It‘s been an exhausting couple of weeks, but I‘m moved, unpacked, & mostly set up! I still need to get a few boxes of books out of storage, but happy to have my reading corner ready. 🥰
I‘ve been unable to read much, but have these 5 books pending! Christmas Pig, I‘m slowly but surely reading with bugga, I Killed the King is NetGalley (I know, I was supposed to stay away, but that cover!), Long Island is audio, & tagged is #RealLifeBookGroup… 😅
#CharacterCharm Day 24: Not exactly a sanctuary for #Voyager(s). Looking forward to reading this one soon.
panAfter reading the other books in the series, I should have known exactly how this was going to go. All the characters were shallow. Tally again was stuck up and full of herself, can't even stop for a second for anyone but herself. At least this one had a mystery going on to keep my interest a little. 2.5/5
panThis book has to be the worst in the series. I couldn't stand Tally. I understand the book was supposed to be about what they made her, but she was so annoying. Just me me me all the time while making the stupidest decisions even tho she was "better" than everyone else. She was also supposed to have a redemption arc, but she really didn't? The romance also went nowhere and just seemed dumb to add in at all. 1/5
so-soIf I hear the word bubbly or bogus ever again, it will be too soon. Holy cow, I swear both of those words appeared at least once every page, sometimes more than that. I enjoyed this book a little less than the first. I think it is following the same mold for every distopian. The same thing keeps happening to make her into the next thing as well, which is getting old. The writing is still not great. 3/5
pickI think this book conveys a good message about beauty standards. The characters were shallow, everything happened super fast, very insta-love. I do like the futuristic atmosphere, but the writing is obviously for YA. The ending did have me reaching for the second book, though. 3.75/5
pickThis was excellent though it definitely reminded me of The School for Good Mothers. The author gets into a lot of random topics without disrupting the flow of the story.

pickThat was intense!
I expected a certain level of teen drama, but didn't realize there were lethal stakes and existential crises looming, which, don't get me wrong, just meant I ended up reading it faster because I had to know how things would end. 😅 1/?
