I liked a lot of things about this book. The characters were well developed, which I love. However, there were a few things that annoyed me and made the plot feel forced. I just couldn't get behind the idea that after 17 years, the two main characters haven't been able to get on with their lives. Not genuine at all. The prose and character development get a solid 4.5⭐️ and the plot a sad 2⭐️.

I finished The Plight Before Christmas yesterday. I've lost count of how many books I have read this month. I do know that I need to read 16 more to reach 300. 🤞

This book started out well, then fizzled. There was not enough character development, especially the male characters. The story also got farfetched. While I know this is fiction, I perfer the plot to be at least plausible and this one became ridiculous. 2.5 ⭐️

This book took me by surprise. I absolutely loved Tyler and felt for him. It was obvious from early on that he was not where he was meant to be. Then he meets his soul mate and you know there will be consequences. Though I don't condone their actions, I still sympathize with the characters. I love when an author makes me feel so much. Great story.

A cute pink iguana is this witch‘s familiar and along with a host of witches and warlocks, they set out to solve the murder of a former classmate at a class reunion. The story sets out strong, but the writing starts to get muddled halfway through. There are gaps in logic and a few sentences I couldn‘t comprehend, as if the editor threw up her hands and said enough! I‘m not reading any more! So lots of potential but lack of follow through. ⬇️

My next ebook

This was adorable! I liked the use of the “they” pronoun, so it‘s a new intro for kids on pronoun use. Beyond that, this is a great book of reaching one‘s goals and the support of family and friends and being oneself. #PictureBook #LetterP #BBRC

A beautifully illustrated #PictureBook biography that tells the story of Pura Belpre, the first Puerto Rican librarian at the NYPL. I loved the incorporation of Spanish into the English narrative. She sounds like she was a remarkable woman who brought her stories and culture to children around the world. #BBRC #LetterP
