My last book post was in mid March.. so the following are two months worth of reading.   Vengeful by V.E Schwab Synopsis  - Magneto and Professor X. Superman and Lex Luthor. Victor Vale and Eli Ever. Sydney and Serena Clarke. Great partnerships, now soured on the vine. But Marcella Riggins needs no one. Flush from her brush with death, she’s finally gained the control she’s always sought and will use her new-found power to bring the city of Merit to its knees. She’ll do whatever it takes, collecting her own sidekicks, and leveraging the two most infamous EOs, Victor Vale and Eli Ever, against each other. With Marcella's rise, new enmities create opportunity--and the stage of Merit City will once again be set for a final, terrible reckoning. Thoughts - This is the second book in the series. I had read the first earlier in the year and felt it was good but lacked something. The first book had felt a bit robotic in its delivery. This one I liked...

Maui, Hawaii part 3

Happy to see you are all enjoying our trip to Hawaii so much. It was such a magical place.. we had so many incredible experiences but now we come to an end. DAY 9 We had another relaxed morning. We spent some time on the beach and then walked over to Black Rock. It was a large rock jutting out that people climbed and jumped off of. It was located at the end of our beach just a couple of minutes away. What we didn't know was that it was a sea turtle hotspot!  They were not shy at all and just kept swimming up to us. Around 1:30pm we headed out to explore Maui's upcountry. Upcountry Maui is located on the slopes of Haleakalā and offers a cooler weather and a more rustic, paniolo (cowboy) vibe. He headed straight for Makawao. It was a cute area lined with galleries, shops and restaurants. It felt like we weren't on a tropical island anymore.  We ate at Freshie's. Nice and simple food. Very tasty and generous portions.  There are two famous bakeries in Makawao, Komoda Store...

Maui, Hawaii part 2

Hello May?  Continuing with our Maui adventure. Day 8    Since our day spent on the Road to Hana involved a very very early wake up, the next day we woke up with no alarms. We are generally early risers but we took the time to just lay in bed and relax. Once we were up we headed to Whalers Village.  Whalers Village is a shopping and food area nestled in the midst of the line of resorts in Kaanapali. We got in the long Island Vintage line to grab some breakfast. While Whalers Village was convenient it did not have a lot of options and we missed the endless choices available to us in Waikiki.  We took our treats and had breakfast on the beach.. and H in a tree. Then we walked a bit on the beach before it was time to board our boat for a snorkel and whale watching tour.  We booked a tour with Gemini Sailing Charters. We had an 11am sail time and it included lunch and snacks.  I can not rave enough about this trip. This little dude above did not want...
