Fast paced, as is to be expected for a YA book. Would be a great intro to the genre.

It was just so interesting to see it from darkstalker’s perspective and see him slowly turn evil and it also make me feel bad for him aswell

It was mysterious adventure book . It's about a boy in a village with poisonous berries

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 audio book was filled with great care for people wanting to heal prickly relationships. The points shared can extend to all relationships, not just partner ones.

This book is really funny and amazing! It’s about a couple of high schoolers who develop super powers and try to save the world. There is a tiny bit of romance but it doesn’t really get too annoying for those who don’t love romance like me. It’s a fun read and I really enjoyed listening to it. I highly recommend this book!

Amazing book! Would recommend.

I don't give away spoilers in my reviews. I stumbled upon this book while searching my library's mystery shelves. I am a big fan of the Gilded Age and this sounded like a good read. Pamela Thompson is used to living richly and spending her time volunteering at charities. Unfortunately, her husband has foolishly spent their fortune in a scam. Pamela and her husband lose everything. Then Pamela loses her husband, Jack. She then takes over a boardinghouse that is one of her investments since she and her ward Brenda can live there. Pamela becomes a store detective at Macy's. This was my favorite part of the book. I loved reading about her training with Harry, the store setting, all of the items for sale back then. Pamela goes on to become a compation to Lydia Jennings, a rich woman who thinks there is something amiss with her household finances, staff, etc. I also loved the friendship that forms with Pamela's attorney boss, Prescott. I struggled to figure out who the murderer was - which is always a fun thing for a reader. I love the constant guessing game while reading a good mystery book. I plan on reading the other books in this series because I really liked how strong Pamela became while remaining a lady in those times. (from my Goodreads review)

A dense and beautifully written true crime/look into Italian police work. It felt grounded in the culture.

I had to read this after reading we were liars and felt like it was okay. I thought it followed the same type of trajectory and had many parallels to we were liars, just with the previous generation of Sinclairs. I think I liked Carrie’s POV better than the narration of we were liars, although both characters had their flaws and issues.
