This is the second book of Ryan’s Skyland series. While it does not seem like it’s imperative that you read them in order I did enjoy the first book, “Before I Let Go” better.

I’ve read a lot of vampire books in my life so far, and this one has interesting takes on immortality that I appreciated. I do wish the ending was a tad more fulfilling since we spent a lengthy amount of time with each character. Overall, I would recommend this sapphic vampire novel (that spans 500 years and Schwab loves a good historical setting).

The Silver Eyes pulls you into a dark, twisted story that mixes childhood trauma with deadly mystery. It’s creepy, suspenseful, and keeps you on edge. The past won’t stay buried, and the truth behind Freddy’s is worse than anyone expected. I couldn’t stop reading.

In this book Karen decided to start adopting Grandmothers. She had more grandmothers than anybody knows. She had adopted five grandmothers and she thinks it's special. One of the grandma's makes her listen to old music and teaches her funny dance. I really enjoyed reading this book and would rate the book five stars.

It gives more word building to the twilight universe. I like learning about different characters

Chainsaw Man Volume 12 delivers a bold and gripping start as a part 2. High schooler Asa uneasy blend of teenage angst and her devil power brings fresh tension. The new characters, dark stakes, and a momentum that hooks hard brutal, weird, and utterly compelling.

The book Aliens in Disguise is about two kids named David and Amy. The grandmother owns a bed and breakfast called the Intergalactic Bed & Breakfast. It's a place where aliens can go for vacation on Earth. Their grandmother has to go away and they are in charge of the bed & breakfast. They have to make sure that nobody finds out that there are aliens staying there. I rate this book as five stars. It was a great read and definitely recommend.

Kristin Hannah takes on a historically close fictional experience of women in wartime with the story of Frankie McGrath. Cheer for her as she learns to love nursing side by side with war heroes who saved lives and comforted the dying. Suffer with her on her return through a difficult reentry but a path to healing and recovery. Kristin Hanna provides a rich list of further reading. A Piece of my Heart by Keith Walker is a treasure trove of the experiences of 26 nurses--true tales. An all time fave is Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried. As part of a generation that didn't experience a draft but was just younger than one that did, reading the stories gave me a chance to understand better what veterans live through and live with all of their lives.

The Fourth Closet is wild, dark, and full of shocking twists. It dives deep into identity, grief, and the terrifying truth behind the animatronics. Just when you think it’s over, it pulls you back in. A creepy, emotional, and intense end to the trilogy.

"Codex Seraphinianus" is like if aliens wrote an encyclopedia while tripping on acid. This mind-melting book is crammed with bizarre illustrations and an indecipherable language that'll have you questioning reality – it's basically the weirdest coffee table book you'll ever lay eyes on.
