This was pretty good, but not as great as Behind her eyes (by same author) which is one of my top faves.

It's a great book! I recommend it to kids who want to learn more about other cultures or their own! :D.

Such Charming Liars

This book was really good. While it was not what I expected, I enjoyed many parts. What I was not counting on was her dad's appearance, I thought it must have been Parker, Morgan, and Gem all conspiring against Kat and her mom. I was rooting for Liam and Augustus all the way.

Beloved

5 stars “And no one, nobody on this earth, would list her daughter’s characteristics on the animal side of the paper…She felt she had to convince, that what she had done was right because it came from true love.” pg. 296 Though in the beginning might seem to be a slower read, once you really get into the book, you’ll find collective trauma and love of each and every character. Trauma creates fear, which in turn creates love. The trauma of slavery: being seen as an animal and the set monitary value placed on not only yourself, but other Black people; the fear of slave hunters and klan members coming after you to lynch, burn or kill in other horrific ways; And if not to kill—to dirty your soul and mind. The fear of: Being haunted by the ghosts (both living and dead) from your past; The child that roams the halls in rage of death, but the love of: doing anything for your children, even if it means taking matters into your own hands; slowly opening the tin box that conceals your heart; finally stepping off those porch steps to ask for help, to feel the embrace of another being. For my second Toni Morrison book, this was a great read. I agree wholeheartedly with the statement that Morrison’s books are all about love, especially for Black people and our community.

Third in the Haven's Rock series with Detective Casey Duncan investigating a murder in this sanctuary town in the Yukon in the midst of a blizzard. Great read for these warm summer days. It is a page turner.

In the book Ghosts a girl named Catrina and her sister have to move. Catrina's little sister Maya is sick. She has cystic fibrosis and something that would benefit her would be the cool salty air that blows from the sea. Though Catrina is upset that she has to move and leave all her friends behind. I really enjoyed reading this book and would rate it five stars.

This book was everything o expected and more. I read the UK version because a lot of people told me that there is a large difference in details between the UK version and the US version. Pip and Ravi were really good detectives and I can't believe that Becca and Eliott were the killers
