This book was fine. It was a very interesting concept. But the details were a bit hard to follow. Overall I liked it, but I won't read any more in the series.

This book was so great. I really liked it a lot.
What a weird book. I'm still not sure if it was supposed to be funny. But I found it that way.
Meh. This was a little much for me. I grew up very religious and also overweight and there was, IMO, a lot of shaming for both in here.
I loved how this ended. Excellent.
This story is BANANAS.
I loved the movie, but felt like I missed a lot. After reading the screenplay I love the whole thing even more. I wonder if it would be overkill to watch the movie and follow along in the screenplay...
I really liked this! Such a cool idea of time and space travel. And the characters were real in a way that I liked. A fun read.
Meh. Not my fave. It was beautifully written, but the premise was off-putting to me. YMMV.
This was a cute chick lit read. I liked trying to decipher the inspiration for the pseudonyms.
I'm adding this essay because of its importance. I first heard it in pieces in a Beyoncé song, like many. But the entirety of it is beauty and important.
Triggers for domestic abuse, child loss.
I'm not sure I liked this book so much as that it was very well written. I haven't hated a character so much as I hated Ian since Dolores Umbridge in HP and Big Jim Rennie in Under the Dome. I read a lot of mysteries and crime books and the twists kept me on my toes. The audiobook is very well done.
The relationships in this book got to me this time around. I sobbed when Fleur tells off Mrs. Weasley, when Tonks tells off Lupin, when Olympe seeks a hug from Hagrid straight away, and when Ginny tells Harry her thoughts near the end. My heart really needed the love Dumbledore believes in right now.
Meh. Granted, Where'd You Go, Bernadette was a hard act to follow, but I didn't like this one so much. It felt disjointed, and I was confused and kept having to go back.
I liked this. I didn't love it like I did Simon, but perhaps it's because teenage girl drama gives me anxiety and not good flashbacks and also the whole "fat girl" thing made me want to shake Molly. But it was a great book to read in Pride month, and I definitely want more from this universe.
I was hesitant to try this series, despite many respectable people I care about loving it, because I'm always skeptical that I will love a fantasy series other than HP. But I am hooked. Can't wait to keep going.
I feel weird recommending this book. The subject matter isn't great, but the writing is excellent. It's a beautifully written book about a horrible situation. Family secrets, small-town rumors, and lies galore. Trigger warnings for child abuse.
I adored this book. The author doesn't use quotation marks for dialogue, but the story underneath is not confusing, just poignant and beautiful.
Excellent. So well written. Real characters. Real relationships. Real parents. Real kids.
I love this one every time I reread it. Harry is a petulant, angsty teen, and Dumbledore acts like one. But there is also so much love. And I love love.
This book was fine. Engaging, surprising, but the wrap up left something to be desired.
I enjoyed this well enough. I fell into several Wikipedia holes trying to find out more about the key players in the book. I didn't like this one as much as The Aviator's Wife.
On grief: "The only difference is that I'm getting used to the pain. It's like discovering a great hole in the ground. To begin with you forget it's there and you keep falling in. After awhile, it's still there but you learn to walk 'round it."
Pretty sure the tour comes back this way next year. And I can't miss it this time. 😍
Same. Git. I can't get behind him, even knowing what I know.
Great. NPH is delightful as always.
43% of the way through my ebooks, and starting book 5. Crazy that the last three make up more than half.
Okay, so trigger warnings for... everything. But I super enjoyed this and could have KICKED myself for spoiling the ending (by googling it. That's how I roll). Because I should have just let it play out. I listened on audio and really enjoyed the reader. Now I need someone's HBO log in info so I can watch the miniseries. Anyone?
I really enjoyed this. Candid, honest, and better than I expected. Love or hate Caitlyn Jenner, she has a platform and means. And she seems to be honestly trying to figure out how to separate her new image from the Kardashian fame and do Good.
Guys, this was a little woo woo for me. But the author read the audiobook, and she seems like a real true person, who is hardworking and believes what she is saying. And having a little more faith in myself and putting a bit more positive energy into the world won't hurt. So sure. Let's do it. I AM a badass.
This section hit home. And is so true. I was not my best self while going through my divorce. And I like myself now, a LOT, but my dealings with my ex-husband bring out a passive-aggressive, angry part of me I don't like.
RBG, man. So freaking amazing. (This book is taking me a very long time to read. I am trying to make sure I am thoughtfully absorbing as much as I can.)
This book was fine. I stayed engaged with the lives of the characters. I wanted more of the supernatural stuff than I got. But it was fine.
Chapter 56 of this book is just "fuck" and "shit" over and over again for more than a minute. I am cackling at my desk.
I love how her automatic is "she (or he)", when the automatic for most is the opposite. #equalrights
I super enjoyed this book. It was ridiculous and engaging. I listened to it on audio and even with many characters and timelines it was easy to follow.
My new life's goal is to be the kind of person RBG would call a "very good thinker."
I did not enjoy this book. At all. It took me a long time to get into it, and even then I was just turning pages, waiting to feel a connection to the characters. I wanted to love it. But did not.
I really liked this! Can't wait to see the movie. I will say that without a technical brain some (most) of the research details went over my head. But I really liked this book for (finally) recognizing the women who did so much for aeronautics.
Recommend! A good story about people who might lose their way and need to find it again. Feels real, like these are people who you know. Lots of moving parts (but not too many) that keep the story going.
This was a nice change of pace for me. Just a book about real people and family dynamics. I liked it!
