Escape From A Video Game is a fun interactive book that plays out like a video game. It is really fun to read and I recommend this to anyone who likes interactive books where your choices impact the story. This book also has some humor with it.

This book messed with my head in the best possible way. Last night I was scared while laying in bed and tonight my jaw on the ground. I haven’t had such a reaction to a book in a while and I LOVED IT! This was the perfect mix of horror and psychological thriller.

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.

I don't give away spoilers in my reviews. I am admittedly not usually the reader who loves fantasy but I knew from reviews that I wanted to read When the Tides Held the Moon by Venessa Vida Kelley. The cover is eye-catching with the graphic of Benny and the merman. I loved the oceanic colors used for it. Benny is on his own in life after losing his aunt. He has come to America and is working as a blacksmith. Benny has difficulties with his breathing and being in an environment such as a metal shop really affects his health. Benny is a talented blacksmith and his art is noticed by the owner of one of the local amusement parks - Luna Park in Coney Island. Benny is hired to build a large tank for a new exhibit and isn't told of all the details. Benny finds himself becoming attached to the new exhibit - a real merman from the ocean. I loved Benny's compassion and moral struggles within himself and with the merman. The other characters in the book that make up the menagerie were also such a great group of characters to read about. My two favorite parts in this book were the illustrations and the storyline. The illustrations added to the story and worked together with the cover. I usually don't read much fantasy but this was such a good story. (from my Goodreads review)

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

Wonderful book on natural home, beautiful photos, and well designed.

This is now one of my favorite books and definitely one of my favorite nonfiction books. It explains what book banning is, why it’s currently bad and getting worse, and what to do about it. It addresses book banning and explains some of the ridiculous reasons why books have been banned. It is written by authors whose books have been banned. This book is filled with book recommendations and resources. This book also gives tips on how to help stop book banning in your community and explains what the world loses when a book is banned. This book is so amazing and is definitely a must-have in every place in the world. I would recommend this book to everyone who loves and cares about books.

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.

I just love her books, but this one wasn't quite as good as the other 2.

I really liked it but it was a bit boring at times but my favorite was being able to see how ivy reacted to sunny who was a former protagonist
