Reviews of my Reading List
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...
Fourth Wing
Review #409 Lots of spoilers: 4.7/5 stars. Great story, great relationships and sexual tension. I liked the first half better because of the challenges involved in the college. When she earned her dragon, things got more complicated and webbed, but the pace...
DNF- Ninth House
I think Hell Bent is the next one. I didn’t read either because they’re in third person narrative and I prefer first person. But I’ve only heard good things about these & this author. Galaxy “Alex” Stern is the most unlikely member of Yale’s freshman class. Raised...
DNF- The Last Daughter
The Silent Son is the sequel I believe The only reason why I didn’t finish this is because it’s in third person narrative and I’m only in the mood for first person recently. By the way the cover made me think YA, but it’s adult. Check out the blurb: She's cursed with...
October wrap up
I had my highest amounts of DNF books in October. Some of them are shown on my blog for why since you may love them. I’ve also been busy for the release of The Wicked Blue so only 6 books are listed below. They’re all great and listed from lowest rating to highest...
The Witch Hunter
Review #408 So I went back and forth between a 4.4 and and 4.8 rating because it really was awesome but had a few missed opportunities. I definitely wanted to learn more about John. So I’m settling on an average of 4.6/5 star rating. Here’s my live thoughts while...
DNF- Kingdom of Souls
This has a great premise and reminded me of Children of Blood and Bone. The only reason why I didn’t continue was it felt a bit tooooo much like a coming of age story. I’m too old for that vibe. It’ll be a great series to co-read with my daughter in 2-3 years. I like...
The Shadow Queen
Review #407 Warning, there are spoilers. I believe this is a standalone within a series of other retellings featuring different couples. by CJ Redwine. I had a hard time rating this one (see why below) but will settle on 4.2/5 stars for this YA fast paced fantasy with...
DNF – Georgie, All Along
If I wanted to read a story about someone with financial stress and is having career confusion and complications I wouldn’t need to write a word but just look in the mirror. Furthermore, Georgie’s personality is a complete giver. My best and worst trait. So honestly I...
DNF- Stain
The cover is stunning!!! My only reason for not reading this is that it’s in third person. But a princess who is unable to speak is right up my alley because I’m a speech therapist. After Lyra—a princess incapable of speech or sound—is cast out of her kingdom of...
DNF- Bewitched
I stopped at page 116ish or chapter 14. The cover confuses me a little. I’m unsure what I’m looking at? Selene Bowers loses parts of her memory when she cats spells and has been for the last 3 years. But she’s still determined to join Henbane Coven which feels like a...
