I Was Anastasia
by Ariel Lawhon
View in Library Catalog
book cover


For nearly 60 years, until her death in 1984, Polish born factory worker Franziska Schanzkowska offered solace and comfort to a grieving international community with her identity claim as Anastasia Romanov, the youngest daughter of Czar Nicholas II, who was assinated in 1918. American author Ariel Lawhon has written this superb chronicle of Ms. Schanzkowska's daily struggles to achieve both the aristocratic status and the wealthy lifestyle with her impersonation of the tragic Russian teenager during the years 1917-1970. Everyday details of Anastasia's life are included in alternating chapters, culminating in the brutal execution of the Imperial family in July 1918. This is an exceptional historical novel: well-constructed and imaginatively crafted- and nearly impossible to set down, ever for an hour or so.

Book 1 of Shatter Me series This book was impossible to put down! It was full of suspense and it had an interesting plot (that is present in every dystopian book). The main character, Juliette, is a powerful and srong character. I loved seeing her voice change throuhout the book. I will be back soon to get the sequel!

This book was an easy read. It had its moments of humor, angst & even some thought provoking concepts...can two people who don't believe in love, fall in love? It was cute.

This book by Lucy Score has to be my absolute favorite. I love the relationship between Sloane and Lucian and it definitely has a a story line that I haven't read before so it was definitely a unique book. I also love the support system tht Sloane has in the book.

Chainsaw Man Volume 10 delivers chaos, heartbreak, and raw emotion. The pacing is relentless, the twists are brutal, and the art is as wild as ever. Denji’s inner turmoil deepens which is making this volume both action-packed and emotionally intense.

The First to Die at the End

book cover


this book literally broke me. I read "they both die at the end" and absolutely loved it, so I decided to read the prequel. I don't regret my decision, but OH MY GOD, this was an emotional rollercoaster. I like this book so much more than tbdate because there were more characters and they all tied into one another in some way.

An easy read. Light and funny, but an unsatisfying ending.

Scythe & Sparrow

Brynne Weaver at it again, her third book in the series. Fion, the doctor, is so cute and Rose is absolutely a character you would love to have as a bff. Chaotic life=spicy romance.

4.5 ?? It was like reading a manuscript while living thru the words. So vivid, so raw. There’s something truly unique about this book. TJR knows how to hook her readers!

I enjoyed learning about the way people dealt with issues about living their lives knowing how much time they had left to live, depending on the size of the string.
