I’ve heard this book was fantastic. This is my first Elin Hilderbrand and it won’t be my last. The story was cute and light.

Words don’t really do this book justice. It was beautiful, heartbreaking, and thought provoking. The writing was perfect and helps you really capture what is going on with Charlie at any given moment. I didn’t read this in high school and picked it up only after my son told me it was his favorite book. This quickly became one of my favorites, too.

I never really thought about some of the stranded flights. Reading about what happened was really interesting. However, I skimmed the last 100 or so pages because it just became very redundant. Each new section was choppy and basically went over the same details but at a different location.
The Crimson Walls Of Algorath by Enna Hawthorn

What a wild ride! I was on the edge of my seat from the first chapter. Enna outdid herself with this one. The world building was fantastic and the character development was on point. True colors are shown, tragedy struck, and characters step up for what they believe in - for better or worse.

Even the side characters were amazing to follow and had me second guessing intentions and plans.
