This book is a wonderful read!! It is all about the power of love and forgiveness and family. Ms. Hartmann is an awesome writer!!

I can’t even choose which Hunger Games book is my favourite: all had heart, fast-paced action (as well as a call to action), and relevant scenes and topics that are taking place as we speak. Mockingjay though, I got through the quickest and felt unease with each twist and event (for example Peeta hijacked to kill Katniss, or at the end with President Coin.) I cannot wait to read “A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes” and “Sunrise on the Reaping.”

Rick Riordans "The Red Pyramid" is a very good spin on Egyptian Mythology. Similar to Percy Jackson and the Olympians, this series focuses on two siblings named Carter and Sadie. As we follow their journey through the world with their faithful cat/goddess Bast at their side, we discover that their father and uncle have been taken and they need to rescue him. Their dangerous journey brings them closer to the truth of their family.

Very enjoyable read. Highly recommend. Insights into NASA. Good characters as well.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is the fourth book in the series. In this book it is Harry Potter's fourth year at Hogwarts. He is chosen to be a competitor for the Triwizard Tournament. The Triwizard Tournament is a competition for wizards between three different wizard schools. I really enjoyed reading this book and would rate it five stars.

I re-read this book each summer - a classic!

Intense drama for a teen boy who is introvert. Kept me engaged and enthusiastic to keep reading and finding out what happens next. I can’t wait to see if I finish the saga.

I started this series after reading the naturals but the same author, Jennifer Lynn Barnes. Her use of psychology and interpersonal dynamics really shines through in all of her books.

I liked this novel, but I didn’t love it. I enjoyed the setting, NYC in the late 1930’s. I enjoyed the main characters, but felt there were too many minor characters to keep track of. I wasn’t a fan of the way the dialogue was presented, although the back and forth comments between the friends was witty and clever. It left me with a lot of questions. I thought the best quote of the book was Katey’s response to a friend’s comment . . . If the next thing you are about to say will make YOU feel good, you probably shouldn’t say it. She didn’t heed her own advice very often! Katey was quite the character. Whatever her motives were, she was a strong woman who understood what she wanted in life and didn’t stop until it was within her reach.

Sweet Susan Mallery book.
