  Hey ForeverBookers, I’ve just finished  “The Memory Of Babel”  by Christelle Dabos, and I’m surprised to say that I really enjoyed it. I’d heard that this was the most romance forward of the four  “Mirror Visitor” books, and while I’m not sure that’s necessarily the case I really enjoyed the pacing of this book. It didn’t feel as if we were stuck on a part of the story for too long anywhere.   “The Memory Of Babel”  is set around two and a half years after the conclusion of  “The Missing of Clairdelune.”  Our protagonist, Ophelia lost her betrothed, Thorn due to her powers as an Anima not being strong enough. Can she find him and in so doing help bring the Other, the formidable, unknowable enemy to the surface? I’ll let you read for yourself but I enjoyed this 3rd book a LOT more than #2, which seemed to just plod along slowly. With   “The Memory Of Babel”  I was always eager to turn the next page!  “The Memory Of Babel”...

Hey ForeverBookers, I’ve just finished Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones but it wasn’t for me, unfortunately. I didn’t like how whimsical it was. I much prefer plots that I can understand. There’s a chance I might reread it but not for a while. 2 stars! The characters were really the only things I liked in this book. 

  How are you all today? I hope you’re well! I’ve just finished reading Caraval and I bloody well LOVED it!!!  5 Stars! It centres around two sisters, Scarlett and Donnatella or Tella. They have an abusive father, so they want to escape to a different place. When Tella hears of Caraval, a traveling circus like show she’s eager to go to try to escape. Scarlett is the more pragmatic of the sisters. She wants to escape but thinks it’s impossible. She’s also engaged to someone she’s never met, someone her father selected. She wants to escape this too. They both venture to Caraval, the place of dreams, where they experience dreams and desires amongst the most desirable. Can they win the competition aspect and escape their father? I’ll let you read for yourself but I HIGHLY enjoyed the plot, to the point of finishing the book within 24 hours! The main part of the plot of Caraval follows Sc arlett as she tries to find her sister who gets lost right at the start of the 5 day ...

  Hi ForeverBookers, How are you doing in this hot weather? I hope you’re doing well!  I’ve just finished reading “A Photo Finish,” which I really enjoyed. It had a little bit of a slower start than “Off To The Races,” #1 Gold Rush Ranch which I was worried about when I started but at about the half way point it gathered pace and was really good from then on.  “A Photo Finish” tells the story of Violet, the little sister of Rhett and Cade that have their books in the next Elsie Silver series, “Flawless” and “Heartless” books 1 and 2 in the “Chestnut Springs series.” I loved reading about Violet. She’s a horse woman as most of the main characters be they male or female, in Elsie Silver’s books are. She’s very much just into her own life. Her horses are the most important things to her. Her main horse in “A Photo Finish” is called Pipsqueak, or Pippy as she’s affectionately known. That is until a certain man called Cole Eaton enters her life… I read “A Photo Fin...
