This was better than the Amazon reviews made it out to be. It was a tad predictable, but overall enjoyable. And the audio narration is fantastic. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Took a break from writing my term paper to relax and finish this one up. I absolutely adored this book. By far, my favorite book by John Green. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I love any good gothic story, but this one takes the cake. I enjoyed this book immensely. It had everything that I look for in a story I wish to immerse myself in. The plot was dark and complex, the characters so real I felt I knew them. The dialogue was so witty it almost hurt, and left me rereading line after line, just to experience it again. CRZ has done it again. I will read anything he writes. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I loved this book- loved it despite having read the rest of the series several years ago (and not having time to go back and reread). There is something to be said for that. This story is epic. And heart wrenching. And infuriating. I enjoyed everything about it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I liked it, but I definitely didn't love it. Everything about this book was mediocre. From the exasperating characters, to the hohum plot. I'm not impressed (and rather disappointed in the ending to this series). ⭐️⭐️

It's not fair. But so what? There was a scholar- more of a dramatist, really- who said, 'Hell is other people.' He was right, and he was a fool. Heaven is other people too.

Hex Hall Book One | Rachel Hawkins

Pickpick

It took me a while to get into this one, but ultimately I liked it. It's like a cross between Mean Girls (gross) and Harry Potter. I think it was the constant Mean Girls banter that put me off, but I was able to get past it about halfway through the book, and really got into the story after that. I'll definitely continue the series. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I thoroughly enjoyed this #Owlcrate book. The plot was intriguing, the main character strong and easy to route for (despite her long winded musings). All fans of the survival/dystopian genre should give this one a go. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I just couldn't get into this one. The writing style wasn't bad, but the plot was slow and put me to sleep every time I tried to pick the book up. I can see how readers more into historical fiction would really dig this one though. #DNF

I got this one from #Owlcrate this month and I have to say, it was pretty good. The sentence structure was very simple, as was the vocabulary- which would make this a perfect read for a struggling reader looking for a Divergent read alike. Over all, I'd give this one ⭐️⭐️⭐️.

My greatest wish for humanity is not for peace or comfort or joy. It is that we all still die a little inside every time we witness the death of another. For only the pain of empathy will keep us human. There‘s no version of God that can help us if we ever lose that.

Just the right amount of scary for my 4th grade class. The characters were dynamic and easy to love, plus the chapters were short, and always ended on a cliffhanger- perfect for a read aloud! All in all, I'd give this one ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This wasn't as good as I hoped it would be, but it did provide me with just the escape from reality I was needing out of my Easter vacation. For that I am grateful. All in all, this was an interesting start to a series I will probably continue if I can get my hands on a free copy of the books.

I hate jazz. I think it sounds like people being completely mad. But my dad plays it a lot, and I recall his sage advice: "whenever you need to win a situation- talk about jazz, Johanna. It confuses people." The boy continues to stare. Ali moves slightly away from me. I wait for a minute, but it seems like this conversation is over. "Well," I say. I can't believe jazz has failed me. I wonder what else my dad is wrong about.

I used to pretend to be dead a lot, when I was younger- ten or eleven. I don't do it so much now. This is because (1) I am becoming more mature. And (2), fewer people were believing I was dead anymore. @hermyknee @Rayleemcv #justcheckingthatyoulovedme
