It's interesting to see how each P&P retelling incorporates that famous first line. This one is so cheeky, with just a nod to the original. Love it

pickThis sequel to Dark Rise is every bit as tense & exciting as the first with all the adventure, danger, death, betrayal, magic, & secrets you could want. More big reveals raise the stakes, choices lead to further complications and then of course everything gets turned on its head. Now comes the wait—however long it might be—for the third and final book. A very entertaining read as I expected.
pickQuite a lot learned in this volume! I‘m looking forward to seeing where else this story goes. #Manga #LGBTQIA
Started this middle book in a YA fantasy series last night. (Finally decided it had languished on the shelf too long.) 😬 The first book ended with a fantastic reveal and takes that reveal and runs with it. I‘m expecting an entertaining read & then, most likely, a bit of a wait for the third one.
(Also, I really like the font it‘s using…)
pickI‘ve been aware of this book for a while and finally decided to pick it up. I‘m glad I did. I really enjoyed it. These are mostly stories of hope and of how people fought oppression and won. I teared up on more than one occasion from something beautiful that happened. Thank you to our queer elders for sharing your story, and to Mason Funk for collecting and safeguarding them. #LGBTQIA #History
This was one of my #Roll100 picks recently.
I‘ve got my May #Roll100 ready to go! So far I‘ve been finishing one of my picks each month, which will probably continue to be the case. @PuddleJumper
pickThis was more action than other Klune books I‘ve read, but that worked for me. The story is engrossing and I enjoyed the characters. But I have some quibbles. The biggest is that there‘s a cute drawing on every chapter page that is actually a major spoiler, and I really didn‘t like that. Also, the overuse of italics for emphasis is insulting to the reader and the bashing of vegan food was old before it started.

pickI was first introduced to this author TJ Klune by reading the cerulean sea. I love that book so much that clone became an auto became not just an auto read but an auto by author for me. My problem is I haven‘t liked his subsequent books nearly as much as the cerulean sea. I like this one but think I like Klune is best when he uses a lighter touch to say a lot, and this one was heavy.
