Every one of Rick Riordan’s books has been amazing and this one was really great. The story of the new camp for Roman half bloods was amazing and I loved the different perspectives. All of the narrators were likable. Overall highly recommend!

This was a very enjoyable book as are all of the Inspector Gamache books. The title is symbolic of all of us having light come in where we are broken.

I really enjoyed the plot in this book, it was unique. I liked Eileen and Anders and how they both love reading. I haven’t read too many books where the main characters love to read so I really enjoyed this one.

This book had a lot of animals in it. It was very creative. My favorite part was when they slid on the ice like a polar Bears. I also liked that it had facts on the back about polar bears.

Not one of my favorites of his. I really didn’t like reading a book within a book in this case (I generally do not mind but I didn’t like it here). I think the plot of this book didn’t really make much sense to me nor did I like the main character. The ending was just too bizarre too.

A quick and easy read that's part murder mystery, part comedy, with a dash of romance. Set in Italy, author Eleanor Dash is on a book tour with her sister/manager, her ex and book character Connor, her ex Oliver, and a host of other acquaintances/colleagues when it becomes clear that a member of their traveling group is planning to kill her, or Connor, or both of them. It's a twisty, funny, romp of a book; fun beach read.

I read this as part of an all school summer read. The two author voices create an authentic experience providing two perspectives. I appreciated the back and forth of two young people sharing vulnerabilities coming from different backgrounds, using a forgotten medium that allows for a mindfulness that I think young people could benefit from. I did think the novel attempted a lot with all the issues it covered.

Cute middle grade mystery. Gonna use some chapters as reading fluency passages for my special education reading class next year.

I read Shelterwood for a book club I am in. Were it not for the book club, I don't think I would have finished the book. The premise is promising. Two parallel timelines: 1908 follows Olive Augusta Radley, a pre teen girl who runs away from home in Oklahoma seeking a better life for her and her indigenous adopted sister, Nessa. 1990 Follows Valerie Borren O'Dell, a National Park Law Enforcement Officer who is new to Oklahoma and is trying to uncover a mystery. I found this book a chore to read. I was not invested in any of the characters, and it was honestly quite boring. I liked the premise, but overall not for me.

You will love this book if you like The Red Queen series and the Hunger Games. It is a great enemies to lovers novel, a wonderful adventure and a very addicting book.
