The Secret, Book, & Scone Society


4🌟


I really enjoyed this book. Nora, Estella, and Hester were all characters that felt like real people you'd meet in everyday life. I liked that they all had back stories that caused trust issues but they all found they could open up to each other and become close frends. Loneliness was no longer something they had to face... And for Nora especially, the realization opened up the possibility of yet another emotion. Hope. Not just that she could make new friends in a town she had fled to, or clear her new friend's name when she fell accused of crimes... But that she could also potentially have feelings for another man after the emotional wreckage her ex husband left her with. 

The plot line, while slightly predictable, was very well written. There were enough small plot twists and turns throughout that helped retain an air of mystique. The conclusion was quite action packed, which I loved. I'm excited that this is a series since we were left with such an awesome cliff hanger. It'll be fun to pick up the others and hang out some more with these women!

Batman: Nightwalker

Bruce Wayne is a senior in HS when we first meet him in this story. His best friends are Diana and Harvey Dent. Since his parents died, it has been up to Bruce to continue their annual gala where they contribute to different charities. This year's gala is different though... it's held on Bruce's birthday, on which he decides to go for a ride in one of Wayne Tech's exotic new cars. Unfortunately he rides straight into a path that ends up leading him to a sentence of working the summer at Arkham. While there, he encounters the mysterious Madeline. She's more trouble than Bruce realized. 4/5🌟 Rating I'm really enjoying this series so far. I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of Catwoman!

5🌟 ♪Who-o-oa, Vampirina... Coolest ghoul in the human wo-or-orld ♪ We LOVED this Little Golden Book adaptation of one of the episodes from the Disney Jr series. It's got two of LO's favorite things... Vampirina herself AND a baby. Vampirina is recruited to help babysit when her aunt comes to town with baby Nosferatu. Her dad is too busy watching the fangball championship featuring his favorite team, The Trolls. Vampirina should have it handled... after all, how much trouble could a baby vampire be???

The Woman In The Window

You guys, I'm ashamed to say it took me so long to read this book. I had started it a couple of times but never really got past the first 40 pages or so. Since I was already in a slump, I decided to give it another go and took the plunge. Check out this blurb from Goodreads, and then my review. 👀📸🍷👀📸🍷👀📸🍷👀📸🍷👀📸🍷 Anna Fox lives alone—a recluse in her New York City home, unable to venture outside. She spends her day drinking wine (maybe too much), watching old movies, recalling happier times . . . and spying on her neighbors. Then the Russells move into the house across the way: a father, a mother, their teenage son. The perfect family. But when Anna, gazing out her window one night, sees something she shouldn’t, her world begins to crumble—and its shocking secrets are laid bare. What is real? What is imagined? Who is in danger? Who is in control? In this diabolically gripping thriller, no one—and nothing—is what it seems. 👀📸🍷👀📸🍷👀📸🍷👀📸🍷👀📸🍷 Y'al...
