I am deep in all of the feels over this book. At different turns this book has had me crying over a single line of dialogue and at others it’s made me want to fling it across the room for an entire chapter. I’m still trying to process everything that I read, so I hope this review comes out okay.
I really liked Wallace as a main character, but he was a total asshole at the start of this book. I loved that by the time we get to the end of the story he had learned from his past to make a better future. Hugo was such a sweetheart and he really deserves all of the hugs and warm tea. And I can’t forget Mei, Nelson, and Apollo! They got up to the best shenanigans. I also really loved that this book didn’t shy away from hard topics. And that it dealt with them in a genuinely kind way, especially Cameron’s storyline. I think the only draw back to this book is that it was really slow paced. But I think it also worked for this type of storytelling.
This is one of those books that will stick with me long after I’ve finished it. This book deals with grief in a different way then any other that I’ve read and it hit home in ways that I wasn’t really ready for. But it was also something that I think I really needed and for that I have to thank TJ Klune. Under The Whispering Door is getting a four and half out of five stars.
Edit: I forgot my reading challenge prompts again! 🤦‍♀️

When I read something like that, I'm looking to see what happens next. Of course, my favorite part! 😉 On a more serious note...what is going on in Klenard? 🤔 And yes, you can ask this question many times! 😂 As the author of the series, I do it often and go on. #TorturingCharacters #AuthorGlee #Squealing #GoodBook #CantPutItDown #TheKingDemands #Klenard #Fantasy #ActionAndAdventure #AcrossTheWorld #AllEyes #Consequences #Bookstagram #Booktok #WritingCommunity #NewBritain #PronouncingSentence #Punishment #Cold #UnderControl #Imprisoned #Jail #Sisters #Twins #NoWayOut https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce1WwLHOyAC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I like books.
Now, hopefully this blog doesn't die out as fast as my other short-lived aspirations, but consider this, an introduction if you will.
I like books. I like reading them and at one point, I loved writing them before I fell out of love with the process. I love paperbacks, but at the moment I'm limited to ebooks and such, so bare with me. I'm on a path to start a vast book collection.....eventually.
My goal is to read as many books as I can in my free time and give my honest opinion about it.
Stay curious~ <3

Sharing Jesus
My wife gave me a lecture the other day about sharing my very loose religious beliefs. First off I told my wife I'm very godly. In fact, I do think when I get to heaven Jesus will run up and hug me and say: " Man I am excited you finally got here. " My wife laughed and said, "Oh yeah, I'm sure that'll happen." What brought this exchange all about is my grandson asked me if I thought Jesus attended parties that women were at. I told him of course. He was at some wild parties. Now of course he kept his hands to himself. But there was dancing. They had some musical numbers that involved them vaulting over mules. It was crazy. But just innocent fun. Jesus played a little guitar and one of his disciples played the flute, he was known as an early version of Kenny G. I told my grandson to think about it. Jesus was a good storyteller. He played a mean guitar and he wore sandals. Out at the beach during the summer he'd have a crowd around him constantly. My grandson said that I really know my bible. I told him that it was because I went to church every Sunday and I paid attention. I told him if he had any other questions about Jesus he could come to me. I'd explain it to him. My wife walked up about that point and said to me I can't wait for him to tell your daughter about how he learned that Jesus did dances that involved vaulting over donkeys. I said: "That's why I'm so glad I have such a fantastic wife who can explain this all to her."

Book Review: Re-Create & Celebrate by Cindy Georgakas
I’m generally apprehensive about buying self-help books. Experience, I feel, is the best teacher. But then I saw Robbie Cheadle’s review of the book. And her line, ‘I am not a frequent reader of self-help books, but I have been following Cindy Georgakas’s lovely blog for some time now, and I knew she had some excellent life experiences to share and advice to give, so I decided to read the book,‘…

So. I really struggled through this one. I’m pretty sure I hit another wall in my fantasy reading slump 😭. I did really enjoy being back in this world. But I have to admit, Silver was not my favorite narrator for most of Drowned Country. He did grow on me by the end though!
I loved the second half of the book so much. I loved that we got to see more of the Woods and all the creatures that live/move through it. I also really loved the happy ending that we got for Silver and Tobias, they deserved it after everything they went through. So all in all, this one is getting a four out of five stars.

After 30 how to choose the right path. 30歲後,你會站在哪裡? It’s the book from my brother given by his company. 這本書就是要年輕的時候要危機意識了,才不會以後老大徒傷悲。 我這本書看完了,每個字都看了 花了我三四五個小時看完 我覺得我看得蠻快的 好久沒有看一本書了 。This book is to have a sense of crisis when you are young, so that you will not be sad when you are old in the future. I finished the book. I read every word. It took me three, four, five hours to finish it. I think I read pretty fast. I haven't read a book in a long time. 書說要注意在升官之前的同事當朋友 這要小心。 書有舉例。說沒有跟公司共患難的員工被離職,公司旺季你在那邊你請假,之後回到公司公司說不要你了,說讓你放假放的夠。 #30yearsold #Iwillbecome30 #crisis #goodbook #書推薦 #好書 #好書推薦 #好書分享 #心得 #閱讀筆記 #閱讀分享 #book #chinesebook #before30 #lifeguide #lifelessons #危機 #年紀到了 #思想不成熟 #readbook https://www.instagram.com/p/CmoD3NjPmD5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
