Feeling stuck? Then you might find yourself stumbling down Gloaming Lane to find the Amberglow Candy Store w/ magical delights that will shake up your life.

Delightful! Such sympathetic characters, & the candies & how they influenced lives were so unique & interesting. & I really liked the dive into the backstory of the mysterious shop owner. Made me immediately crave something sweet, though. Would happily read several sequels!🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

Compared to the first book in the Bristol Keats duology, this was a slow read. The main plot had so many points of view that it felt like it was moving at a snail's pace. In addition, the romance plot leaned very heavily into the miscommunication trope. In the final 20%, though, all the action happened.

When Hana visits the Sea Witch, hoping to find answers to the Storm threatening the kingdom of mermaids, she instigates a swap w/ a trapped Rapunzel that may save 2 kingdoms & avert a war.

I continue to be delighted by this series. The girls are unique & strong protagonists, the fairy tales are recognizable, but w/ a unique spin, fun world building. I would like to see more diversity, & I do not need every girl to get a little romance.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

Ellie and Adam, together with Neil and Connie, are in India this time. With the help of Connie's extensive maternal family finding the Arrow of Fortune should be as easy as pie. Obviously it's not as easy, otherwise we'd have got a novella and not a full-sized novel.

This book is full of adventure, humour, romance, a pinch of spice, and a lot of heart.

Letters from activists to read when hope falters, despair threatens, and anger rises.

Even if you‘re not in activism, this is a fantastic collection of letters from activists of all many types. Personal & intense, letters discuss activism while parenting, dealing with sexual assault, chronic illness and disability, incarceration, and hopelessness. But there are bits of hope to be found in every letter. And encouragement to keep going. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗

Tiffenie is a 300-year old vampire living a rather reclusive life in LA. She has hardly any connections outside of work at an all-night plasma centre other than her neighbour Heaven and her ex Vlad, who's still texting her every day. But Halloween brings an offer of change to Tiffenie's un-life; the woman whose identity she took on ten years ago inherited an inn in Vermont.

A well researched biography on Jeanette Rankin, the first woman to be in Congress. I was immensed in this book. The life Rankin lived was fascinating. She saw WWI, WWII and Vietnam. She did so much in her life that women are benefiting from today, as well as America.

Rinehart takes you on the journey of Rankin's life. Rinehart wrote this book so you feel as you are right there beside Rankin. She let's you travel along with Rankin ⬇️

I was excited to read this after loving the first book and I was not disappointed.

The book picks up right after the last one with Gabriel missing and Miles trying to locate him. I felt the cliffhanger was resolved too quickly, however, that didn't detract from how enjoyable this book was.
