    Despite all the abuse and trauma each of the characters carry, the humour in this book is an absolute delight!

    Thoughts after chapter 13

    It's... okay? It's not exactly boring, but also not exactly exciting either. I'm hoping it starts picking up soon.

    That one book that you LOVE but no one you know has read it!!

    Okay, so we all have that one book or series that we aaaabsolutely LOVE that no one we know has read it or even heard of it! I wanna know what it is, and who knows, maybe someone here has read it and you can make a new friend!?

    Mine is The Banned And The Banished series by James Clemens. All time favorite series, no doubt about it or questions asked. It's. So. Good! It has everything you could possibly want in a book and the twists and turns and there's things that happen in the first book that don't get resolved till the last book. The books are so intricately woven its a masterpiece....AND NO ONE HAS EVER HEARD OF IT!!!!

    Clever?: James, in narration and in dialog with fellow slaves speaks standard English, but uses a dialect when speaking to white people to hide his intelligence.

    You can be damn sure I skipped right on passed that long song. Reading on kindle and couldn’t even make out the words with the font.

  • recommendations for books set in Florida?

    curious if anyone has recommendations because I don’t usually see my home state featured in books much

    I think the only books I’ve read that were set in Florida were Carl Hiassen’s middle grade novels
