This was an excellent ending to a series I've been reading for 8 years! I loved being reunited with these characters one last time and everyone's story ended in the way I thought it should have. I cried, it was adventurous and bizarre, and 830 pages flew by!

Again, awesome book that contains 2 novellas about Murderbot, the SecUnit that hacked its government module that just wants to watch TV shows. Read all the book! It’s awesome!

This book was not my thing. There wasn’t a lot going on, it wasn’t very long, and it just wasn’t something I enjoyed.

This is non-fiction. Stephen was four year old in 1942 when he was deported from German occupied Guernsey. He and his parents were sent to a prison camp where they all survived for three years. After the war they returned to their home which had been taken over by another family. Stephen relates the events he remembers.

Loved it!

Just wish that she had made it a bit more emotional.

I don't give away spoilers in my reviews. I am a fan of Ms. Wiseman's writing - specifically, all the research she does to write her books. I did not know much about the coal industry at all. I feel like I have a pretty good grasp of it after reading Coal River. I love historical books because I like to learn while I read. Emma is a young woman who once lived in Coal River. She's vowed to never return for very good reason. After becoming an orphan years later, she finds herself back in Coal River at her Uncle Otis' home. He is the local coal mine owner and a brutal, harsh man. Her Aunt Ida only wants Emma in the home to provide free maid duties. Emma has a past history with her cousin Percy and is not happy to live in their home. Emma has maid duties as well as store clerk duties in the coal mine's general store. She begins to learn about the coal mine and how its employees are treated. Most upsetting to her is how young the breaker boys are and how dangerous their jobs are. I don't give away spoilers so I'll just say this was a spectacular, emotional read that is so well written. I was often sad while reading it, but also found a lot of hope in Emma.

This is a heart-warming story about a struggling high school teacher who meets two children in need of a caring parent.

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.

This is an amazing sequel to Growing Pangs which follows Katie through the tough path of growing up. Katie has started learning to manage her OCD and is going to try out for the musical Annie. Then, she realizes she has a crush on a girl. But her church is filled with people who say that being gay or bisexual is bad and a sin. They also say that girls are meant to simply help the men. Katie has to push through and learn that they can’t tell her who she can’t be and that she has to shine as her own person. This is an amazing book and I would recommend it to anyone.
