I got to meet the author of the Penderwick series and I got to ask questions like do you speak Latin because there was Latin in the Penderwicks? She said it was fun the add different languages into it but she doesn’t speak Latin. It was so cool to meet my favorite author in the world everyone should read her books and she has a new book The Library of Unruly Treasures

I gave this book 2 stars. The story was super predictable—I figured out the twist pretty early. But even though I knew what was coming, I still wanted to see how it all played out. The setting was creepy and the vibes were tense, which helped keep things interesting. It’s a quick read, and if you like thrillers with controlling-relationship drama, it might be your thing. For me, it just didn’t have anything new or surprising. I was hoping for more twists or deeper characters, but it was just okay. Not bad, but not great either.

So far i have read chapter one and i find it very enjoyable and it shows off the main character's personality a bit, the main problem/the main character's home life. we also get to see a friend :)

A look at the people who work in the warehouse and sales floor at a Target-like store. Amid the personal conflicts and friendships, the reader learns a bit about how the "back end" of this type of store works.

This book will tear your heart out and stomp on it. The author captures the experience of motherhood perfectly. Relevant today because of its depiction of historical events and its representation of the way people treat outsiders.

I loved this book. It was like a walk down memory lane as he describes the roles he did and his journey through Hollywood.

The fifth in a series is more fun than the past books because I know the area it takes place, and because I'm be to tarot. It's fun to learn about "magic" with historical references. A joy to read.

I liked this one. I had read Throne of the Fallen before starting this series and I really enjoyed it so I figured why not go back and try this one,

At first I thought this book was very silly but once I got about 1/2 way through it got better. I started to like Vera more and see her transform and develop.

The author harkens back to the time where actors and actresses were king and queen and movies were all the rage right before the horrors of World War II. This book, which I hope is the first in a cozy series, takes place during the filming of Hitchcock's famous movie Rebecca. The plot revolves around a young Hollywood script supervisor, Evelyn Galloway, who finds herself embroiled in a mystery surrounding the murder of an actor from the studio she is working at. With the help of her room mate and others actors, she finds herself in an adventure that evokes the time and place of the early 1940's. I had seen Rebecca a few times previously and now after reading this "behind the scenes" (albeit fictional portrayal of Hitchcock and the main actors), I want to see it again. The mystery has a great ending and Evelyn then accept a job working on another Hitchcock movie, The Foreign Correspondent, so I hope that means there will be a followup. Likeable characters and very interesting plot. I found myself googling various people and events in the story to gain more insight. A fun read overall!
