This Spells Love
Review #539 I read this one for a bookclub I host in Raleigh. The author even sent us a packet of free bookmarks for SWAG! It had a lot of “13 Going on 30” vibes with Jennifer Garner. I’d give this standalone romcom a solid 4.75/5 stars. I really liked all the...
The Inmate
Review #538 Of all the books I’ve read by this author, The Inmate has been my least favorite so far. I was frustrated for most of it due to the repetition. I also predicted the bad guy so I was underwhelmed. I’ll rate it a 4.0/5 stars. These were my notes and...
Icebreaker
Review #537 This book was interesting in so many ways. I even vented to my sister a bit about its intriguing contradictions. For how many smut & drunken frat vibe scenes there were, the characters felt impressively deep since it balanced with them going to therapy...
Bright Winter Lights
Review #536 This audiobook completes all the audios I could find by Liz Maverick so far. I give this fake dating/ 2nd chance story a 4.5/5 stars. It was short, cute, easy, sweet & clean. I feel like I know the whole group of friends now. My biggest complaint is I...
How to Lose a Guy Before Christmas
Review #535 This audio was cute, short, easy, fluid and sweet. The ending felt a bit drawn out but I loved the holiday festivities in Tinsel. It read like a Hallmark movie with a touch of uniqueness because of the weird motel. I loved the male narrators voice but wish...
As Luck Would Have It
Review #534 This Hockey romance was really heavy on the racist and sexist theme so after a while I got a bit tired of being preached to. I love diverse cultures in general but the “I need to finally speak up for myself” after being used as a doormat her whole life was...
The Boyfriend
Review #533 I listened to this in one sweep during a long car drive. It was definitely messed up but I rate it a solid 4.5/5 stars. In two points of view, Tom (before- in high school) and Sydney in present day, The Boyfriend has 4 main suspects of the brutally...
November wrap up
I finished 13 books in November. I’m getting more into audiobooks since they free my hands. As always, these are in reverse order with favorite on the bottom so keep scrolling. Have you read any of these? Do you disagree with any of the ratings? Each have a unique...
Skyshade
Review #532 “If waging war for one woman is a crime, then please do consider me a criminal. If killing thousands to keep you alive is wrong, then consider me a villain. If loving you this much is my downfall… then consider me already on my knees.” “I would do it a...
Nightbane
Review #531 “I’ve been stabbed a thousand times… but none of that hurts more than hearing you say goodbye.” “My entire world was night, and you lit a match. No matter what happens to me in this life, I’ll find you in the next one. I’ll always find you. What I feel for...
Review #530 I would’ve rated this thriller a 4.3 until the last 30 minutes (of the audio) which deserved a 4.7 so I’ll average that to a total of 4.5/5 stars! My random ramblings while reading: The bullying from Kenzie is absolutely infuriating and exhausting. It’s...
On a Night Like This
Review #529 This audiobook was a short, sweet, clean enjoyable holiday romcom. The guy, Elliott had a great voice, both in personality & narration. In two points of view, it shows the beginning of their relationship I’d rate it 4.3/5 stars. It was unremarkable and...
Booked for the Holidays
Review #528 This audiobook was short, cute, sweet and have the feel goods for a fluff holiday novella. Not many notes, I’d recommend it as an addictive easy read to pass the time while doing chores.
Lightlark
Review #527 I give this YA fantasy romance by Alex Aster a 4.9/5 stars! it’s all in on point of view for Isla, in third person narrative. I purposefully waited to read this until the third book came out this week so I can binge them in a row. There are lots of...
DNF- Eight Winter Nights
Eight Winter Nights pissed me off right from the beginning for many reasons. First, because he’s being a fraud by using Rachel’s words to try to swoon Tamara. Secondly, Tamara is a shitty friend. Third, Rachel has no self confidence in the least. Oz shouldn’t be...
