#NorthWoods is a modern classic. Spanning hundreds of years and all located in one section of New England woods, it is full of heart, humor, and ingenuity. This book is a total delight! 10/10 💙📚

A very cute children's comic about, as the tagline says, finding a forever home. Read for the #readharder challenge and I loved it! 9/10 💙📚

Beloved MCs climb thru Tartarus, & their friends are forced into dangerous and silly trials. The stakes begin to climb unattainably high, but it is still a fun story with characters I love 7/10 💙📚 #percyjackson #rickriordan #houseofhades #booksky #readmore #middlegrade #heroesofolympus #bookreview

MC gets a job at an isolated castle & uncovers dark secrets tied to her own past. A cute thriller w/ representation by an author who seems to care. The twists were just a bit too fantastical for my preference 5/10 #oneofusknows #alyssacole #thriller #mystery #booksky #booklover #bookreviews #DID 💙📚

A big #wipsnip today from an old #NaNoWriMo project because why not? #practice #writingcommunity #writingprompts #writesky

"Toby looked up at the ceiling. He looked up at the yellowing stains and popcorn texture. He looked up towards God. God? He didn’t know where that thought had come from, he’d never really believed in god before. He practiced the way the word felt on his mouth, in his heart. He wondered if, in his darkest days on earth, he was being reached out to by an all-knowing, all-loving father figure in the sky. He looked at the ceiling and noticed a crack in the corner, hidden by a spider’s web. No. He wasn’t looking at God. Just the vague hope that something was out there witnessing his pain and empathizing with him."

This was a #bookclub read and didn't know what to expect, but I was pleasantly unsettled. You don't know who to root for but you root for them all the same. Its always nice when twists actually surprise me! 💙📚 8/10 #booksky #thesilentpatient #thriller #reading #Alexmichaelides #bookreview #mystery
