The alphas are ready to kill!

The author is a fan of John Irving and it shows - a oftentimes delightful book filled with rich characters. The story does a lot to illuminate how the gay community suffered throughout the decades of 1940s and onward in Ireland. Many of the plot points and twists and turns were a bit predictable and rote, but otherwise a good solid emotionally-fulfilling read.

This was my first time reading from this author. Really liked her writing style. The book was humorous and very serious at times. Two women who own a bakery get involved in shenanigans that put them in very dire situations - but in this book they overcame the obstacles they were faced with and found a twist of an outcome.

What a delightful, absolutely beautifully written book! This was a random find on the library shelf for me and when I started I was hesitant because of the otherworldly/ghostly aspect but I pressed on and it was worth it! Out of my normal genres and so good!

Such an interesting book! I got a little bored once I got into the trade and consumers sections but the earlier parts of the book were loaded with very detailed explanations of fibers, history of textiles, and how it has impacted humanity.

If you like baseball, you'll love this story. Between Joey's Italian family, which revolve all events around food - and Bobbi's family, that own a llama farm, these two young kids find they have more common that they realize. A funny and serious book for middle grade readers.

When you enter this dystopian world you are quick to remember that life may be easier outside of this world. Everything is very regimented within this military world before you know it you are trying to shield your arms thinking you may also have special powers that are illegal.

This book was a lot more emotionally fraught than I expected it to be. Jimenez handled discussions of grief and parental abuse well, and while I disagreed with the FMC’s actions, I was still able to empathize. The author consulted many nurses and therapists while writing the book and it shows in the depth of understanding and empathy given to the characters.

Sarah's writing voice comes out in her character's personalities. This was my first book, and based on their actions, I was able to determine a lot about them. So many things going on - main focus being to solve a murder with her best friend EIllie.

Imagine, if you will, that your life completely changes because of an accident… You take responsibility for your alcohol and drug usage and just when you think you will be free, a pandemic happens. This was a powerful and moving book. (I shed some tears.)
