it was very moving but also very sad. I enjoyed it!

Thank you to Angela Mi Young Hur, Kensington Publishers and Goodreads for a copy of The Loom Tree. I don't give away spoilers in my reviews. The first thing I saw when I read the inside cover was "You Always Wanted Magic to be Real"which intrigued me to read further. I am a new to fantasy reader (past year or so) and love discovering new to me authors. V is the daughter of Sharon and this book is told in two POVs. Sharon's story takes up most of the book. Sharon's story begins when she was a Korean American teenager entering Alvsdahl - an exclusive East Coast college. Sharon isn't sure where she fits in - like most teenagers, including V many years later. I did like the college setting and the other characters - especially Fitch. I liked seeing each girl develop into an adult and loved the family connections. I just felt lost so many times in reading this book. I struggled to keep all of the details straight and many times I could not figure out if the page I was reading was about Sharon or V's POV. I think if the chapters were titled Sharon or V, it would have helped me. I grew pretty frustrated. That said, it is a magical story and the story of how the Loom Tree constantly evolves was interesting. (from Goodreads)

I loved this book a lot. It really shows how there really is no such thing as good or bad hair, and that hair doesn't have to be straight to look nice.

This was a really good book in the TBH series by Lisa Greenwald!

Super cute friends to lovers romance! Carley Fortune’s books are always adorable and engaging love stories that I don’t want to put down! Both Frankie and George were likable characters and the setting of the book sounded gorgeous!

I read this as an audiobook with my 2 kids, it was fine. I think that I relate to the mom. She always tries so hard and yet it’s never appreciated. Just like me. I’m the best! Just like Susan heffly!

This book was too slight, too predictable, to recommend. Banville has a wonderful way with a turn of phrase but that is as much credit as I can give him. Every single chapter features the main character meeting a new character, having a single conversation with them, then leaving. Usually in a single location. Saw the end of the book coming from the first pages. Kind of a bummer.

I really liked how funny it was. As well as how the 2 characters bonded in the end

A cute short story romance. I loved the narrators and their accents.

Loved this book!! It is very thought provoking and encourages you to reflect on what having true faith means in your life.
