I really struggled with getting into this book. I think it was that I wasn't prepared for the way the story was going and I had a different idea as to where it was going.
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.I was a little disappointed as I thought this was going to be more about ways to change how you were doing things or how to make your job not suck the life out of you rather than looking for a different job. Just not what I was looking for, but for the right person I am sure it was very helpful.
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.A lot of great ideas. The author could have gone deeper in a few rather than just glancing over them. I absolutely did not like the narrator. I had to stop and start multiple times because the voice grated on my nerves.
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.I really struggled with this book from the start. I don't know much about the area and was unable to connect with the path that things were moving along in the story. I am going to try re-reading and if I have better feedback will return to add to this review.
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.Horror story about a motel in the city of Hunt. Continues for a number of years with many different patrons experiencing the haunted property. Well done, and the author keeps you on the edge of your seat awaiting the next horror.
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.Shadow Work Journal & Adult Coloring Book: Unveil Your Inner Strength, Find Peace Through Animal Wisdom, and Experience True Transformation Through ... (Shadow Work - Journey To Uncovering Self) by Kristina Rosen
I do a lot of adult coloring books and I have never had one that was more reading than coloring. If I am looking to color, I am trying to get out of my head and if I am looking to read that is a whole separate thing. I personally did not like this format at all.
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.Solstice: Newcastle witch trials historical fiction: 3 (The Newcastle Witch Trials Trilogy) by Helen Steadman
This is my first book of the trilogy, and now I need to go back and read the others! It is like a 1673 "mean girl" story. Enjoyable read.
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.I enjoyed the dramatic styling in this book. I think there are places that things could have been more flushed out and others that were too verbose. I really felt for the children as the mother of the 1900s was NOT what we consider very mothering in today's society, but probably very realistic for an upper class mother of that era.
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.I really struggled to get into this book. I am going to retry it and see if maybe it was my personal mind set at the moment and come to edit my review if it changes.
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.Slow to start. Once I got involved with the characters, I began to love it. The 3 main characters are in a vicious triangle of love versus hate. I am looking forward to the continuing saga.

I received this book as part of the Early Reviewers group. Thank you for a lot of great ideas on ways to keep my two pups busy and not getting into so much trouble. They are hyper and this has lots of ways to redirect that we have started using.
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.I received this book as part of the Early Reviewers group. I really struggled with keeping up with the story line. I could not seem to keep up with who was who. I will try again, but for now it was not a favorite for me. I felt like there needed to be a primary character that was the central focus of the story and not so many directions.

This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.Back To Yoga: A Whole-Body Routine You Can Do Anywhere in 30 Minutes or Less to Increase Energy, Focus, Relieve Stress, Lower Anxiety and Improve Flexibility, Balance, and Strength by S. Kelley
It was ok. Not what I was expecting, but an interesting look at the practice of yoga.
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.I struggled with the length...could have been done with much less detail to keep readers interested.
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.Definitely not what I anticipated. Was more about other people than Jackie in my opinion and not very informative or even interesting. I struggle to find anything in particular that I enjoyed about this book at all.

I can't wait to start putting some of this book into practice. Starting to work now so that my spring and summer will be super successful.
Awesome story with great characters in a love story, a fight for freedom and justice, and a struggle to learn their own strengths and meaning of life.
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.Received as an Early Reviewer. So slow moving that I took forever to read it. It wasn't the worst book I have ever read, but I struggled with getting to the end. I definitely expected a more fast paced read.
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.Received as an Early Reviewer. This one started slowly for me, but the more I read the more drawn into the story I got. The involvement of so many characters and the in-depth storyline and character development draws you into the story.
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.Received as Early Reviewer. I love the way it walks you through how each letter is developed. Definitely something to work on during the holidays when I am on break.
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.Very honest story of her life. Sharon Gless doesn't hold back and tells all. Enlightening and realistic look at how even famous people have issues and insecurities. Thanks for sharing Ms. Gless.
Young women are disappearing and they are trying to find the connection. Once they do things get crazed and scary for the main character and his daughter.
Jumps around a lot and is fairly confusing. I can commiserate with a lot of the feelings and sentiments about the pandemic. I feel like there was too much focus on too many main characters.
What happens when there is a major power disruption? People either sit around waiting for someone to fix it or they realize that it is serious and start putting their plans in play.
Not a typical SK horror story. Definitely one of those where he pulls you into the characters and you develop a relationship with them - feel like you know them and want them to win at the game of life. Billy is a hit man with something of a savior complex doing his last job before retiring. Awesome story and as always great characters.
The Second Life of Mirielle West: A Haunting Historical Novel Perfect for Book Clubs by Amanda Skenandore
Amazing story about a Hollywood socialite who discovers she has leprosy in the late 1920s and is sent to a "hospital" in Louisiana. The author draws out your compassion and empathy for the main character as well as engenders your anger on her behalf against the unfair treatment of the patients and the main character. They are treated as prisoners living behind a fence surrounded by barbed wire and placed in "jail" for trying to escape to return to their family. Heart rending, but in the end becomes a story of growth and learning to live life as we all must through the ups and downs making life the best that we can.
This book jumps around so much at the start that I felt like a ping pong ball being hit with a paddle. Midway through it starts to pull together, but still is a tad lacking.
