Promising review: "So. Much. Fun! You can tell a lot of work went into putting this book together. My husband and I made a meal together, and we had a great time (all whilst listening to the Harry Potter soundtracks). He made the Roast Chicken and I made the Pumpkin Pasties. Both turned out great! We can't wait to try the next dish and dessert from the world of Harry Potter!" —T.H. Ratledge
Promising review: "This book is a must-read. I read it in a day because I couldn't put it down. It is well written, insightful, and eye-opening. Not only does the author go into depth about his personal experiences, but he also spends time on historical background and the politics of the time. I think it's important for people to read this book to understand the social and political climate of North Korea. This is a solid five-star book." —Rose Princess
Promising review: "What a awesome horror book. Curled up in bed with a storm raging outside made this book even better. What are the noises coming from behind the walls?? What is it in the old crypt out back that desperately wants out? Exactly what happened to little Hannah? Add to that a old house with a family cemetery and you have one check of a great read. We need more books like this." —Kindle Customer
Promising review: "What an original story concept! The whole 'fish tank–like' world setting and the structure of concentric city rings are great built-in storytelling devices. The first installment has great characterization, which is extremely important in gore stories when a lot of characters die. The reader has to care about the characters somehow to keep reading. The author sticks it to us with the deaths! Certain scenes definitely pull at the heart strings. The story is scary and gut-wrenching — I love it! Overall, Attack on Titan is told very well. —Kiefer
Promising review: "Super fun to read a classic story from the point of the view of the villain. This book mostly focuses on the years prior to the actual Snow White story, with the last 15-20% covering the events of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. This one mostly stayed true to the film, with the addition of three witch sisters, who seem to be controlling the major events of the story. I enjoyed the sisters. My favorite part of this book was finding out the identity of the face in the magic mirror. What a great twist!" —Jaime

Promising review: "`Had never heard of this book, but snapped it up during this quarantine. Especially when I learned Stephen King was moved to write The Stand after reading it. Although written in 1949, it is still very relevant today, in light of what is happening around the world. Isherwood's observation of the collapse of modern society, the loss of his old family, his struggle to find survivors with whom he feels comfortable to start a new life, and the new Tribe that evolves from his efforts is a tale both tragic and yet heartening in it's reaffirmation of humanity's determination and perseverance. We take so much for granted, until it is suddenly taken from us. Then we realize that our human control is often an illusion, and we are all merely a blip in the passage of Earth's history. Civilizations come and go, as they have done for millenia before ours, and through it all, Earth [still] Abides. I found myself deeply involved in the lives of Ish, his partner Em, their friends and family members, and emotionally vested in their future. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and could not put it down. If you enjoy dystopian tales such as The Hunger Games, Lord of the Rings, etc., you might like this as much as I did!" —Kindle Customer
Promising review: "Great book. I could not put it down. You will get very attached to the characters and involved. I almost wanted to read the series again when I finished the last book. Definitely worth the time, even if you have seen the movies already. The books go into so much detail developing the characters that you get personally attached to them. Each one has their own quirks and oddities that make you fall in love with them. You honestly feel like they are friends. There is just the right amount of comic relief mixed in with the darker parts to keep you from getting really angry at the situations but nowhere near enough to be cheesy. And the descriptions of the people and places are so well written. This book sucks you in right from the beginning and won't let you back out. There were nights I literally stayed up until 4am to find out what happened next." —Amazon Customer
Promising review: "This was a gift for my nephew and he loved the book. He went right to Dad and asked it to be read. This continued off and on throughout the day with other family members. My nephew has has a few issues with having to go through many doctor visits due to a stream of allergies and also a severe ear infection which burst his eardrum and eventually led to tubes with-in his ears. I believe that this has comforted him knowing that one of his cartoon heroes had to go to the doctor too!" —TM
Promising review: "I really liked this book. As usual Alice Hoffman writes an excellent story filled with magic, fantasy, brilliant colors and wonderful characters. She excels in intimate details and strong description. This story highlights harsh island life mixed with fantastic and bright surroundings, mostly seen through the eyes of a rebellious girl, dreaming of Paris, growing to adulthood and the realities of life as a wife and mother. The other island inhabitants are just as brilliantly brought to life in their own stories and events. There is not a single book written by this author that I disliked. You can hardly go wrong in reading her unique tales and fascinating prose. Her pen is a paintbrush of unimagined colors and strokes. I strongly recommend anything and everything she has written. She and Stephen King, though so very different, continue to be among the best writers out there." —Penny
