Libby
What It is? ebooks have been around for awhile, but Libby is somewhat new. I’m impressed that there is an incredible app out there for borrowing ebooks from libraries. I remember when I first borrowed books from libraries I never wanted to borrow the ebooks because it was too complicated. Now, it is easier than… Read more

Wrong Place Wrong Time
Storyline: 4 Stars Time loops! I’ve read a few time loop-type books, but this one was well-written and everything came together at the end. There were a few things left open ended . . . Like what happened to the father in the end? Looking back, not everything makes complete sense, but I appreciate how… Read more

Dark Matter
Storyline: 4 Stars I honestly did not know what I was getting into when I read this book. The cover looks absurd and I knew in general what dark matter was, but that was about it. I was pleasantly surprised with the book! It was unreal. The concept behind it is complicated in theory, but… Read more

The Aurelian Cycle
Storyline: 4 Stars I had a friend rate this series highly on Goodreads and she’s an expert in fantasy which is why I picked these books up. This was actually my first fantasy series that focused on dragons (besides Tolkien). I haven’t been drawn to dragon stories before, but the series was so much more… Read more

The Silmarillion
The Safe Pages Rating Romance There are some romantic stories, including Beren and Luthien, which is probably the most famous love story in Tolkein’s world.

The Seven Year Slip
The Safe Pages Rating Romance The book is a romance, so it is not surprising that there is romantic content. There were two scenes that were intimate, about a page each, that I had to skip over because of the graphic content. The scenes seemed out of place because the rest of the book was… Read more

Gone With The Wind
The Safe Pages Rating Romance Gone With the Wind is an epic novel that is centralized around the romance between Scarlet and Rhett. Scarlet flirts with a lot of men and she marries and has children, but there are not many intimate scenes. There are a few scenes of kissing, but nothing goes beyond that. Everything… Read more

The Four Winds
The Safe Pages Rating Romance In the beginning of the book there were a couple short scenes of intimacy between a couple. It was not graphic and was a few sentences without any details, but they were scenes that I skipped over. Additionally, there is one scene later in the book where intimacy is implied,… Read more

The Time Machine
The Safe Pages Rating Romance There was no romance in this book. The main character befriended a female humanoid creature, but there was nothing romantic between them. Violence There were a few scenes of violence, but the descriptions were not graphic. One humanoid creature was seen to be eaten, there was a fire that killed… Read more

None of This is True
The Safe Pages Rating Romance The two narrators are married women, and most of the “on-screen” romance is minima. There are some descriptions of romance in the past, but they are not graphic. There were accusations of s*xual relationships between individuals, but they would fall in the violence category and there is no proof that… Read more
