pickEach volume is pretty similar because it's mostly "dinosaur has problem, solve it, dinosaur is happy", but I enjoy them all the same. This one had Pachycephalosaurs! I used to adore them as a kid. I didn't know we think maybe Dracorex was just a juvenile form, or that we have little skeletal evidence below the wrist for their anatomy.
Life has cut back on my reading time. Finally getting to the second book of this series I promised my oldest I would read.
pickGood intro to a popcorn scifi trilogy. Found family and an intriguing set up for the future installments without a drastic cliffhanger.
pickI took me a while to finish this one. The first half of the book had so many parallels to what is happening right now that I needed time to process. I'm still not sure how I feel about the second half of the book. It was good but it took a turn I was not expecting. It's still a good book though.
pickSeems like I am a little late for this hype. 🙈 This one started off as a free giveaway by Audible and ended up having me buying the whole series because I couldn‘t listen to all of them in time. 🙈 It has been a long time that I have been this absorbed by a YA dystopian novel, even though the first one is quite similar to the Hunger Games. I still loved it.
so-so(1962) Book 3 of the “Time Traders“ series has not aged well. The idea is that in order to colonize a distant planet, the West sends a team of Apaches who have been regressed “into prototypes of their ancestors“ (because blablah survival blah) -- only to discover on arrival that the Commies have done the same thing only with Mongols. The story is well-intentioned and has strengths but it's the kind of thing that makes you say “It is of its time.“
pickI knew I would have to be in the right headspace to read this story and man I wasn‘t wrong. It‘s gut wrenching. Once again we are not to look away from the horrors of the capital. To the horrors inflicted upon the people of the districts. Collins once again does not disappoint with this story in the saga 💜📚
