This book is the last book in a franchise about aliens fighting a hostile alien race in order to save the world. I highly recommend it for science fiction readers.

Amazing book 10/10 recommend

AMAZING BOOK, 100 STARS!!!! Just read it! It’s awesome. This book consists of 2 novellas about a SecUnit, who calls itself Murderbot. This book is awesome read the entire series!

Not the best Guido adventure, but a surprising one. The ending I did not expect. Donna sets the scene - I feel as if I have lived in Venice!

I had bought this at Goodwill after seeing it everywhere and hadn’t gotten around to reading it. When I heard it was going to be a TV show, I rushed to read it so I could watch the show. I had high hopes but it wasn’t at all what I was expecting. I didn’t love the characters which made it hard to get super into. I’m glad I read it and I’m going to watch the show still, the book just wasn’t what I was expecting.

I enjoy Sepetys books. She always does a nice job weaving history into her stories and this one is no different. It offers an interesting glimpse into life in New Orleans in 1950.

Intrigue at a resort with a lot of surprises. Has a magical aspect that adds to the real life mystery.

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.

Thank you to Kathleen Kaufman, Between the Chapters Book Club and Kensington Publishers for an ARC of The Entirely True Story of the Fantastical Mesmerist Nora Grey. I don't give away spoilers in my reviews. I knew I had to read this book based on the title alone. And, yes, Nora Grey is fantastic as a character and so much more. I do want to note how much I enjoyed the author's dedication and author notes - both gave me so much info as well as made me laugh. Nora (originally Nairna) and her father Tavish (always goes by Tavish) are fraudsters. Tavish is charming and could sell anyone anything. Nora is not as much as a fraudster but doesn't understand her psychic gifts. She's so used to living on the streets with her father, eating trashed food and feeling starved most of the time. She also feels guilty about tricking people while reading her grandmother's seer cards for them. Nora is discovered by a woman who sees Nora's psychic gifts and the strength of those gifts. She brings Nora -and Tavish, partly - into her home to help Nora hone her skills. Unfortunately, women with psychic gifts were often considered witches and were frowned upon in society during the time of Nora's lifetime. Nora and her father often clash and I found their relationship one of the most intriguing thoroughout the story. She loves her father but is tired of providing for him then feels guilty for not appreciating the little he does for her. There are many characters that were easy to like/dislike that added to Nora's story. I don't give away spoilers. I will say I loved Nora becoming stronger in her gifts and I really loved how serious she was about being honest. The second half of the book finds Nora and Tavish in a new setting which I loved reading about. I was - I hate to use the word mesmerised - by her readings, the settings, the things doctors would do and the people who helped her. There is a dual POV with Nora and Lottie, Tavish's mother thoroughout the book. I also loved Lottie but felt sad for her with most of her story. Wonderful read for anyone who believes - and doesn't believe - in mesmerists, psychics, etc. I loved the ending as well. from my Goodreads account

I loved how, even though Aurthor is super strong, he still has to get even stronger if he wants to protect himself and those he loves. This is because on a field trip to a dungeon while in Xyrus academy, he falls into the lower regions coming across one of the 6 strongest people in his continent who was currently dying. This just shows how much more he had to grow if he wanted to stop the Retainer, from another continent, who killed a Lance
