A good YA fantasy story, it dragged in the middle, but had a good beginning and end. Magic and female empowerment and adventure and a bit of romance, too.

Time-travel-ish queer mystery romance. A unique and immediately engaging story. One review I heard said it well when they compare this to "the Time Travelers wife" but with lesbians on a NY subway. Loved it.

Cute and unique YA book - definitely on the younger side of YA. It broke the 4th wall too often for my liking but it's cleverly written I bet I would have loved this book when I was 10.

Ooo i love a good historical fiction mystery/romance with a heavy use of flashbacks to fill in all the blanks of the story.

This reminded me a bit of "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" - similar era, and both based around the life and challenging relationships of a movie starlet.

I love start of this new series by Darynda Jones. Police mystery (kidnapping, murder) with a bit of a racy edge.

It has some of the playful edges of Jones' Charlie Davidson series, but with a strong mother-daughter connection and police chief angle similar to J.A. Jance's series about Joanna Brady. Both are series I love, so I think I'll love this one, too

I really liked this one. It has a lot of the same elements of other Moriarty novels (school-aged moms, troubled marriages, based in Australia lots of switching perspectives and flashbacks), but this one is a different kind of mystery, more thought provoking and unique. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

A nice short story about a small town football legacy and all the greatness and pressure and pain and tragedy that comes with it.

Maybe it helped that I didn't go into this book with high expectations that it would be as entertaining as the 1st book. But I thoroughly enjoyed this sequel. There were a couple cheesy parts I could have done without, but overall, this was a good read.

An excellent sequel. Different than the first, but equally good. I love that the lead character Chris has no defined gender. I listened to book 1 with a male narrator and this book with a female narrator. I love that each book was recorded twice a for that exact reason.

A historical fiction thriller based in Philadelphia during the 1918 flu pandemic - full of bravery and cruelty and xenophobia and caring. Not at all what I expected, and hard to read at times (not due to the writing, but because it was stressing me out and I was getting wrapped up in the story). This book was hard to put down.
