April 19, 2022 – April 19, 2022 This book is golden. Like the things in it actually work and changed how I go about parenting, especially the empathy and punishment sections. I like how they keep pointing out the “how would YOU feel if…”, like that we should treat our kids like they are persons …

Evershore by Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson, Skyward 2.3
February 27, 2022 – February 27, 2022 I’m writing a response tomorrow. I have a headache and my left eye is bugging me, but I HAD to finish it. Five stars easily. Update:Ok, I’m a little more awake now. Mondays are rough, but I have a few minutes. Let’s start with oh my GOSH I’m …

ReDawn by Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson (Skyward #2.2)
February 26, 2022 – February 27, 2022 Well, that wasn’t how I expected that to end. It was good, and each fight was an escalation, but I really don’t have anything else to say about it. I might still be in shock from that last scene. I have the next one and am going to …

Sunreach by Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson, Skyward #2.1
February 10, 2022 – February 12, 2022 This one turned into a “it’s short right? I should just finish it. Oh it’s 1:30am. Oops.” 😝 and I only felt mildly annoyed with myself, I was enjoying myself that much. So quick update, I haven’t been reading again, not because of evil books that break my …

Cytonic by Brandon Sanderson, Skyward #3
January 17, 2022 – January 18, 2022 I am so tired. I’ll write a real response tomorrow. I liked it. Update:Ok! I was so tired I literally fell over and thought I would throw up this morning, but after a good nap – and Amit driving the kids to school – I’m alive enough to …
Elementary Romantic Calculus by Susannah Nix, Chemistry Lessons #6
January 7, 2022 – January 8, 2022 I didn’t like this nearly as much as the previous two, especially the last one that I reread immediately after I finished it and still haven’t returned to the library. I don’t know, their relationship didn’t really feel like it was based on anything. It really just felt …

Heir to Edenbrooke by Julianne Donaldson, Edenbrooke #0.5
July 20, 2018 – July 21, 2018 January 6, 2022 – January 7, 2022 I just reread Edenbrook for the thousandth time, and wanted more. Then I remembered this little book and it made me smile. It’s always fun to read from the guy’s perspective, especially when he’s falling in love with the girl. I …

Experimental Marine Biology by Susannah Nix, Chemistry Lessons #5
January 3, 2022 – January 4, 2022 I’m eating up these books. Like I can’t put them down. You want to know what else I love about this author? She gives trigger warnings at the beginning of each book if there is something in it that might be triggering. Now what did I love about …

Applied Electromagnetism by Susannah Nix, Chemistry Lessons #4
January 2, 2022 – January 3, 2022 This book was exactly what I needed, and I knew this author would deliver. I know I complained about the sex scenes in the last book, but I decided to risk it because I really needed a book like this right now. I’ve been having some health complications, …

The Holiday Switch by Tif Marcelo
January 1, 2022 – January 2, 2022 This book was ok. Maybe because I was coming off my high from Murderbot, the writing didn’t do very much for me. The plot was pretty solid, but I didn’t buy her and Teddy’s relationship. He didn’t seem real, and that’s not in a dreamboat way. I don’t …
