I've read and perused enough
devotional book and when I was given an advance copy of Core 52 by Mark E
Moore, I was like another devotional book.
But I have to eat crow. I really like this devotional book. It touches on the gospel but make it practical and easy to digest.
Each week it takes one verse starting from Genesis and gives a topic
that's related to the verse and on first day of the week, you read that
devotional, then rest of the week it ask you to memorize the verse of
the week, read more related verses and what I love, it challenges you to
put what you read into practice. How rare is that, a devotional book
that ask you to put into practice what you read.
This is my goto devotional book now. I would highly recommend it.

Wilder Girls - Rory Power
The premise of the Wilder Girls is about a girls school that is being
quarantined due to a breakout of Tox virus on the island. The Tox virus
causes physical deformity with whoever catches it. So basically all the
inhabitants of the island has some form of Tox virus; it appears the
virus also affects the wildlife and nature.
The three main characters are: Hetty, Byatt (Hetty's best friend) and Reese and the premise of the story is really the relationships of the three girls as they navigate surviving on the island, in a way like Lord of the Rings, the strongest girls, like the Boat Shift, are the one who gets the food or have the power, not counting the headmistress and Welch, one of staff.
Note: there are themes of violence and LGBT in this book.
But the twist in the story is when Byatt goes missing and Hetty goes crazy because she can't find her friend so she and Reese sets out to look for Byatt on the island. What they find isn't what they thought.
Let your imagination go because if you catch the various clues along the way, you can sorta figure out where this story is going.
Don't want to spoil it so I'll leave it off. The story gets you think about the world and things that are happening around us, is there something more than what we see?
I enjoyed this book for the most part but something about the book didn't catch my attention as I hoped it would. Maybe I could not relate to the characters, not a page turner for me. I was going to pass this onto my teenager but I don't think she will enjoy this book.
