Spare
by Prince Harry
View in Library Catalog



I believe this is the first autobiography I have ever read, and I typically avoided them because I thought that they would not be interesting or relevant to me. So here is an autobiography about someone who not only lives in another country but is also royalty. Certainly nothing I would be interested in, right? But I found the book so fascinating. He portrays not only his life in the royal family of England, but also the challenges faced if the life you want to lead conflicts with royal expectations. It’s a story about wanting to live life fairly and freely. And he does an excellent job of this by focusing on his experiences and emotions beginning with the violent and untimely death of his mother and concluding after he and his wife moved away from England. And throughout it all is the insidious and unrelenting hounding by the English Paparazzi. This story has opened up a whole new genre that I can now explore. Thank you!
Mad Honey

As always the book covered a current topic. This time there was a big twist at the end. A bit more than I wanted to know about bees. Book kept me interested beginning to end.
Crook Manifesto

I had read Harlem Shuffle, but you didn't need to do so to catch up with Ray Carney and his life. Book was great and it kept open the idea of a(nother) sequel. I was sorry when I was on the last pages and the book ended. I appreciated the view of 1970 New York City, especially Harlem. This book was divided in three parts, each was exceptional to add up to an amazing read.
The Constant Princess

Although they can probably be read in either order, it seems like this would best be read after reading Gregory’s Three Sisters, Three Queens. This story is about a Spanish princess who comes to England to marry an English prince. It’s largely about the same series of events but this story is from the Spanish princess’s point of view while Three Sisters, Three Queens is from the point of view of her sister-in-law. The events are so interesting on their own, but it’s fascinating how the viewpoint on the same events varies so wildly between the two women. Then there is the pageantry, love, and betrayal. I have really enjoyed both of these books.

The Last Lifeboat

Enlightening historical fiction about the Battle of Britian, and the realization by many of the British parents that their children were in great peril. They could endure the Luftwaffe bombing or choose to send their children as far away as Australia or Canada, on boats crossing dangerous seas that were patrolled by German U boats. Brave volunteers offered to escort groups of children to these far away ports. This is their amazing and harrowing story. Poignant and heartwarming.

This is such a sweet and cozy omegaverse romance. It’s just a lovely story with lots of spice, and two people finding love when they least expected it. I really enjoy learning the different habits and needs for each animal shifter type. Definitely a five-star read for me!

The Road

We are finally in Hell. We’ve learned why the seals are falling, and our villain as made an appearance. I loved exploring more of Hell, and Lucifer made a big splash with his fight against Kobal at the end. It was intense, and even though I’ve read this series before, I was still on the edge of my seat!
