The last book I read was 'The freedom building' by Martin Kendall. I gave it a rating of 3 out of 4. It was a good psychological thriller, but I hated the ending! I sometimes feel too many people try the classic Stephen King move, but would still recommend it to anyone who enjoys that genre.

The last book I read was The Fox by M. N. J. Butler. I rated it 3 out of 4. It was an interesting book but the author's choice of words was constrictive.

I just finished Long Way to the Highway by McCoy - would've given 0/4 if it was an option - incredibly preachy - to the point of almost not finishing the book. Every character interaction led to a sermon or recounting of a biblical story.

You should, the movie was very good and true to the book. But it only showed as much. The book had a lot more of stories to tell.

Book 98: I've read Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie Flagg. What a cute story about eccentric people living their life as they like as we always should do. I was completely unaware about the romance between the two female protagonists! That came as such a surprise that made me love the book even more. Totally recommend it. 4/5

Book 100. I've read El arte y las letras y otros ensayos (Art and Humanities and other essays) by Francisco Giner de los Ríos. This is a compilation of essays not listed on the general Complete Works of the same Spanish author which presents essays from different studies such as sociology, politics, religion, art, literature, etc. It's a fine work that gives you a clear introduction to the mind of this humble man who single handle the education and moral instruction of a whole generation of free thinkers on the Spain of the end of the XIX century. Very inspiring. 5/5

The last book I read was' The Body on the Bed'
by Leonard Krishtalka. It was a big chunk of a book but worth the time spent. It is a courtroom drama and a thriller but taking place in the 1800s. There is a lesbian relationship as much as could be had in those days. There is a discussion on women's suffrage and the discrimination faced by women in a male- dominated society. I loved the discussions and arguments to discern the poisons used for the crime. The intricate, step by step experiments to show how the crime was performed was captivating. This is an engaging read and I highly recommend it.

Hi,
Last Book I read and reviewed was 'Kalayla'. I rate it 3 out of 4 as it is a fresh and unique plot. The characterization is interesting especially that of Kalayla. :wink2:

I recently finished All This Time by Mikki Daughtry and Rachael Lippincott, and I rate this a full 4/4 stars. This book was AMAZING! A must read for sure! No spoilers, but it was about a young man who gets into a car accident with his girlfriend on their graduation night, and has a very big twist! Cute teen romance, but there is some profanity. I suggest it to ages 16 and up. If you are into young adult fiction romance, you will love this book! I haven't binge-read in so long, but this one had my attention!

The most recent book I read was The Shade of Highfall by Mark O'Dell. It is an action-adventure book that would entice readers who like books situated about 100 to 200 years back.

The last book that I read was Banished by Lauren Drain. It is the story of a young lady who leaves the Westboro Baptist Church. It's a great book and very honest about faith and religion. I give it five stars!!!!!
