pickI honestly wasn‘t a huge fan of the writing style, but otherwise I thought this was a good memoir, and I have a lot of respect for McCurdy sharing her story. The abuse and mental health struggles etc. that she experienced were heartbreaking and hard to read about at times, so it couldn‘t have been easy to write about them. I really appreciate how candid she was about her experiences.

I had a lot of fun with the first half of this. The mystery was intriguing, the paranormal aspects were nice and spooky, and I was really interested in seeing where the story would go. The second half had some issues with pacing that ended up making things less interesting for me by the end, but overall, I still enjoyed it.

I really enjoyed this gothic tale. The mystery aspect hooked me right out of the gate, and I enjoyed how the writing created a somewhat disorienting effect at times.

pickA fun, easy read. It was a fitting end to the Ember series. I think the themes of light and darkness were prevalent. This was not only in the physical sense but also in the contrast of characters. This was the ultimate reemergence of man coming back into the light of knowledge after the darkness of the great Disaster. This is my May #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks
A little behind on my may #bookspin and #doublespin. This is my May #doublespin and the final book of Ember.
pickAnother light pick for me. Naturally, not all of these stories worked for me and some were more memorable than others, but several were clever and funny and I enjoyed the time I spent reading them.
@Megabooks I mailed this yesterday. It should get to you by Tuesday. 😊👍🏽

pickI enjoyed the weirdness and unique ideas in this collection, but it lost some steam for me in the second half. A light pick.
I‘m planning on mailing this tomorrow, @Megabooks . I‘ll send you the tracking number when I have it. 😊

so-soThis one was a dud with my book club. Opinions ranged from okay to bad. I didn‘t like it, but I do understand why people would enjoy it. I think there was a moving story in here, but it was marred in the telling. The writing style was often hard to follow and felt like it was trying too hard to be profound. The constant hinting at things to come and the tendency to dance around things rather than just say whatever it was explicitly drove me nuts.
