Excellent story! Even though I'm not a huge fan of fantasy or time travel, Emma Straub weaves a beautiful story of friendship and trust in this book. Great summer read!

Started reading not realizing it was YA. Even for YA the characters were 1D. Relationships developed because we were told they did, not because of any development.

Dark Stars New Tales Of Darkest Horror

An interesting collection of horror short stories. Like many collections, some are good and some not so good. There is also a good mix of horror styles, everything from your standard monster fare to deep psychological horror. The stories do generally get better further into the book. A good read to help find some new authors.

The Rose Code

Excellent book! It's meaty (850+pages in the large print) but worth every word! Set in WWII England, the code breakers were vital to the war effort and their personal lives become a beautifully woven drama. Kate Middleton's grandmother was part of the group, if you're a royal watcher.

Sherwood

I liked the book because it was about Marian. In the beginning of the book Robin died. So Marian took his role under disguise and was helping the injustice that was happening during this time.

Good story. Keeps you guessing until the very end. A little groundhogs day, but a good read.
