The book you like most discussion
What is the last book you read, and how much did you rate it?
The Housemaid by Freida McFadden, 4 stars
The Infinite SeaI gave it three stars, it wasn't as good as the first book The Fifth Wave and was a bit unclear some of the time. Also the rats? Why did it seem like the characters spent chapters talking about the rats???
Local Woman Missing5* It grabbed you from the beginning and never let go. Great plot twists.
Caraval, overall for me is a 4.1. It took me over a MONTH to just pick it up and then it was boring for me in the beginning so I just reread the first 3-4 chapters over and over because I could NOT get into it. I have no idea why. But then I finished and I think 4.1 is reasonable. Maybe a little too much idk🤷♀️
Onyx storm - Rebecca yarros - 3 stars
grave matters by Karina Halle (⭐⭐⭐⭐)
Yesterday I read this one:Scotland Yard Photo Crimes, Volume 3: More Dastardly Crimes from the Files of Inspector Black of Scotland Yard
Henry Black
1 star!
The puzzles in here made no sense.
It said you are supposed to use the photos as clues but that made no sense to me as you had blood free victims with knives sticking out! A wrote a very detailed review.
I mean the no blood tells me the guy was already dead before he was stabbed?? But the puzzle doesn't support that idea. So why are we supposed to use the photos if the photos lead us to the "wrong" conclusion?
"The Fox Wife." By Yangsze Choo. 5 stars. The author did a really good job at transitioning between our primary and secondary protagonists. If you like murder mystery with a light dusting of fantasy, Motherly revenge, and pursuit you might like it too.
The secret messenger by Mandy Robotham I gave it 5 stars
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.
Last night I had finished:The Engines of God
Jack McDevitt
4 stars
Great story of space archeology and uncovering a new threat!
Discontent by Beatriz Serrano ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The last book I read was Love at first book and I gave it four stars.
The Change by Kirsten Miller. 5 stars because I thoroughly enjoyed it!!
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
I have finished:The Zuzu Secret
Miriam Chernick
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.
Rated ⭐⭐⭐⭐Don't Open Your Eyes by Liv Constantine
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
The Nightwalker - Sebastian Fitzek ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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
Hellraiser de Clibe BarkerLe coloco 5 estrellas, muy bueno
Our Share of Night by Mariana Enriquez. 4.5/5 stars.
The Secret of Secrets by Dan Brown 5/5 stars! That man has not lost his touch, go read it!
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
The Secret Lives of Color - Kassie St. Claire ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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.
From Darkness Into Light by A. Helena 4 Stars
Winterset Hollow by Jonathan Edward DurhamI gave it a 4.5
Winnie the Pooh meets The Purge
It happened on a Sunday by Tracy Wolff ⭐⭐⭐⭐
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.
