Stacey has to find a way to break the news to Charlotte and the BSC girls are working on putting together a spectacular end off.
I like that the book focus's on real events. Sometimes people move and it affects not only them but also others in their life. It's a sweet book about friendship.
Kristy hasn't been living in her new neighborhood that long. It's quite different from her old one. It's much more upscale and the other kids aren't as friendly. One could say they are snobby. Kristy runs into some issues with other baby sitters in the community. They aren't pleased that she is taking jobs away from them.
This is quite possibly the first book I have an issue with. A beloved pup dies and is quickly replaced by a puppy! This was a punch to the gut and felt callus.
Camilla's returned to work after maternity leave. Her first day back at work turns out to be a lot more hectic than she bargained for. The police arrive at her work to let her know that her husband has taken people hostage. Never in a million years will Camilla have predicted that Luke would do this. The hostages can't be identified and Camilla has no idea why Luke would do this.
Seven years pass and new evidence resurfaces resulting in turning Camilla's life upside down. Will this evidence exonerate Luke and will unanswered questions finally be answered?
The book starts off well enough but then ... it drags and drags. It finally picks up but it becomes incredibly predictable. This book wasn't exactly my cup of tea as it felt unrealistic. Famous Last Words is character driven and well developed but the plot lacked the energy and flow to keep my fully absorbed.
** I have received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Another installment in the Baby-Sitters Club (graphic novel) series. This one focuses on Claudia. There is a new girl at school named Ashley. She is spunky and enjoys art the way Claudia does. They bond over their mutual interest and Claudia ends up spending a lot of time with Ashley and missing BSC meetings!
This causes hurt feelings and Claudia has to learn how to navigate new and old friendships. Another quick and easy read. I recall making new friends in middle school and having to learn how to maintain friendships with new and older friends. It wasn't easy!
Logan ends up on a baby sitting job with Mary Anne. Will he join the BSC? Will the BSC clubs accept him as a member.
Do you remember your first crush? The nervous feelings and being a bit shy about it? If not this will bring back some of those memories.
This is one adorable addition to the series. I like that they shy girl got a boyfriend because that was NOT my experience,
This is the second book in the Dollanganger series. Cory is dead and Chris, Cathy and Carrie have escaped the attic and Foxworth mansion. A series of circumstances leads them into the care of a Doctor who adopts them. Paul Sheffield gives them the life they deserved one of love and safety.
The Dollanganger children are traumatized by their life in the attic and struggle to find peace. Cathy is full of anger and seeks revenge on her mother. Chris is obsessed with Cathy and Carrie misses her twin and feels she has no place in the world.
This book while having moments of brightness is dark and disturbing. Their will be moments of discomfort. I don't wish to give anything away and I am quite surprised how much I had forgotten!
I listened to an audiobook version of this book and it was done incredibly well.

The BSC steps up to the plate and pitches into help with childcare. It's a busy week for the girls but they work together to make it happen.
Another easy read. I find that I am reading these graphic novels in 30-45 minutes and I take a fair amount of time looking at the graphics so I can get ideas for coloring. This is an easy read but I hope they aren't too dated for the younger generation.
Cael Woods brother died a year ago. Cael and his brother were ment to go to Harvard and play ice hockey together but he hasn't stepped foot on the ice rink since his brothers death. Cael is full of anger.
Savannah's therapist and Cael's parents have encouraged them to go on a trip around the world for grieving teens. They are able to open up to one another and start on their healing journey.
While I didn't like this book as much as the first one in the series it was worth the read as it explores grief. I didn't like what Cole does with the character of Rune.
I attempted to listen to this on audiobook but the Boston accent that was done for Cael was distracting and I had to read the book instead.

Claudia and Mean Janine explores sister relationships and the pros and cons that come with it. The Baby-Sitters Club keeps on running as normal and they deal with tough clients while being supportive of Claudia.
Another easy read just with the graphics were a bit better!
