A Wrinkle In Time

Stars 3/5

A Wrinkle In Time by Madeleine L' Engle

This, of course, is not my first time reading this book but I wanted to reread it again because it has been a very long time indeed. I first read this book with my daughter growing up and I thought I remembered liking it a bit more. Maybe it was just the nostalgia. This story follows Meg, her younger brother Charles Wallace and their friend Calvin as they set out on an adventure to save Meg's father. I did forget about all the religious notes, which I didn't much enjoy, but the book overall was an interesting ride. 

We Should All Be Feminists

Stars 5/5

We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

I am going to be honest and say that at first I did not want to read this book because I am kinda ashamed of some of the feminists online these days and what their opinions are about women of today. I am a mother of a son as well as daughters and I never want my son to feel inadequate as some of these radicals speak about. So I was hesitant but I am so glad I did read it. It was not what I expected at all. It supports both male and females. I loved the stories within the book and the examples she gave of even the little gender signals that go on we don't notice. I am very lucky to be in an area and a place in my life that it doesn't affect me as it did the ones in the book but I stand for all those who do face this daily. I recommend this book for not only females but males as well. 

The Dream Thieves

Stars 4/5

The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater

This is the second book in the Raven Cycle series. It continues to follow Gansey, Ronan, Blue, Adam and Noah. The story focuses mostly on Ronan and his dream talents. I would love to have that talent! I do not want to go into the adventure more as not to spoil it but I recommend this book to everyone.

The Raven Boys

Stars 4/5

The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater

Ok I have to admit this book took me a little bit to get into. Not sure if it was the book or just me. I did just finish a very amazing series so an adjustment was there. BUT ... after I did get into the book, I just loved it. So many things going on and so many lovable characters. This story follows Blue, a girl with a clairvoyant family; Gansey, a boy from a rich family that is fascinated with a lost King's body that could grant a wish if found; Adam, a scholarship kid from a poor and abusive family; Ronan, the one that fights to save himself & his friends, and Noah, the watcher. This book is about their friendship, adventures, kiss blocking and finding bones. I would recommend this book to everyone. I plan to finish the series asap.

I really don't know what took me so long to read this book but WoW! All the hype is justified. I just loved this story. It follows a girl named Feyre. One day she is deep in the forest hunting food for her starving family and kills a wolf. She didn't realize that it was not a wolf but in fact a faerie so to pay for her crime against the fae, according to the treaty, she is taken to live on the other side of the wall in the magical land and that is when all the adventure begins. I am not going into much more as not to spoil it but I have to say that the creativity and imagination of this author is astounding. The descriptive art of each character and the world makes this book run like a crystal clear film in your head. I highly recommend it and I am definitely reading the next book in the series.
