A Good Kind of Trouble | Lisa Moore Ramée

What an incredible story of growing up and trying to find a way to fit in. Completely eye opening to the culture mix in out Schools.and how kids are trying to.identify where they fit in.

A Good Kind of Trouble | Lisa Moore Ramée

At first I was like this book seemed a bit juvenile but now I am beginning to relate with the young character and her desire to connect with others especially in understand her own race. As an adult I can find myself struggling to connect with my own race. Not born on the USA but being here 34 of my 38 years I feel at limbo because I am neither able to connect with people from or there at times. Ugh

Never Be Alone | Paige Dearth

My current bread by this author and all I can say is wow. The view from a homeless child is truly waking up my eyes. It is so hard to understand what a child is willing to do to stop the abuse they are exposed to and are willing to risk living on the streets to find their own survival.

Wow this book was the first of her books that showed levels of neglect and abuse to a male character and it was shocking. The desire of survival the passion of revenge left me breathless until the very end.

This author has a way of expressing herself. I have been on a kick to read her books and have yet to be disappointed. Abuse described very detailed but if definitely opens your eyes to abuse.

What an incredible story. The love he demonstrated for his son during the most challenging fight of his life was admirable. I really enjoyed seeing through different eyes the dedication he had for his family even during a time when his career had such demanding expectations.

So the adventures continue for Stefan and Damon. But this hatred and rescue between the two brothers is getting to be an endless song and dance. I love the adventures but just wish they would stop with this love hate relationship already. It is becoming so annoying.

This first hand experience was eye opening. It provided me with a few of the sacrifices one will make to willfully survive all challenges no matter how miraculous it may seem. Will for surviving allowed these 16 men to overcome all types of dangers.

I am truly enjoying this series. It has given me a deeper understanding of the relationships that Stefan has developed along his journey. It has also given me an outlook of Damon's anger and his desire to destroy his brother's happiness in all ways possible.

" We spend our lives saying hello, we spend our lives loving, and we spend our lives saying goodbye. It is the way it is. To refuse to acknowledge this is to miss out on all the beauty and wonder of life."
What an inspiration quote. I really needed to read this today.

How challenging would it be to blend families together once an adopted child is found? Even if the adoption was by known parties is that something that would be harder for the adopted child or the children that were raised by the parent that gave the other child up for adoption.

My husband is adopted and through the ability of ancestry DNA he has been able to find both his biological parents. One was not welcoming but the other was amazing.

Finally made it to the final part of the book. Part of me is ready to see where this is heading and part of me likes the unknown of what is to come to.close out the first book of the series. Not sure if I will read the second book right away. When reading a series do you continue on or give yourself time in between with another book?

Deblovestoread It really depends on the first book. Some are just are just so good I can‘t wait to immerse myself back in that world so I will immediately begin the next or be impatient for the next to be released. I just finished Cinder last month and am now reading Scarlett not because I was excited to continue but to finish a challenge prompt. It is unlikely I will continue with the 3rd book. 5y

Finally got back to this book. I know it was challenging but it is a great story. I just have a hard time focusing. But really love the cliffhangers.

InBooksILive I actually had a hard time with this book too even though I enjoyed the storyline. It was weird lol 5y
JesByrne I do agree that the storyline was strange but I think that is what drew me because it was not what I was expecting in anyway. 5y
