The Worst Guy
Review #577 I’ll give this a 4.5/5 stars. This book taught me that I don’t think I like fast burns as much as slow. My favorite part was I loved all the unique team building ideas and his unique and funny nicknames for her. As doctors, it had a Grey’s Anatomy vibe....
The Off-Limits Rule
Review- #576 I gave this easy audio a 4.3/5 stars. I wasn’t a huge fan of the male narrators voice which impacts my enjoyment slightly. Also, Lucy was quite annoying with having zero self confidence and constantly comparing herself to others. We’re all self conscious,...
DNF- Sun Damage
This was a bookclub pick. It may have worked better for audio but there were three main reasons why it didn’t work for me - it switched back and forth between second person and first person narrative -it has hints that the male main character had abused the main...
The Love of My Afterlife
Review #575 First of all I don’t know if it’s spelled- The Love of My After Life or The Love of my Afterlife since it’s shown both ways on the cover. This romcom by Kirsty Greenwood was a library book I borrowed and it got a 4.0/5 stars. It felt a bit cheesy,...
Under Loch and Key
Review #574 This was a bookclub choice and I listened on audio. I’m soooo glad that not only were there 2 narrators but the female did all female dialogue within the male’s point of view and vice versa. I gave this fun romcom with a magical twist a strong 4.8/5 stars....
Nocticadia
Review #573 3.5/5 stars Not my favorite book but it kept me engaged. I’m glad there was dual narration in the audiobook. It was borderline too-gross. Bugs infesting their organs as the premise? No thanks. Plus, I don’t need info about body entrails...
March wrap up
My most favorite this month was Heartless Hunter, AKA Crimson Moth, but the sequel wasn’t as good. My least favorite was Nocticadia because it had attempted rape on page. A Song to Drown Rivers was my most unexpected this month. Bonus tidbit- Somewhere Beyond the Sea...
DNF- Rhapsodic
I’m still personally struggling about whether I like dark romance or not, what types I’m okay with and what pushes my boundaries too far. Part of me wants to like it more than I do, I think. But I don’t want to force myself to be into it. Maybe it’s because I have a...
DNF- Priest
Didn’t get far. Too “churchy” for me. Lol. Go figure. There are many rules a priest can't break. A priest cannot marry. A priest cannot abandon his flock. A priest cannot forsake his God. I've always been good at following rules. Until she came. Then I learned new...
DNF- Darkly
It was too Young Adult for me. Arcadia “Dia” Gannon has been obsessed with Louisiana Veda, the game designer whose obsessive creations and company, Darkly, have gained a cultlike following. Dia is shocked when she’s chosen for a highly-coveted internship, along with...
Somewhere Beyond the Sea
Review #572 “I am color. I am fire. I am the sun, and I will burn away the shadows until only light remains. And then you will have no choice but to see me.” Somewhere Beyond the Sea is truly witty. I absolutely loved the humor & am so glad I found an...
You, With a View
Review #571 You, With a View is 4.5/5 stars on audio. (One narrator). There was a bunch of telling instead of showing so in the beginning I had a harder time staying engaged and focused on the story but after I got invested it wasn’t a problem anymore. They...
Rebel Witch
Review #570 I’m not a huge fan of the name of the title, but whatever. There’s multiple covers, this being the other option: “I pity the man who clips her wings.” “If this was weakness, he wanted to be weak. If this was sin, let him be damned to hell. Kissing her was...
What Kind of Mother
Review #569 What Kind of Mother on audio was 4.25/5 stars. What stood out was the authors use of high emotions well … and my biggest critique is sometimes the characters just acted “stupid” and unable to put 2+2 together. Trigger warnings of sexual abuse and...
Heartless Hunter
Review #568 “Sparing the life of someone you hate doesn’t make you weak. It makes you better than the rest of us.” Definitely a 5/5 star rating! I waited to read this highly recommended book until the sequel came out (recently). Now I’ll be able to start the second in...
