This memoir was a joy to read; one I would not have chosen on my own.

She is also an active philanthropist and is active in many non profit organizations including mentoring. Tina is an exceptional person who has accepted her triumphs and tragedies with integrity, perseverance and faith. She ends her memoir with the realization that “without self-love, there is no Matriarch “.

It was a really good book. I liked the format of having mini stories within the book.

I like this book because I like big snakes.And it's about a twelve year old boy whose parents were attacked when he was a baby, and can speak parseltongue when he got to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry people started to get petrified, he opened the chamber and defeated the Dark Lord, Voldemort.

Cute love story. Another light read by Colleen Hoover.

continues w/ the cliffhanger of the 1st book! Very good and full of magical action!

A stunning collection of LGBTQIAP+ stories. Reading about how each and every one of these kids found their place and overcame their fears made my day. This diverse book deserves to be celebrated.

Although the story is fairly rote, using played out tropes and themes of good vs evil, deals with demons, immortality and worship... the LGBTQ+, body, and sex positivity are refreshing and the art is stunning.

Great book.

i read it twice

Overall, The London Seance Society by Sarah Penner was a very well written story with some twists and turns but not as engaging as her first book, The Lost Apothecary. If you are a reader that enjoys some science fiction and subtle “horror”, I would give this a try. A little hard to get into until a few chapters go by but, still a good read.
