A Rulebook for Restless Rogues by Jess EverleeMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is a marvelous follow up to the Gentleman's Book of Vices, and a great standalone, with cameos from Charlie and Miles. Find the full review here.

Great story of space archeology and uncovering a new threat!
Just finished the Gingerbread Bakery by Laurie Gilmore. as a children's book author my latest title out soon is called Nutmeg Joins the Circus and Nutmeg the Elf lives in a Gingerbread house so I felt I wanted to stick with the theme. its definitely an adult book and a little spicy 🌶 haha!
I just finished Will's Race for Home
Jewell Parker Rhodes
5 stars!
I just loved this very exciting story that takes place after the civil war as Will travels with his father to hopefully get 160 acres of free land in Oklahoma. Lots of danger. And Will learns to be a man.

More guys need to learn to be a man nowadays

5 stars!
This family drama is focused on 12-year-old Josie and her disabled 15-year-old brother Abe, who has Prader-Willi syndrome. Josie wants to volunteer at the vet's clinic during the summer and she has a secret pet bearded lizard, but she has to take care of her brother (who causes so much drama in the house). I was totally captivated by this middle grade novel. I read this whole book in one sitting. The lesson in here is you can't always get the things you want instantly, you have to be patient and wait. Lots of secret keeping going on in here too, which leads to problems.

That most definitely is true: they need to learn to be men. Young Will was scared but he dug deep inside to find courage and it was in part because he had a role model. So boys need an appropriate role model so they can learn. To inspire them.
I just finished Willa of Dark Hollow
Robert Beatty
5 stars!
This sequel was better and more powerful than the original book. It's set in the Great Smoky Mountains and is about a nature spirit named Willa who tries to save her forests from loggers. The two groups don't understand each other at all. Reading this made me misty eyed. It's historical fantasy fiction. Also a kid's book too.
Note the story is rather glum and spooky too. If you are looking for a creepy October read maybe this? Scary weird creatures in here in the woods.
This is the second book in a two book series.
The first book is Willa of the Wood
I have now finished Walt Disney's Donald Duck: Donald Duck Finds Pirate Gold
Carl Barks
4 stars
Entertaining and a change of pace
Many of these are related to World War II.
When you look like your passport picture, it’s time to go home by Erma Bombeck. A funny travel book. 4 stars
Just finished rereading The Charm Bracelet by Viola Shipman. Rated is 5 stars like last time. Highly recommend
I finished "When I fall for you" two days ago & i rate it 4/5🌟.Loved the Story, really cute & a bit of drama:)
Alchemised!!! 75 pages from the end, but it's a 6 star for me. one of the greatest books I've ever read!!! Heading back to it now!!!
The book I loved most recently was Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros. It is a high-stakes romantasy: dragons, magic, war, and heartbreak. I love the themes of trust and betrayal; sacrifice for the greater good; redefining home and family. Every character contributes meaningfully—emotionally, tactically, politically. Ann
The Last Letter- Rebecca Yaros I gave it 6 stars, would NOT recommend this and I was absolutely gutted and broken. That being said, still loved it
I gave 3 stars to :
And I did not give more because despite the charachters are very well crafted, the plot was nothing original. Very trite one. And very predictible ending.
Very late last night I had finished The Silence of the White City
Eva García Sáenz
5 stars!
This was a very detailed, well planned murder mystery about a serial killer in Spain, in the city of Victoria. Very complex plot. Lots of character development and back stories too.
Definitely recommend.
Human Flesh: A Wendigo Thriller by Nick ClausenFive stars. Born of the Winds, The Wendigo. An epistolary tale.
I just finished The Water Rituals
Eva García Sáenz de Urturi
5 stars
I actually enjoyed this book more than the first one.
I did guess the killer very early on but then there were a few other twists at the end that did surprise me..
I think part of me enjoying this one more was the fact I was now familiar with the way things work in Spain - I understood it better (while the first book was a crash course in the society / culture)..
The main character also faced a disability in here.
The killer was more human so you could understand the person better.
All of that made a better book.
But you need to read book #1 first.
The Picture of Dorian Gray Here's my review and link to an Irish Times article that might change your view of Wilde after reading it.
