I loved the book. It was so amazing and I can't wait to read another Dork Diaries book. Rachel Renee Russell did really really really great writing this! The Dork Diaries series is so fun to read and is very funny. I can't wait to see what Nikki does next!

Sonnys Blues by James Baldwin is a powerful exploration of pain, family, and redemption. Through the lens of jazz and brotherhood, Baldwin captures the struggle of Black identity, emotional repression, and the healing power of understanding and expression.

The title is longer than the review and tells all. Yes, we should eat more plants. No, kale does not make good butter and overnight oats are an acquired taste I will not live long enough to enjoy. The awesome story with this lifestyle changing appeal goes a long way to encourage the adventure of a plant based diet and the holy grail for sufferers of high cholesterol.

A collection of short, heartwarming tales about Cardan and his life before and after the events of The Folk of the air series. I loved seeing Cardans perspective as it showing his cunning and mischievous thought process. It is also cool to see how he began to think about Jude way back when they were kids. It never really made sense to me before but now I get it. Although, it was really sad to see how Cardan was raised in such a neglectful household, very different from Judes.

This was a really good book - it is book two in the series. This takes place after Jules was assaulted by someone she was friendly with. In this book another murder takes place in Ashland and though she tries to stay out of the investigation she finds herself right in the middle. She also starts to realize her feelings for her high school sweetheart overall. I love the further character development in this book.

5 ?? This ?? As I was reading it, it was if I was watching a movie. The flow was so good, the story line so relatable. Such a sweet story, funny, sad and everything in between.

This is a well-written book for youth to help them understand the honor of being a soldier, and how they serve their country. It shows their bravery and courage in difficult and dangerous situations.

I received an ARC for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. 12 Ways to Kill Your Family at Christmas by Natasha Bache is a twist on the typical trapped-in-a-snowy-domain thriller. Olivia and her family are invited to an extravagant Christmas get-together at her in-laws mansion before her family is set to move to Australia. What starts as an already tense environment becomes an alarmingly frightening abode when family members start to get picked off one by one after the amendment of one member's will. My mind was set on a very central character within the story until at one point it did not make sense; then I started to go back over some of the other incidents and realized that maybe it was possibly someone else. It became especially apparent with the one death that it couldn't possibly have been who I originally thought it was. The author was very creative in crafting the journal entries to be witty which provided some very slight comedic relief in between all of the dead bodies and I would read another thriller by this author if given a chance. Thank you, Net Galley, for the ARC!

Chainsaw Man Volume 11 throws everything into overdrive with intense despair, hope, and a jaw dropping reveals. Denji confronts Makima, wrestles with power and purpose, and Pandemonium reigns. Ending with a brutal, emotional climax that reshapes everything.

Amazingly written, with tons of plot twists and mystery that will keep you guessing every step of the way. The author writes characters' internal conflicts so well, making you empathize with them. Her knowledge of criminal psychology makes everything feel so accurate and realistic.
