That's Not My Name | Megan Lally
post image
Pickpick

Trying to get back into posting my reads. This is my most recent finish and oh. My. God it was so good! From debut author, Megan Lally this book was intense with its twists and turns. I thought I had the “twist ending” guessed from the synopsis but I was wrong and was gutted by the end. A great YA thriller for those looking for one. #thatsnotmyname #meganlally #thriller #yathriller

Immunity | Erin Bowman
This post contains spoilers

I just finished Immunity by Erin Bowman and thought it was really good. I think the ending was a little rushed but other than that I really liked it. If I could change anything I think I would have ended this book when the contagion broke out and made Amber, Coen, and Thea‘s time on board Paramount, the escape, and the results afterward a third book. That would have given this book middle book syndrome but I wouldn‘t have minded since the (cont.)

Hello and happy new year! I‘m starting the year off by reading The Priory of the Orange Tree. I tabbed every 30 pages to make it seem less daunting. So far I‘ve read 35 pages. #theprioryoftheorangetree #bookstagram #booktok #2023

Maria514626 I love tabbing pages. It keeps me on track. Doesn‘t work well with an ebook though. 🙁😄 2y
TheBookStacker I looooove this book so much! Can‘t wait for the next book! 2y

So I started and finished Sandcastle today. I saw the movie first a few weeks ago and I actually really liked it so I was excited to give the graphic novel a try. I was disappointed with it and I think the movie conveyed the concept a lot better. A 1 star read for me.

DivineDiana That‘s too bad. 🙁 3y
Bookaholicforlife @DivineDiana it is especially because the movie was pretty good i thought the book would be better. Oh well at least I can still enjoy the movie 3y

I read this book for my book club and unfortunately it was a 1.5 star read for me. I thought it was a beautiful story and I loved Vasya but overall I found myself board reading it. I think for me it was just really slow and o didn‘t really care for the writing style.

bnp Interesting. I liked the first one in this series, but couldn't get into the 2nd & 3rd. 3y

Learn My Lesson | Katee Robert

A 2.5 star read for me. I liked the first book better and I couldn‘t get into this one as much as I did the first one. A shame since Hades is one of my favorite villains and Jasmine is one of my least favorite princesses. Rating it so so because the plot wasn‘t horrible and had me mildly interested.

A pretty good book. A solid 3 1/2 stars for me. I can‘t wait to see what happens next, especially because it ended on a cliffhanger. I will say that I wish that there was more backstory to some of the crew members as I felt like I knew nothing about some of them and for me it was hard to get into at first.

Merry December everyone!
I decided to try and read two books for this month. One being exclusively a before bed/morning book. I‘m going to reread the Illuminae files since I last read it when book one first came out and forgot to read books 2 and 3 even though I bought them. I‘m glad I can binge read them though. I‘m also reading along with the audiobook so I can hear the full cast. #nighttimereading #illuminaefiles #booksinbed

Started reading Shadow of the Fox. I‘m about 62 pages in and if I‘m honest I‘m not really enjoying it so far I may wind up DNFing this book though I‘m trying to give it at least 100-150 pages before I make that final decision.

Caffeinated_Reader It‘s so good!!! I loved this one. Maybe try it again in a week or a month? It‘s really great! 6y
Bookaholicforlife @Caffeinated_Reader I‘m going to keep reading for a bit to see if I can get into it. It may just be the beginning I‘m not into. If not, I‘ll take your advice and try picking it up again I. A week or month or so. Thank you. I‘m glad you enjoyed it. 6y
Caffeinated_Reader @Bookaholicforlife no prob! It helps me when I can‘t get into a book, good luck! 6y

Bookaholicforlife @Kshakal you definitely won‘t be disappointed! The book gives more details on the characters that are great to know. The ending is a little different in the book but personally, I like the book ending better. I most definitely recommend reading it. 6y

Hour 20- I just finished my reread of the fault in our stars and it was amazing as always. This book honestly has me in tears every time I read it but I don‘t love it any less.

My current read. I started the first 36 pages last week whilst on a cruise with my family thinking that this was the perfect book to read on a cruise ship. Unfortunately I wasn‘t able to get that far in it. This is also the first adult book I‘m reading instead of a YA or middle grade novel. I‘m sick in bed today so a perfect time for hot tea and a book.

And now a tumblr post that had me dying of laughter. Honestly, this is just one of the truest things I‘ve ever read. Other than the singing they are incredibly similar to the point that in my minds eye Thorne looked like Flynn and Cress looked like Rapunzel. In fact after Thorne cut her hair I kept forgetting that Cress‘ hair was still blonde and not brown. Who else agrees? #thelunarchronicles #flynnrider #carswellthorne #tangled #disney

I just finished Stars above and overall I give the book a 3.5/ 5 stars. Not counting the last story in the book because that one alone is a 5/5 stars and worth its own rating. The other stories were cute and entertaining but I didn‘t fall as hard for them as I did the last story or the Lunar Chronicles.
