How I Did It
by Linda Ragsdale

Enjoyed the clever pun carried throughout the book to put across the encouraging message that each of us should keep trying. The bright colors will engage beginning readers. The light-hearted tone keeps the message from being over-bearing. Loved the last line/pun.

The Wife Between Us

Mild psychological thriller - enough to keep you enthralled but not enough to keep you up at night - a perfect balance.

Lifeguard

The book's exposition begins smoothly and peacefully, then tragedy hits and it comes as a surprise. I was not expecting a plot twist so early on in Patterson's novel, but as I kept reading, all the pieces began to fit into place.

I very much enjoyed this novel. I learned so much about a part of our nation's history that I hadn't really thought about before. Ms. Russell is a wonderful storyteller!

Realm Breaker

High fantastic adventure story. Protagonist is a teenage girl. Character development is marginal. The author has atendancey to lapse into long passages of exposition making the book hard to read. These chunks of description could have been replaced with the characters experiencing the settings. This would also help with character development. The story was fairly predictable and the motivations of the characters doesn't always make sense. I am not sure if I will continue this series. My expectations may be unreasonably elevated sine I have just been reading Brendan Sanderson, Robert Jordan and Leigh Bardugo.

A really strong storyline and great book overall!

Paris
by Paris Hilton

This memoir written by the iconic and notable Paris Hilton takes the reader into a first person perspective of Hilton's trauma, teenage adventures, family dynamics and even the star's own struggles with mental health. One of my favorite aspects of this memoir was Hilton's style of writing. To put it in simple terms, she wrote the piece in an informal way, while talking about heavy topics that can be hard to imagine and get through. This easygoing style of writing made the book fun to read.

Alcatraz Versus The Shattered Lens

This book is the fourth in this series. Another fun book from this series. This book is much more introspective than the others where our hero learns some difficult lessons.

Fourth Wing

I loved the magical/fantasy story - great characters and worldbuilding. I could have dinner without the "spicy romance" parts, which somehow seemed gratuitous/unnecessary and took me out of the story a bit.
