I haven't heard about this in the news, which is interesting.

It's not about Ukraine having a chance, it's about the probability.

The issue is very tragic and complicated, and we don't know how it'll play out. But Ukraine is being invaded as we speak-- I'm afraid it won't stand a chance against Russia unless it gets some serious help. However, many countries are hesitant on actually putting their troops on Ukranian soil. The US just got out of Afghanistan only a few months ago and it'd be a very bad idea to send our troops to Ukraine all of a sudden. The only way I can see the US fighting is *if* one of the NATO countries are invaded. That might be unlikely, because as soon as a NATO country is invaded it's officially war and that'd be an extremely bad idea for Russia. KIND REMINDER: Do NOT hate the Russian people! There is a lot of misinformation going on, and it'd be super unfair to categorize millions of people into one box. BE KIND to the innocent citizens of both countries!! This is tragic on both ends!!

I don't think WW3 will happen anytime soon.

I am not sure you're using the correct flag of Ukraine in your emojis.

This is strangely beautiful! Gives me summer vibes.

I've been rereading the Miss Peregrine's Home series because it's one of my all-time faves!! I'm thinking of starting another series soon so I'll have to check out the Twisted Tale series!

Wow so many great options!! I would go with the Keeper of the Lost Cities series or The Selection!

Lark's summer trip to Swallowtail Island is nothing like how she envisioned it to be after she returns to her mother's childhood home after her passing, a place of memories and mystery. Lark is immediately drawn to the story of a boating accident that had occurred about 70 years prior and joins forces with Nadine, her mother's hometown friend, to try to solve the case that had stumped the island for decades. It just didn't make sense that Nadine's grandfather, Albert Pritchard, would have crashed into the rocky expanse of Ada's Reef, marked by a flashing buoy, considering he knew the waters like the back of his hand. Nadine is convinced that his death could be related to the death of Captain Cheever, who was a powerful man on the island who could have had sinister motives dealing with the land and wealth left behind. Lark's fresh perspective on the case might be just what Nadine needs to finally solve the mystery-- although people in the town may feel otherwise as the investigation pulls other lost truths of the island to the surface. Will Lark and Nadine uncover the solution to this Swallowtail Island mystery? And what is the significance of the small blue swallow figurine that Lark finds that she soon realizes may have been intentionally hidden? Readers will be drawn into the pages of this book by the captivating characters and story that author Michael D. Beil creates. I really enjoyed this book and loved Lark's honest opinions and GHT's (God's Honest Truths) that made this book an engaging read and left me wanting more of Swallowtail Island! I would recommend this book to anyone looking for an enthralling read, and especially to lovers of birds and age-old mysteries, and for ages 12+!
