Claire Harris Stone, a rich socialite living in Manhattan,leaves her abusive husband. She eventually lives in Paris during WWII.

This is a great sequel to The Storm Runner. This book centers around Maya and Aztec mythology. There is the tiniest bit of romance that sneaks in, but it’s very funny and the romance gets covered up. Mostly. :)

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 a book series about aliens that come from the planet Lorien. When the Loriens were really young, Lorien was attacked by Mogadorians, another alien race. The elders of Lorien placed a charm on the Loriens so they could only be killed in a certain order and the charm would only break when they came together. After placing the charm, the elders sent the young Loriens to Earth to wait until Lorien was ready for them to return. However, Mogadorians came to Earth to kill the Loriens. Now, they need to survive. This is a science fiction/dystopian series and I would recommend it to anyone.

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.

I really liked reading about other characters and this book unlocked so much lore but I did kinda miss the protagonists but I liked that there were appearances from starflight and snowfall who are both protagonists and they did mention winter too

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.

Solid story, but not her best. Still a fun read.

In The Power of Regret, Daniel H. Pink challenges the idea that we should live with "no regrets." Instead, he argues that regret is not only normal but essential to living a meaningful, thoughtful life. Drawing on research from psychology, neuroscience, and a global survey of regrets, Pink shows that regret can clarify what we value, sharpen our decision-making, and help us grow. Rather than avoiding regret, we should listen to it, learn from it, and use it as a tool for improvement. He identifies four core types of regret that people around the world commonly experience: 1. Foundation Regrets – “If only I had been more responsible…” 2. Boldness Regrets – “If only I had taken the chance…” 3. Moral Regrets – “If only I had done the right thing…” 4. Connection Regrets – “If only I had reached out…” By recognizing these patterns, we can make better choices going forward and deepen our relationships, careers, and personal growth. Ultimately, The Power of Regret flips the script: regret isn’t a weakness—it’s a powerful human emotion that, when handled well, helps us live more intentionally and become better versions of ourselves.

Quick and easy, heart warming read. Man, Emily Henry gets you at the end and tugs at your emotions. Two unlikely people come together, and bond over their history. Adorable love story!
