Although love can be beautiful Steven Erikson‘s description also fits as I have seen every type of love he describes… I‘ve also seen lasting beauty in love … this description though, hits, and it is why I reread His books there‘s always something to find

This would be great if I like gaming… but I‘m a reader so it was good and had some great content

InkedBookworm13 I love this book. It was my top book for last year but I am a gamer so .... 3d
Ddzmini @InkedBookworm13 yea it was okay for me I know every book is different for each person there were some pretty funny passages though 2d
DogMomIrene It‘s been optioned for a TV series. I forget who bought it, but maybe you like the show more than the book. Because who could resist Princess Donut bossing Carl around on screen? 18h

Ddzmini @DogMomIrene thank you didn‘t even realize I read that many so this year I‘m going to make sure I put all the books I read on a separate shelf so I can actually see the books 📚 1mo
DogMomIrene @Ddzmini Yes, you totally should, especially if your tracker creates the graphic based off how you tag the books. I‘ve tried those shelves that you color yourself on paper. I never keep up with them.🤦🏻‍♀️ 1mo
Ddzmini @DogMomIrene same I had a book calendar from 2017 never used it 🫣 it‘s been easier for me to use the tbr app though even if I‘m rereading a book it will still record it 1mo

I‘ve had to think about my review for this as it is so emotional… I will only say that you have to read it and it is one of the best I‘ve read of 2024…. On this first day of 2025 I‘ve come to the end of this trilogy and can‘t wait to read more books by this author (that I haven‘t read already)

This was so well written I had to wait to actually process my feelings in regards to the comprehensive aspects of this book… Maya I feel your pain and wonder how many others do as well… specifically because of the responses from half of the town and the purpertrator… although this is fiction (is it really though) Backman has grasped the reality of this heinous crime…

While this presents some controversial subjects in the complexity of social norms it was an amazing read… it brings the question is society really a good thing or is it filled with bias and prejudice against unknown factors of life… the simplicity of life is far healthier then the social norms presented here …

There are a few really great quotes in this read… loved that it‘s a different type of read and yet there are portions of the book that are relatable to other books … while I like this for many reasons I really hated the ending … I mean really I need to know what‘s next … so I have to order the next book

I have so many tbr books I need authors to stop writing for a while so I can catch up… even though I‘ve read so many books this year my tbr doesn‘t change… yes I know this is a good thing but I‘m trying to get the numbers down but it just doesn‘t happen smh

Okay I liked the first book in this series, this one I really didn‘t, with all that happened to the main character it was a little over the top. I tried, I really tried to get to “like” but I just couldn‘t. I know this is a popular series and I‘m trying to figure out why. the abuse is over the top and there should be some type of goal…if he can‘t get to where he needs to go. I think my biggest issue is, if he‘s an assassin how is he always caught?

CoverToCoverGirl All valid questions. I‘m not a fantasy reader at all but these came highly recommended to me. I loved them and have read the first three books. Fitz‘s struggle is very real, ugly and harsh. To me it had a very medieval atmosphere, and the Wit and the Skill were just plausible enough for me buy into the storyline and I especially loved Nighteyes. As readers we can‘t like everything, even if it is a popular series. 2mo
Ddzmini @CoverToCoverGirl yes I agree and I have to say there have been time were I go back and reread a book and get a whole different feel so I‘m not getting rid of the books it‘s just I‘ll have to reread them in the future and see if I change my mind on it 1mo

Not really sure what I read except for the descriptive process of unnecessary items … yes your driving a car and you have a cell phone but do we need make,model, or interior/ exterior description that last a few pages or a page … some of the book was good … maybe because I‘m not used to the writing style I may give it another try at a later date or just let it go sad I really wanted to like it

Once again Nora Roberts hits every aspect of a great beginning… all the spooky and atmospheric representations of a haunting with aspects of time travel, mirror/mirror, and questionable deaths… I am now immediately reading “The Mirror” I‘m happy I waited… but wish all the books were out because the way this ended I would have cried it such a great way to start the next book

This is a sad story but a heartfelt one … from the beginning you realize this is a special story about Alzheimer‘s/dementia (?)… I really love how Beckman presents different mental health issue in his books loved it … even though it‘s a sad book
