Wonder Woman: Warbringer Wonder Woman: Warbringer by Leigh Bardugo
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved every second of this story. When Leigh Bardugo sets out to write something she definitely doesn't do it halfway. I really enjoyed being able to talk to my comic fanatic fiancé about what was going on in the book and him comparing it fondly to the comics he read. For me, this story is uplifting and inspiring, never letting go and taking a special spot in my heart. This one is going on my shelf as a favorite and I hope one day I have a little girl to pass it down to. Follow your dreams and stay true to your heart.

The world building in this is perfect. Not too little and not too much. This book is perfect for anyone wanting to know more about Wonder Woman and enjoy another chapter in her life. I felt like the characters were very well written and the story was exciting with twists in Bardugo fashion. To say I want another one of these books about Wonder Woman by Leigh would be an understatement.

Diana is the daughter of an Amazon Queen. She lives on an island that no mortal can see, gifted by the gods. As a princess certain things are expected of her as one day she will rule in her mother's place. Diana feels something is missing though, that she hasn't earned her place with her sisters because all she has known is the island. During a day of games she is running a race to prove she is worthy when she sees a massive shipwreck right at the barrier of the island. She risks the race when she sees a girl who may still be alive. No mortal can step foot on the island because the gods deemed it so. When Diana brings the girl on the island everything starts to go wrong. Diana is presented with a hero's quest. One that will doom her forever to never see her home again or will earn her the rightful spot with her sisters she so desperately desires.

Review: Robin

Robin by Dave Itzkoff My rating: 5 of 5 stars This book will be released on May 15, 2018. When I got approved for an advanced copy I was ecstatic. I was also nervous that maybe the author won't do the man justice but that thankfully was not the case. This book is so thoroughly researched with a lot of cooperation from his family and friends. The author doesn't judge or take jabs at Robin but lays out the facts and lets you form your own opinions without being pushy. It would be an understatement to say I got lost in this book. It was as engrossing as watching Robin perform. Robin Williams was not a perfect man. He had doubt and insecurities and health problems. He was upfront about his many addictions and got help. He was sober when he passed away by his own hand. He had an undiagnosed brain disease that may have caused him to take his own life without ever knowing he was doing so. Again my heart broke all over again. Robin Williams was dispu

Body Swap by Sylvia McNicoll My rating: 4 of 5 stars This book was a real treat. It's a comedic contemporary with a heartfelt emotional relationship between an elderly woman and a teenager. It has some great lessons in humility, respecting the elderly, the positives and negatives of technology and even crossing racial divides. I highly recommend this novel for a good emotional read! Hallie is completely nervous. The guy she has been crushing on is at the mall. She and her friend Addy just arrived and she's discover a huge zit on her forehead. All she can think about is finding out what Khael said about her while texting her friend when she gets hit by a car in the parking deck and dies. She finds herself at a wonderful carnival and Eli leads her to the rollercoaster. She knows once she rides this there is no coming back and she's never even been kissed! She says she doesn't want to ride alone and waits. Susan appears along side Hallie

Charlotte Holmes and the Locked Box by Sherry Thomas My rating: 4 of 5 stars An enjoyable short story written about Charlotte Holmes, Sherlock's sister. She has begun solving cases for clients due to his poor health. She has the keen and stunning acumen that her brother does and this story is delightful and refreshing! This is a great quick read with a curious riddle. Great when you are in a reading slump or just need a break from a long book you're reading. I would highly recommend this story and it only takes a few minutes to read. View all my reviews
