It was hard to put down! A lot of information revealed and tons of action!

Percy Jackson is back! This time, instead of going on quests he’s explaining some of the Greek Gods! With sarcasm and humor of course. This book is hilarious and if you’ve read the Percy Jackson series (all the series’) then read this!

Goodreads review - Thank you to Charlie Donlea, Between the Chapters Book Club and Kensington Publishers for an ARC of Guess Again. I don't give away spoilers in my reviews. I am a HUGE fan of Charlie Donlea's because he writes a mystery unlike any other author I've come across. I've read everything he's written. Thankfully I don't retain books well so I can always go back and reread in a couple of years. Guess Again has many characters in a Wisconsin setting. Ethan Hall is an ER doctor after he resigned as a detective who had a 100% solve rate for the crimes he investigated. He's contacted by Pete Kramer, his old partner to help solve a cold case involving a teen who vanished. That teen, Callie Jones, is the now governor Mark Jones' daughter. Ethan agrees to take a look at the case in his spare time. Ethan discovers details about the case that didn't come to light during the initial investigation. Ethan is also a victim of crime - his father was a police officer who was murdered. There are so many details and characters that I always wonder how it will all come together - especially as more details continue thoroughout the storyline. But, Mr. Donlea always brings everything all together in the ending. I also sincerely appreciate that he explains all the details in the ending so there aren't any confusing loose ends. Again - as with all of Mr. Donlea's books, I was NOT able to figure out whodunit. That's also why I enjoy his books so much. I don't want to give away the ending but I will say that I gasped twice at things revealed. Best ending yet.

A breazy, but thought-provoking quick read. For me, the right balance between the farcical and the fantastic as I always want to believe that good will win out of evil. Recommend

Intrigue at an elite all girl's school in Scotland. Very creative and haunting.

Translated from Italian, this gives the impression (possibly mistaken) that all disagreements are settled by repeatedly hitting and punching those who disagree. The brilliant friend drops out of school, marries wealth, becomes unrecognizable, but is perhaps brilliant.

This book was amazing. I wasn’t sure that it would be because it’s not like my usual, dystopian. But this book was really good it was surprisingly similar to Ban This book, by Alan Gratz. It really just seemed to be the teen version of that book. One difference was that in Ban This Book most of the book is focusing on the library itself but this book mainly focuses on the consequences of the library, good or bad. One thing that I would recommend would be to read some of the books mentioned in this one because most of the time I was confused because it was talking about and using similes between that book and this one. If I could turn back in time then I would 100% read the other books that include Don’t Tread On Me. The book is mainly focused on.

Entertaining read about 1920's small town life.

This book is always amazing. I love how neatly the facts about Greek mythology is woven into the story! Just from reading it I have somehow become the Greek mythology expert in the family. Another on of my favorite parts if’s the chapter names like “ I become supreme lord of the bathroom” and “ We learn the truth, sort of” there so funny compared to other authors chapter titles are so creative ( that was sarcasm) 1,2,3,4. Of course just the book itself is awesome the way that Rick Riorden writes, he writes with so much emotion and internal feeling like when Percy’s mother “died” fighting the Minotaur.

First time reading this author's work and although it was a pleasurable story, it was more like a light summer read to me. The premise is that Veronica found out that she was adopted through a DNA test kit given to her by her sister for Christmas. She suspected as such since her high school years but never spoke of it until now. Her adopted family thought it would be good to visit the countries that she was related to and her father paid for a trip arranged by her sister to Ireland, France Italy and Denmark. There are elements of fantasy throughout which you had to go with, but it was a very predictable story . I will rate it 3 stars, but I think the author could have made the book more interesting by giving more background on the characters and on Veronica's relationship with Jonathan previous to her trip.
