Do you like historical fiction with time traveling and a smidge of romance? If that sounds like you don't bother reading my review any farther and just go pick up Into the Dim and enjoy it. I'd give Into the Dim 3 1/2 stars. At first, Hope (main character) was a claustrophobic, fearful, jittery mess that would have a panic attack at the thought of closed spaces. For me it didn't work - I was annoyed at the beginning when it seemed like every other thought was about how fragile she was. Finally, the panicky thoughts toned down and Hope got a little moxie. My other problem was that Hope didn't ask any questions. There were lots of strange things going on such as a secret room in the broom closet or her mom in a picture wearing a toga and she just shrugged them off like it's totally normal. When she did try to ask a question the other characters would change the subject or ignore her. She would not push for an answer even when it was obvious they were lying. This brings up my other issue - predictability. Hope didn't find out about time travel until about 50% into the book. Readers know about the time travel aspect from the beginning thanks to the book's summary, "...also a member of a secret society of time travelers." Having read Into the Dim, I can tell that the author has spend a great deal of time on researching the eras and infused the book with interesting facts such as kings and queens weren't called "your Majesty" until Henry VII's reign they were just referred to as "your Grace". I also enjoyed the romance between Hope and Bran. It was very cutesy and wasn't the main focus of the book. I would say that it wasn't insta-love only because of the backstory at the end of the book. Intrigued? Read the book. My favorite character was Phoebe, I wish she would have been the main character instead of Hope. She had a much better personality (so much more spunk) and I love her blue hair. Last problem with Into the Dim was that some of the scenes seemed cheesy, especially the fight scene with Eleanor in her bedroom. Might have just been me but... Anyway Into the Dim is worth reading. I was entertained and I enjoyed it which is what you look for in a book. *Thank you to NetGalley and HMH Books for Young Readers for allowing me to read this book.

THis is a great book about saving money. its actually a series and i i'm reading the first book and I am going to start the second one. So if you like the pool, and like the GIRLS you'll enjoy this. its about a teenage girl who has to do baby-sitting and dog-sitting to earn money to join the Riverside Swimming Club (RSC). When going to the pool with her friend Jaci as a guest, She meets the hottest competitive swimmer. Mike. Her frenemy, Christina, who is not really being that "friend". She's on the popular side and is TOTES Jealous that she has met THE Mike. When Christina "invites" Grace and her friend Mel, she sees Mike. And when he greets Grace. (Main Character) she totally flips. she's too jealous. SO far I really liked it. Please follow me to check out the next review to find out what happens in the end. Tell your friends to follow me too! I have daily reviews and comments on movies and books.

This book is so far my favorite. I love, love, love San Francisco!!!! This book goes though the history of the Golden Gate Bridge with a few fictional events, but all factual, well, facts.

I want to read it

looks cool

I loved this book because it was so suspenseful and I never wanted to put it down!

Sounds like a great book! I would read, this is the type of book I like, it is a little sad, it is also very realistic, I would give this book a 5.

This was a really great book, although there were a lot of scientific terms and a lot of parts where I had to read multiple times to understand, this was really a great book. The main characters in the book is Mark Watney, the other crew of Ares 3 and also people at NASA. I learned a lot from this book about space travel, what its like on Mars and a lot of science. I think this book is really interesting and Mark had a few near death situations but he managed to pull through and live. There were also some parts in the book that were really funny. I recommend this book to everyone who likes space travel, science fiction or action.

When Jessica's ex-spy father took another ML6 case, vanishes mysteriously, and ML6 refuses to help, Jessica Cole has been forced to deal with it all. Armed with a full makeup bag of high tech gagbets, Jessica finds her way to the AKSC skincare company. She was there to find her father and her father's target, Sam Bishop. While Jessica was undercover, she had no idea that she was set up by mysterious "Starfish". It's time for Jessica to prove that she can do more than just strike a pose. Cole must take on the bad guys and beat the spies at their own game. Throughout this page turning novel, Jessica learned to be confident, to fly on her own, and understood clearly who she truly is. Even though this book is not one of my favorites, I am still so grateful to read it. I wasn't sure whether to start this book or not since I'm not a big fan of spy stories. But after reading this book, I'm in love with action and spying novels. I would recommend this book to mostly everyone. It is always best to try new genres and a new style of reading.
