Review #473 I give this LONG sequel a generous 4.0/5 stars. I have a bookclub meeting for the first one, Legendborn, in this series tomorrow but don’t feel like the sequel drastically changed much of what I’d comment on. (Yikes… That doesn’t feel like a great sign.) I...

The Rebound
Review #473 The Rebound had me on a roller coaster ride of extreme emotions. So even if the book was terrible (which it wasn’t) I’d rate it high because I barely have strong feelings and am grateful for this book to tug some out of me. I thought about the characters...
Legendborn
Review #472 This is a looooong book so settle in. I’m reading it for a bookclub so I’m excited to share thoughts with others. I give this YA (modern) fantasy a 4.6/5 stars. The plot was exciting and fast, the main character had depth and real issues, & the prose...

The Paris Library
Review #471 I gave this historical fiction a 3.4/5 stars. It took me a while longer than usual to get through it. I think my brain is shifting away from this genre overall. Here’s my random notes while reading: Odile is interviewing to work at the library...

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder
Review #469 I gave This YA mystery/drama a 4.0/5 stars. I was Supposed to buddy read it with a friend but she DNF at chapter 7 because she didn’t like the transcript things switching back and forth for the PoV since it took her out of the momentum. I know there...
Enchanted to Meet You
Review #468 Enchanted to Meet You by Megan Cabot got a 4.1/5 stars rating. Written in two points of view of Jessica & Derrick, but it kept throwing me off when Derrick’s PoV changes to 3rd person. It’s a sweet, clean romance of two witches who need to work...
The Accidental Dating Experiment
Review #467 This audio is a 4.3/5 stars. It might be considered a novella based off the length. There are other standalones with their friends as the primary couples. I enjoyed that there were two points of view, the characters had depth and were relatable and...
If Only You
Review #466 If Only You by Chloe Liese got a 4.6/5 star review. This contemporary romance is part of a series (that could be read as standalones) and has two points of view from Ziggy & Sebastian. It’s a sports romance on both sides as MMC & FMC. Ziggy is...
