I didn’t finish this witchy suspense but have a few comments below if you’re interested in why. Well in the first few sentences such difficult vocabulary words are used that I’m taken out of the story. Never have I seen so many large words in such close proximity: tessellations, disconsolate, and decrepitude. It makes itContinue reading “Review #304”

Review #303
I didn’t finish this coming of age story, where family and magic is everything, but highly recommend it for teens instead of middle aged women who like reading young adult (like myself). Some YA crosses over for generations but this one didn’t do that for me. In “Blood like Magic,” sixteen year old witch, Voya,Continue reading “Review #303”
Ten Books I “Did Not Finish”
Do you feel guilty not finishing a book? I do. Every. Single. Time. But I’m trying to convince myself recently that it’s okay and some books that aren’t for me could be someone else’s absolute favorite! Book Of Night by Holly Black I’ve read four of her other books but this one didn’t work forContinue reading “Ten Books I “Did Not Finish””
Review #274
I did not finish Kiersten White’s novel. I made it to page 50 but not much had happened and there was too much head hopping. I bet once the “instigating event” takes place the ball will start rolling but it was only setting up the stage for the story instead of actually being the story.Continue reading “Review #274”
Renegades
I loved Marissa Meyer’s: The Lunar Chronicles series. The last one I remember was a beast, over 800 pages and this one here is 556 pages but feels massive. I’m a bit worried since I don’t like reading books much over 400 pages. I genuinely believe that if an author can’t get the job doneContinue reading “Renegades”
The Secrets in Shadow and Blood
So The Secrets in Shadow and Blood is the NEXT installment in the Fae Guardians book. So I guess it wasn’t the best place to start. Each book features a separate couple so apparently I should’ve started with Season of The Wolf. Because of this I already have a feeling it’ll be a DNF forContinue reading “The Secrets in Shadow and Blood”
Review #259
Unfortunately, this was a DNF at page 63/300 so I can’t give it a real star rating. I usually don’t write separate blogs for the books I don’t finish but I had enough notes on “Dark and Deepest Red” to make one work. Here’s my thoughts live while reading: Rosella starts out the book forContinue reading “Review #259”
DNF List #8
Down Comes the Night by Allison Saft Chapter one was a 50/50 mix of current moment events and backstory. We learn of Wren’s feelings/relationship towards Una, her superior officer and how she broke orders by healing a spy. And we also get snippets of the kingdom, the queen, part of the problem and her missingContinue reading “DNF List #8”
DNF List #7
The Simple Wild by K.A. Tucker I think it’s a compliment that I didn’t finish and here’s why… the author did TOO good of a job messing with my emotions so early on. The reality of anxiety and depression in the mom and the reality of the daughter not being thrilled with her job andContinue reading “DNF List #7”
DNF List #6
The Witch’s Heart by Genevieve Gornichec Here is the blurb: Angrboda’s story begins where most witches’ tales end: with a burning. A punishment from Odin for refusing to provide him with knowledge of the future, the fire leaves Angrboda injured and powerless, and she flees into the farthest reaches of a remote forest. There sheContinue reading “DNF List #6”
