not a bad story, and I would like to read the next.

3 Stars

⭐⭐⭐.8 for #1 in the Sandy Harbor series, All the Ways You Save Me by Melissa Wiesner https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

The Bourne Escape

4 stars
Read as an ARC from NetGalley
Jason Bourne is back and close to canon.

I've just downloaded
The Peculiar Incident at Thistlewick House
Jenni Keer

Can anyone tell me why, when I send the book to my kindle, the book's cover doesn't always come in? Thanks in advance. I find it annoying when I'm writing a review.

I'm also facing same issue in most of the books. In addition, what I read in Kindle Paperwhite is not getting synced with Mobile app.
