The Lost City by Amanda Hocking My rating: 3 of 5 stars I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I have a confession to make. I haven’t had the opportunity or time to check out Hocking’s Trylle Trilogy or Kanin Chronicles and I think that led to some confusion when I read this book, The Lost City. I felt very out of place and could tell that I was missing the bigger picture of this story. Nonetheless, I will give my honest review of Hocking’s newest book. Let’s start with the characters.

The Body at the Tower
The Body at the Tower by Y.S. Lee My rating: 2 of 5 stars It has been a while since I read A Spy in the House, but I remember enjoying the premise and thought it would be fun to continue with this series.

Der Kolumbusfalter und andere Abenteuer
Der Kolumbusfalter und andere Abenteuer by Walt Disney Company My rating: 1 of 5 stars As with most people during these very uncertain and even scary times, I’m stuck at home and trying desperately to find ways to fight off boredom. I was lucky when I found a digital version of the first 20 editions of Lustiges Taschenbuch. The publisher began publishing them way before I was born and when I was introduced to them (at an early age), there were about 30 years worth of editions I had missed. So, here I was, sitting comfortably on my couch, ready to embark on this historic journey.And…I don’t think I will…

The Wendy
The Wendy by Erin Michelle Sky My rating: 2 of 5 stars I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I was really excited about this story and I thought it had a good beginning, but somewhere along the way it lost its path and me along with it. without further ado I will get to the main part of my review before I forget what I was going to say. The characters were interesting, to say the least, not interesting in a way that would hold the reader’s attention, but interesting as to their motivations for acting the way they…
