I liked this one, although not as much as Aru Shah. I mean, a disabled Latinx kid story? I had high hopes. I wonder if reading another Mayan Mythology story not that long ago influenced me, but it just didn't capture my attention as much. However I do think kids will love it, and it fits the Riordan formula well.

I liked the basic premise of the book and most of it, but the ending wasn't my favorite. I didn't feel like the story was leading up to it. I am not surprised that kids at the library are eating it up. I definitely will read and order the second one.

I liked it better than the last one.

So I'm not sure why I waited so long to read anything by Diana Wynne Jones (stubbornness? An everlong to-read list?) Either way, Gail Carriger told the world that this was her idea of a perfect book, and I'm inclined to agree. Maybe it was just what I needed at this time, but I loved every minute of it.

This probably would have been even more helpful earlier in my wedding planning process, but ah well. The author still had a bigger wedding than I intend to, but it was nice to hear that, no matter what you do, you end up a little crazy, things will stress you out, and the wedding industry is insane.

Not quite ready to go back to church yet, but I am ready to think more about the issues Bolz-Webber talks about in this book. I am ready to look at grace.

We read this for my book club, and I ended up really liking it. It's fiction but it really does read like non-fiction. I thought Miles did an excellent job of that. There's also a lot of stuff to talk about in this story. Great food for thought.

I read this one because I wanted to know what it was about before seeing the movie, and I think the trailer makes it look like they are changing a lot. The book was okay, but not my favorite.

I was excited to read this one because I knew about Ostertag's work through "Strong Female Protagonist" and I was excited for more. I was not disappointed.

Asher comes from a family where women practice witchcraft and men are shapeshifters. That's it. But Asher hasn't had a visit from his shapeshifting form yet and he can practice witchcraft. Can his family accept who he is?

I liked this story a lot, and I think anyone who has felt different from their family in some way will relate to this.

I skimmed over the name-dropping of who the different families were, and a lot of the labels, but it was a pretty enjoyable book. I suspect this is one where I will enjoy the movie more.
