Plain Bad Heroines | Emily M Danforth

My favorite egg and cheese on a cheddar chive biscuit and a frothy cappuccino with some reading before running errands. It‘s busy outside, but wonderfully peaceful in this cafe.

2 brothers are just trying to live as people w/ powers around them fight amongst themselves. When Emil suddenly manifests an ability, the war becomes much more important in their lives.

This was an interesting magical twist on the superhero genre, w/ some really interesting characters. But the pacing was nonstop, we didn‘t get really deep characterizations, & there‘s a difference between a cliffhanger & ending in the middle of a climax.🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑

This was a fun read. It was an epic end to a series. It was full of laughs and good humor. This is a great book to read after a long day. And I finished the audiobook perfectly by turning on the radio and listening to Huntrix‘s Golden, after a long day of dashing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A soft pick. A coming-of-age story set in a small village in Ireland in the early 90s. Lucy is in high school, falling desperately in love with her girlfriend Susannah, and struggling to deny her sexuality and pursue the life expected of her. It is intense and full of angst, totally capturing the obsessive nature of those tumultuous teenage feelings. We see Lucy unable to embrace her authentic self and the toll it takes as she tries to fake it.

The complexity of the series continues to grow. Along with the characters and the storyline. It shows Sakura‘s powers getting stronger. I can‘t wait to see what happens in the next book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

And I'm up to date with #FictionalTraveler too! @julieclair

Unfortunately I really didn't like this book. I was expecting a sweet forbidden lesbian romance set in Iran, and instead got a couple of naive selfish drama merchants -[cont in comments]

Also, be aware, though sold as a romance this is NOT A ROMANCE NOVEL.

Lauredhel [cont] and the POV character hatching a plan to have a surgical sex change (she's not actually trans, so I'm not calling it gender affirming care) so she can marry her girlfriend.

Along with the unlikeable main characters, the prose is just not great. I really enjoyed one of Farizan's other books , so perhaps this was just a debut novel issue?

julieclair It‘s always such a letdown when a book turns out to be less than you expected. 😕 But your review is very well done! 3d
Lauredhel @julieclair I also kinda feel bad about it, because yes, teenagers are selfish and naive and that's developmentally appropriate? But I feel like the role of YA lit, among other things, is to show growth, and I didn't really get that. 3d

I haven't given up trying to catch up! 😂 I did this on audio since that's all I could get on Libby. If, like me, you struggle with the Edmund/Fannie relationship of Mansfield Park, this might be a fun read for you. It's an irreverent take on the original, but if you know this going in, it helps. Elizabeth and Darcy make a few appearances in this, too, revisiting their roles from Pride and Premeditation. #JaneAustenThenandNow @Crinoline_Laphroaig
