Anas Elkalla anaselkall81ee — Thud relies on repetition and numerous cute animals to tell its story of cooperation, bravery and tolerance. Basil, the littlest animal of the forest goes on a quest to find out who the monster is and how he can be stopped. In the process he joins up with all the other animals of the forest, all of whom are afraid of the monster. Together though they feel brave enough to confront the monster. Thud though isn't a simple monster story because the monster, while big and ugly for being so different is not mean and certainly not a monster after all. I won't spoil the ending though. Go read the book and find out!

Guillermo Hernandez _ — A parent will do anything to protect the life of their child and this is exactly what Regan Miller is about to do. As her boyfriend lies dying in her arms from gunshot wounds, he tells Regan they're coming for the baby and she needs to run. But before she can ask the two most important questions: who wants the baby and why, he dies. Determined to keep her unborn child safe Regan leaves the only world she knows. For the next 18 years Regan has become fiercely protective of her daughter Kelsey and has taught her everything there is to know about survival. But Regan's split second decision to let her guard down backfires and danger steps out of the shadows threatening everything Regan has spent 18 years protecting. I've never read anything written by Natalie J. Damschroder, but now having read 'Fight or Flight' I'm definitely going to be adding more of Damschroder’s work to my shelves. The title of the book is what first inspired me to read the synopsis. I really enjoy when a title reflects the story that's about to unfold and Damschroder did a great job achieving this. As most people know 'Fight or Flight' is a biological response to danger and this story elicits fear in the reader by exploring one of humanities basic conflicts--how does a parent save the life of their endangered child? Do they fight? Or do they flight? Some of the main characters in the story were Tyler, the flirtatious neighbor; Tom, Kelsey's jock boyfriend and Van, Kelsey's feisty best friend. While all the characters were well developed, I didn't enjoy the names Damschroder choose for two of them, Tom and Tyler. Both are prominent male characters and both start with the letter T and these similarities at times lead me to re-read scenes as I would easily get these characters confused. Taking the character confusion out of the equation 'Fight or Flight' ended up being an enjoyable read for me. There were many suspense scenes which helped keep the story moving in a forward momentum and the pace was fast, both things I look for when reading a book. The romance component was there, and tastefully done. The biggest plus that secured my return to Damschroder’s work, was the way the story ended. I loved that I wasn't able to figure out who the villain was, and how the villain was connected to characters. I always say if I can't figure out the “whodunit”part of the book, the author has done their job and will find me reading more of their work. I can't wait to recommend it to my fellow readers.

Sayon Kang sayonkang — Margaret Schlegel has easily become one of my favorite "classical heroines", if you could categorize her as such. Unappologetically single, bordering on "spinsterhood", for most of the story, she finds contentment in art and the pursuit of lively debate. She reads as a very contemporary character as a result. Her world is insular yet she has a preternatural ability towards empathy and is the glue for the characters around her. Her relationship with the widower Henry Wilcox is almost unromantic in its sensical development, yet you still feel compelled to see their relationship succeed against familial obstacles. A really beautiful read with very rich characters at its center.

Jessica Fiuza _essica_iuza — this is a book i am reviewing for the feminist review. i would love to discuss with someone else who has read it. i guess i was disappointed some at what i expected out of the book. and what i got. it sounded like this mind-blowingly scandalous challenging ideas about women book. but it wasn't. read it. so you can tell me what you think.
