3✨ The second book in the series gives a lot more background as you read. It does some flashbacks. I‘m not a fan of flashbacks, and even less a fan of love triangles so not completely my cup of tea. I liked the writing, the emotion, and the world is a fun concept.

5✨ I could not put this down! It was amazingly suspenseful, and really creepy. I figured out some of what was going on, but not right away. Being a rotational resident learning the different specialties is hard enough, but being in the psychiatric wing at night is definitely not what I would call an easy shift to cover. Especially, when one of the patients is deemed to be extremely dangerous. Even the patients are worried.

4✨ Reading the last book in this series I‘m reflecting over a whole picture. In this book it goes through three sisters and their different experiences until they joined each other. Obviously, this is a heart wrenching series of an unprecedented time. I‘m so thankful for the research and interviews with real people so we have it documented.

Enjoying this snack while finishing the tagged. I learned this from friends at my first job. It might be a Hispanic culture thing, but they always got excited at the bottom of the bag of chips (sometimes breaking them down more) and covering it in lemon juice and their hot sauce of choice. I find I get excited now and have even shared the tradition with my kids. 🥰💛

3✨ Danielle‘s cousin comes to town in order to seemingly make her life miserable. They don‘t get along, and Danielle thinks she is there to take away half the inheritance from their grandmother even though the will was clear, the mind of their grandmother may not have been. Walt is still present in this book and there is a lot of funny moments. I‘m really enjoying this series.

3✨ This was a cute romance, and sisterly love book. I laughed at Phoebe‘s clumsy ways, and cringed at interactions between other characters. While her sister was not with her through a lot of the book, it made it more interesting with the interactions she made with three other characters. When the sisters were together it‘s the type of relationship all sisters should have with love and acceptance. #LittensLoveRomance

3✨ This is not something I would have picked up for myself. I struggled with the teen pregnancy and the girls were cared for, but not well. One character was so young and her story was difficult to read. The imagery in certain scenes was graphic and hard to get through. I felt like I was closing my eyes for a scary scene in a movie, but peaking through my fingers to actually read that scene. As a mom this hit me really hard. #FableBR

3✨ This was not my favorite book in the series. For one I like Chaol and Dorian as a team with Celeana. They don‘t have to be romantic interests just helping each other. Now there was growth in the characters, and Dorian finds a healer that he might be able to trust. The ending had me crying, angry that they killed a character that I liked, and excited for the next book. Major mixed feelings, but excited to see what happens next!

LiseWorks I totally agree, I was so upset at the death. But this might motivate them to take action. On to the next book 4w

5✨ Telling you why this is a high pick for me would give away the ending! So instead I enjoyed this one slowly. It had two POVs one being a guilt ridden boyfriend of a missing girl, the other a girl that lost her memory. While we follow his effort to find his missing girlfriend we also follow her path to remembering herself again. The ending! I thought I knew what was happening, but Lally surprised me big time! #HTBookClub

4✨ Following a pregnant woman to a store to get the crib she should have got a long time ago it seems like any other day. However, a massive earthquake causes disaster to strike her town. The only thought on her mind is to survive and find her loved one‘s. I enjoyed this book and the consistent flow it had. While the ending was good I would have liked an epilogue of what happened after that last moment.

3✨ Trigger warnings for suicide and bullying. Marjorie is back with Wendell and we meet Mr Duncan‘s daughter. She doesn‘t really fit in with the popular crowd that Marjorie is hanging out with. She is interested in photography and ghosts. Marjorie befriends her, but only when the popular kids aren‘t around. This was deeply emotional and can show how you can help someone facing deep depression by the end.

BethM That is a very fun cover for such a serious story. 1mo

3✨ This is a chunkster of a book that goes over a lot. We have a few main characters throughout as one little girl grows up. Did I follow along the whole time? No. I was interested in the people and how they grew, but there was quite a bit of battles that just didn‘t interest me.

Amiable This is not my favorite classic, either. 1mo

3✨ Enna‘s brother comes home and learns how to make fire using power inside of him that he didn‘t have before. When tragedy and war break out in their country Enna is at a crossroads in what to do when she learns the fire power too. It is the second book of the Goose Girl series and does feature characters we met in the first book.

3✨ The second book made me laugh just as much as the first. Especially, when Kingsley the frog is in the scene. We get more backstory of the villain, Kingsley and others throughout. The villain seems to be losing or having trouble using his magic. Sage and the villain not admitting they like each other even though it‘s obvious was a little much, but overall I really enjoyed it.

3✨ This was the last book I was able to read in July. I wasn‘t a fan at the beginning, and just couldn‘t focus on the different POVs with who was who. I enjoyed many of the animal scenes, and by the end I was understanding what was happening. I appreciated the discussions from #Camplitsy25 which helped me to figure out the roles of the different characters and finish this book. Honestly, since I started work that was more my issue than the book.

4.5✨This was a really fun read. It had fantasy with magic, deep sea scuba diving for ship wreaks, crazy unexplained natural phenomena, and a couple of plot twists. There are 3 main POVs that help tell this story and it is mapped out really well. Since there is a time line change there is quite a bit of characters which I struggled with, but it was everything I hoped for. 🥰 #HTBookClub

3✨ It helps provide perspective to different walks in a trans persons life. As a cis person I don‘t know what this feels like, or the struggle. I like the strength that Abigail had in this book to be herself. I also like the support she found. While I struggle with the teacher/student dynamic in this book. I also know that it was more about how there are people who want to understand, and time and effort are how we can get there. #CampLitsy25

Megabooks I understand why a lot of the campers who are teachers struggled with this more than the rest of us. You have such a strong ethical code of conduct with students that I sure it was hard to see it breached even if the author's intent was well meaning. Thank you for joining us! (edited) 2mo
AmyG Yeah, I get the teacher/student uncomfortable-ness of it. I felt that as first. 2mo
Butterfinger @AmyG @Megabooks Teachers see the grooming first-hand. Or rather the effects of grooming, especially the children who don't have support at home. And, I know @Roary47 has mentioned that it was more about placing a huge responsibility on a child's shoulders. 2mo

BarbaraBB It is a big responsibility for Abigail indeed. And that might have turned out wrong but she‘s such a kick-ass kind of girl, she can handle it. I think St James handled the subject with care but I get why you and others felt uncomfortable 2mo
Roary47 @Butterfinger Agreed. I recognize that Abigail was already out before Erica, but the direct communication, driving her home, being alone with her. That was all shooting Erica in the foot and just not something a teacher should do. I worry about the parental rights law that I mentioned for my coworker. He recently came out and started hormone replacements late last school year. As a teacher himself he could still face discrimination. ⬇️ 2mo
Roary47 Yet, in my state we protect students from bathroom discrimination and provide alternates for them. Parents have a right to complain and press charges on a teacher like him for “convincing students” even if he‘s just living his true self. Same with religion, or anything else that makes the teacher who they are that the parents don‘t like. 😔 I also mentioned unsupportive parents where teachers are forced to call the students the wrong name. 😭 (edited) 2mo

Marlow at first doesn‘t know he is a ghost until Danielle, who can see spirits, lets him know. She inherited the house which was passed down from Marlow in a very unconventional way. They work together to solve the mystery of how he actually died, and what happened to the people that were closest to him. #FableBR
