Review: For Real – Aliso..

I’m a huge fan of the TV show The Amazing Race. I have watched every season, the good and the bad. So when I heard about For Real and the Amazing Race vibe I knew it was a book I had to read. And although it was good and I enjoyed myself, there were somethings that I definitely would have changed to make it better. I will say it was a quick read without a lot of heavy lifting so that was a nice bonus. For Real is the story of two sisters, Claire and Miranda, who haven’t been all […]

Review: The Winner’s Cur..

I had no plans to read this book. I liked the pretty cover but that was about where it ended. The story didn’t grab my attention. But then something changed and I became curious about the book/series that everyone talks about. After questioning Twitter on what book I should read between two, I got 100% results for The Winner’s Curse. And thus began my journey of agonizing love of this series and I can now say I get the hype. The Winner’s Curse is the story of Kestrel and Arin. Kestrel is the daughter of a highly ranked general. Kestrel […]

Review: Love and Other Theorie..

I’m don’t know what to say about Love and Other Theories. I know that at 82% I almost didn’t finish it. I know that things happened that didn’t need to happen. I know that I was frustrated with a lot of it. I know that I wasn’t happy with the end. And I know that this could have been a different book if it went in a different direction. It could have been a fantastic book. Instead I was left feeling annoyed, let down, irrationally ragey (especially for a fictional character), and all around sad for what could have been. […]

Review: Top Ten Clues You̵..

After reading Top Ten Clues You’re Clueless I know one thing about Liz Czukas, she writes a cute story. Simply put this book was adorable. It was fun with some seriousness. It had a interesting plot with a small mystery. And it made me miss working retail and want to watch The Breakfast Club. Top Ten Clues You’re Clueless is about Chloe, a teenaged employee at the local supermarket that is stuck working on Christmas Eve. Having moved not long ago Chloe has had trouble making friends and relies on lists to help her get through lonely days. Heading into […]

Review: Crown of Midnight – Sarah J. Maas

Review: Crown of Midnight R..

I have reviewed this book before in the form of a discussion review. This is my own personal review written directly after reading. Do not finish this book at lunchtime and have to go back to work. That is the very first thing I can tell you, the very first thing that comes to mind when I think of Crown of Midnight because of HOLY CRAP! If I have said it once I have said it a thousand times, I’m not a fantasy reader. I’ve tried it and have been successful a handful of times but unsuccessful just as much. […]
