My Thoughts:
It's a page-turner, or for me, an ear burner? It's quick and dirty and a fun twist. I didn't get it totally figured out but I guessed some of it so I can now pat myself on the back! Ha. Some of the character development was a little flat but overall it was a great summer "beach" read!
Recursion by Blake Crouch

Format: Hardcover, 329 Pages, Library
Rating: 4 stars
My Thoughts:
This was a fun one! Crouch knows how to make very smart sci-fi thrillers. It got a little bogged down toward the end but overall it came together nicely. Another fun summer "beach" read. This would make a great movie and then a spin-off TV series. Seriously.

It's gorgeously illustrated. The plot was a little hard to follow but there are talking magical cats in this one. So bonus. It's a thrilling fantasy with a complicated protagonist. I'm looking forward to the next volume.

Rating: 3.5 stars
My Thoughts:
It's a fun sci-fi/fantasy graphic novel for middle schoolers. Plot is a bit convoluted toward the end. But it shows some promise. I'll probably pick up the next in the series. G also really enjoyed it.
Jukebox Joyride by Jacob Stein

Format: Audible, 3 hours and 31 minutes, Own
Rating: 4 stars
My Thoughts:Another listen in our long drive to and from Washington! A music box transports two siblings back in time to help save their uncle and restore order. It wasn't fantastic but it was cute and exciting and it kept G entertained. So an extra star just for that!
Monstress has been on my radar for a while. I need to get to it.
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty good and intense. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it when you get to it!
