You have until February 26 to download copies of your kindle books, after that Amazon will remove the ability to download books to files you can control yourself ,also some digital books are being edited even on books that have been purchased, what does this mean for the future of ebooks when books can be changed on a whim I would worry history could be written differently! This is sickening 🤬

Fredrik Backman is in a class of his own, I love the way this story is quirky yet heartwarming. The characters aren‘t perfect but perfectly human and I found myself rooting for all of them!

A lot was packed in this novella and I really enjoyed it!

So pretty , my favorite Christmas gift 🎁

I am not in the majority on liking this book, yes it was a creative magic system but honestly too much , there was a whole slew of horrible themes, colonialism, racism,misogyny, and yes it‘s a reflection of society good and evil. But most of the plot except for the last few chapters is heavy, forced dialogue it was repetitive and I found myself skimming.

This was a unique epic fantasy that blends reality, and fantasy with really interesting characters. It's hard to explain what this story is about but just know going in that it's immersive and convoluted at times but the author full circles everything you think you have questions about.
Clever, original, and well written
#ReadAway2024 #45

Rich and compelling historical story of friendship and resilience

ReadAway2024 book 36

This book was eye opening to say the least, Cheney explains what happened from the aftermath of the 2020 election craziness to the January 6 attack. She explains everything that she witnessed and how she so adamantly tried to express how important the Constitution is and how provisions were put in place for a reason! Its disheartening how many in our government stand behind Trump and not upholding their oath to the Constitution
#readaway2024 #35

I was completely immersed in this story In these characters in the plot. So much about the setting, the culture and the era took a little time with a lot of back stories but it was well worth it and it all came together. This was not only about the past but glimpses of the future a moving remarkable story !

This was a twisty story set in 1975.The back story and the story that Liz Moore builds in this thriller is built on the culture of that time period. The character development was deep and descriptive so that you weren‘t sure what you believed from one minute to the next well written with a very interesting ending

The Covenant of Water is a lusciously descriptive novel I was completely immersed in, the characters their interesting backstories, and interconnected lives. Verghese writes with such passion about relationships, history, and medical procedures. I loved the audio but the medical procedures were not my favorite.
Such wonderful symbolism throughout this novel
#ReadAway2024 book 21

This Taste of Ginger, is a story about a young woman caught between cultures of her birth land India and America the place she grew up as a young child. There are themes of racism,casteism,first generational
