November wrapup
These are the 6 books I finished in November 2023. One is quite long as most of y’all know, so I want to count it as 2 books lol. Did you read any of these? Do you agree with my ratings? Each one has its own blog review on my site. And as always, my favorite is down...
Hooked
Review #414 James helps run a nightclub and he has a deadly reputation and past. I’m unsure why she wants to meet (and kill) Peter but apparently there’s history there. When he sees Wendy, an underage girl who doesn’t belong at this bar try to get in with a fake ID,...
DNF- The Book of Living Secrets
I loved the cover, LGBTQ+ representation, and the overall premise. Maybe if I had skipped the intro and dove straight into the part when they’re living within a fictional book it may have worked out better. But it felt too YA for me. I have also been having a hard...
Winterwood
Review #413 “The girl with moonlight in her veins.” There are sooo many quote worthy phrases in this book. The prose and descriptions are flawless & beautiful. I was immediately addicted right from the start. Chapter 1 is from Nora’s point of view. She’s a...
DNF- Rogue Princess
The only reason why I didn’t finish is because the narrative is in third person. Recently I’ve only been in the mood for first person. Also, just a stupid pet peeve. But it bothers me when the first sentence of a novel stars with “It was…” But beautiful cover by the...
DNF- Straight On Till Morning
I DNF right before the halfway mark which is a whole 220 pages in. This isn’t usual for me since it’s often by 50 pages that leads me to my decision. The prologue of “Straight On Till Morning” paints a vivid picture, which I love. Chapter called “London” - so has...
Pumpkin Spice and not so Nice
Review #412 I gave this clean, quick romance a 3.8/5 stars. Here’s my live thoughts and comments while reading: Chapter one has a lot of voice, which I like. I feel like I already understand Jenna. It’d be nice to have some contemporary romances that don’t have...
Talk Bookish to Me
Review #411 3.9/5 for Talk Bookish to Me, a second chance romance by Kate Bromley Many spoilers to follow. These are my random comments while reading: The first chapter is great. Kara and Ryan dated in college 10 years ago and run into each other at their friends’...
DNF – Funny Feelings
I’ve been busy reading other books and this one is actually past due at the library so I tried to sneak it into my week. Unfortunately I didn’t finish this one. It felt a bit too much “on the nose” and the main heroine kinda rubbed me the wrong way a little, unsure...
Iron Flame
Review #410 LOTS OF SPOILERS “He’s the horizon, and nothing exists beyond for me.” I give this sequel a 4.5/5 stars. The scenes where Vi & Xaden are together are my favorite chapters by far. The story was unnecessarily long but the ending was brilliant. I...
DNF- Tink and Wendy
So, you may hate me but I have an unpopular opinion upcoming. I love that LGTBQ+ are having more representation and I want to support them. But I honestly have a hard time connecting because I can’t relate. Like I know love is love so I should be fine with reading the...
