The writing in this is excellent, in my opinion. Wanda has drastically altered reality in that every hero gets what they've always wanted, per se, to be happy. There's lots of debate of whether it should be turned back, what should happen if they can't fix it, etc. Peter Parker's storyline is probably the most heartbreaking, but I'm biased.

Steve West is now my favorite narrator because he's absolutely amazing at what he does. But what an emotional ride this story was! There were a few times in there where I definitely thought it was completely over for everyone. Laini Taylor has created this fantastic, amazing world that's easy to get sucked into, with characters that you care about immensely.

The background of how Magneto rose to power in the House of M storyline, you get a lot of insight into why the world becomes the way that it is. The writing here is fairly strong, and the art is compelling. You don't need this to understand House of M, but if definitely helps!

I was sent this to be a part of the social media events for the Big Read Lakeshore! So, a full review will be coming in the next few weeks, so stay tuned!

Though this novel started a bit slow, there's lots to love about it. Especially when it comes to examining gender/power relationships. There are so many great quotes in this book, and Alex is a no nonsense character ready to fight for those that feel powerless. Bardugo's first foray into the adult section is a success!

2.5 stars

I am torn about this book because on the one hand, it's cute and a fast read and light-hearted, which is what I needed right now. On the other hand, it's a tad predictable and tends to gloss over some of the more complex issues that needed more discussion.

Don't get me wrong-- I have loved the other books I've read by Jenn Bennett (mainly Serious Moonlight and Lady Rogue) but there was just something that felt off about this one. Plus, how Bailey never put two and two together is beyond me. Someone who is praised for her observation skills should have figured it out sooner! Ugh.

Anyway, a cute read but probably not one I'd pick up again.

An excellent extension of the original novel--more to come in a full review later this week!

Well, I think Stephen Chbosky went as far from Perks of Being a Wallflower as he could. In a good way! I was hooked from the beginning of this as I absolutely had to know what was going to happen to these characters. Chbosky's writing shines through, and I particularly liked the way he portrayed dyslexia at the beginning. There's a lot to like about this book, and though it's long, it's definitely worth the read.

Johnson provides a lot of interesting information here, almost all of it I wasn't aware of. Just not my genre, as I found myself losing interest in some parts. But definitely interesting to see how we've progressed in the science world!

I read this whole book in one sitting, as is fitting for most of Tillie Walden's books. Not my favorite, but the artwork is still stunning and you can feel the emotions Walden struggles with growing up.
