Good Book. IT gave a lot of information about Green Lantern, LEx Luthors sister and Aquaman.

The story of Lale and the reality of what happened in front of our eyes is horrific, sad, and haunting. I found myself thinking about this book during the day and striking up conversations with my older family members to see what they remembered and how it affected them. The writing seemed a bit choppy to me and at times repetitive, but the story is so interesting that you can easily overlook those craft flaws.

I liked Mr. Lemoncello's All-Star Breakout Game because it was funny. Also, I liked how they got to choose their own stories.

I like it because all the people are animals.

Suspenseful. Loved every page. I don’t get much time to read but I couldn’t put this book down. Read it in 2 days. Can’t wait to read more by Colleen Hoover.

I did enjoy this book, but disliked most of the characters. Also, it left out the logistics of living on an island for weeks..... where is the bathroom? Readers want to know!

It’s fun!

I also wanted to love this book. It was an ambitious project, to weave an allegory based on the entire Bible, climate crisis, and End Times. I ended up feeling a little terrified (is that possible?), not so much by the apocalyptic events, but by the dynamic between the "wise" adolescents and the drugged/drunk/sex-crazed parents. The smug adolescents seemed just as unanchored morally, as they also dallied in drugs, sex, and drinking, although they were the "remnant" responsible for carrying on society post-storm. The book ended up with Eve (!) the main character, telling her brother he was right, Jesus is science and the Holy Ghost is the "things people make" or "art." The allegory and this conclusion felt altogether forced. I couldn't identity the Jesus character in this or understand how you can make an allegory of Christianity without the centrality of the cross or something cross-like? I'm not sure where I would have been located in this novel (which was a National Book Award Finalist). Maybe just swept out to sea with the other miscellaneous adult bodies. I accept that my generation added to the climate crisis and don't want to minimize this overarching idea. I also accept that the Bible gives believers responsibility for care of God''s world with His help. Maybe this is what allegory is meant to do, irritate us to action. After all, Jonathan Swift didn't really want people to eat babies.

Great mystery set in England by the Sea. The forensic archaeologist , Ruth Galloway investigates bones that surfaced on a remote Norfolk Beach after WW 2. A nasty secret evolves that took place during the War which leads to the death of two more people. Ruth and DCI Harry Nelson investigate and help solve the case.

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.