Promising review: "This book grabbed me from the first sentence! I couldn't put it down, I HAD to find out what would happen next! Joan and Deck move from Minneapolis to Lilydale, Deck's hometown. It's 1968 and Joan is pregnant. The beautiful little town seems idyllic, at first....then Joan discovers that there was a case of a missing child and mother from 24 years earlier. As the story progresses, Joan is convinced that she's being watched, that there's a conspiracy against her. Nobody believes her, not her "husband" or the police, or old friends. The ending is truly shocking, it hit me like a two by four to the head!!! I highly recommend this book, it's a must read!!" —Susan
Promising review: "This book is so beautifully illustrated. All of the cherished parts of the story are here in beautiful detail. I felt joy and sadness looking at these pictures. Absolutely beautiful! Ordered a second copy for my seven year old niece. —Margaret
Promising review: "This is the first time I've read a book by this author, and it was amazing! I literally could not put it down. As in, I was walking in the middle of rush hour Manhattan while reading this book. I found this story to be quite refreshing and original than a lot of other books I have read lately. It was fast paced and full of action without compromising on world and character building. The author wove such a seamless tale that I did not feel as though I was bogged down with every minuscule detail about the setting or surroundings to the point where I want to skip certain paragraphs, nor was there so much dialogue that I lost track of who was saying what or when. It was just a perfect flow that kept me riveted to each page. My only complaint (and it's very minor) would be that I really can't see the connection to Beauty and the Beast aside from the villagers and there being a curse." —No time
Promising review: "Truly an excellent read for those who are interested in true crime. This story takes place in the Great Northwest (Oregon). This book describes the crime in detail along with the follow-up police investigation and criminal trial outcome. Ann Rule is a true professional when it comes to writing about true crime. This book delves into the actual killer's psyche. The question will always remain 'why?' In order to come to a conclusion, the reader will be provided a psychological profile of the killer herself. The book includes actual photos of the police personnel involved and actual photos of the children, their mother, and the crime scene. Photos are not graphic." —Sean
Promising review: "This book was recommended by a pediatrician as one he reads his children each year during the holidays. Though the book was written in the 1940s, the message of standing up against bullying resonates well in today's environment. My eight-year-old granddaughter was enthralled. My five-year-old granddaughter stayed with us through most of the story. I was in tears as I read. I can see us reading The Hundred Dresses every year." —CarolB
Promising review: "Being born in 1940, and having uncles who served in the war, I was always interested in everything about it. I couldn't put it down. The historical facts are interwoven with a story that certainly could have taken place. It brought tears to my eyes more than once. Thank you so much for writing it." —RPN
Promising review: "I was enthralled from the very beginning, and love when an author makes me question falling for certain characters. There were times with the story that I was afraid things wouldn't work out, whether it was in the way I wanted or not. This story was bewitching in the best way, and I love that the author even composed a song to help bring it to life! I've read it twice now, and the audiobook was definitely the way to go. The characters are brought to life in vivid detail, and even though I knew what was going to happen, I still found myself gasping or crying at certain parts. It has the perfect mix of fantasy, magic and romance. The story will stay in your thoughts for days, until you find yourself reading it all over again. A beautifully woven tale, with enchanting characters and a world every reader longs to escape in." —Jenn
Promising review: "So relatable! I can’t tell you enough how much I love this book. I never really was into poetry, but I found Campbell’s writing. She so beautifully puts onto paper thoughts and feelings I’ve had for so long but never knew how to express. The way she shows the journey of being lonely to falling in love then the hardships that come with that passion to falling out of love, then the recovery after...masterful writing in my opinion. I’ve already read this book a couple times, and have several pages I’ve bookmarked that I return to often." —Olivia
Promising review: "I downloaded this book this afternoon as a Kindle First Look. I finished it a half hour ago. The characters were achingly real, the dialogue authentic, the emotions raw, and the plot had just the right twist to remain plausible with the rest of the story. Brilliant first novel! My only regret is that it wasn't a little longer!" —Mandy
Promising review: "Bought this for my Jekyll/Hyde 1-year-old terro—I mean, toddler. But our 3-year-old fell in love with it. We read it often and he likes to repeat 'you get what you get and you don't throw a fit!' when someone else is being cranky. Very cute book." —Pourfrosting
