I so wanted to like this book because of is interesting concepts and plot structure. However, I had so much trouble with aspects of the writing, the ironically one dimensional characters, and the pacing of this book, that I had to force myself to finish it if only to move on to something else.
Such an amazing book. Libba Bray is a master of writing. I would recommend this book (well, series) to anyone and everyone.
It‘s been a while since I read the first book in the series, but finally getting myself to read The Copper Gauntlet reminded me just how good it is. It also reminded me how much I love Cassandra Clare‘s writing, Holly Black‘s writing, and how amazing the pair are when they work together.
I was skeptical of this book at first, as it appeared be nothing more than to novelization of one of the most popular movies of the year. My interest was piqued when I Saw that the book was written by Leigh Bardugo. This book is not a retelling of the Wonder Woman movie, but in fact it‘s own story and take on the Wonder Woman mythology. It is a fantastic book that I would recommend to anyone in love with strong female characters and good writing.
A fun book of short stories about the loves of geek women who are the writers, artists, and content creators of everything that geeks love. It was a fun collection of stories, that helped to get me out of the reading slump I've been stuck in.
I have loved everyone of Marissa Meyer's book so far, and this is no exception. Her ability to transform stories that we know so well into something new and wonderful is extraordinary. I loved her story of how the The queen of hearts became so. Though I doubt this book will become a series, I will hold out some hope that Marissa Meyer will add more to her Wonderland collection.
Funny, inspiring, and emotional. I've been waiting a while to read this book, and I needed it now. Amy Poehler is a genius, not just in comedy, but in real life as well.
Wasn't sure I was going to like this one, but ended up enjoying it immensely. Can't wait to read the rest of the series.
Absolutely fantastic. Smart and funny. I'm really loving Riordan's multicultural representation and LGBTQ+ representation in his books. This book is another@part of an awesome collection.
It took me a while to get into this book, especially for it being the last of a series, but once I got into it I couldn't put it down. So happy to be finished with The Hungry City Chronicles.
Couldn't get into it, and I had too any other books due back at the library that needed to get read.
A quick and fun romp through Florence, Italy. Sweet story filled with sweets.🍦
A fun look at spin on the "teens in rehab" books that I've been seeing lately. Honestly, this one seemed like a place I wouldn't mind spending a few weeks, despite having little to no interest in video games.
Absolutely fantastic. Donnelly is a matter of historical fiction and creates gripping stories.
A decent middle to this very interesting series. Can't wait to read the last one.
An interesting story set in post-apocalyptic pre-Revolutionary France. A fascinating idea with vibrant characters and intriguing concepts. A great idea, but laid out in a rather improper way.
A fantastic sequel in The Hungry City Chronicles. Can't wait for the next book.
A fun vampire story with a different take on the mythos. It had an it of a wandering plot line, but it was still funny and enjoyable.
Enjoyed the first book in the series very much. Had been recommended to me by a friend years ago, and I've just finally got around to reading it. Can't wait to read the rest of the series.
With Robin McKinley, sometimes I love her books, sometimes I don't. The world and relationship she created are phenomenal, but the sudden cliffhanger ending was a little upsetting worth no sequel in sight.
A good, but very emotions read, dealing with some very difficult topics.
A sweet read. The author's descriptions fuel my wanderlust.
A fun, steampunk romp, filled with all sorts of fun and fascinating creatures.
This was a fun and entertaining read full of advice that was sometimes good and sometimes downright silly. Very good book for middle/high school girls.
Read this in one sitting. I wish that if had a book like this back in high school when I began to struggle with my weight.
Once i remembered where the previous book left off, I got really into this. Couldn't put it down and ended up staying up late to finish it. Can't wait to read the last one.
Strange and beautiful, true to everything that Night Vale is.
Living as close to King City as I do, and driving through it as many times as I have, made this book got weird faster than I expected.
I adore Rick Riordan and I am so excited about this new series! The world of Percy Jackson can now be seen through the eyes of Apollo, and it is FABULOUS!!!
I've been reading Cassandra Clare from the very beginning and am totally addicted to her books. Lady Midnight is the beginning of what is sure to be another fantastic series.
Started reading this morning, and didn't stop until I finished. I loved everything about The Lunar Chronicles, and this little collection of short stories was the perfect way to finish it off.
A sweet, modern take on Pride and Prejudice that also talks a lot about the meaning of family. A great read. I couldn't put it down for the last 100 pages.
A big fan of Emma Mills, and "How to Adult." I was really excited to start this book, and I'm having trouble putting it down!
I picked up this book because I wanted to read something different, and boy did I get it. With 1157 pages, this book was quite a presence in my life for the last month and a half. A bit of romance, a bit of fantasy, a bit of dystopia, and a whole lot of inspiring quotes.
Read over 300 pages today and still nowhere near the end. Still enjoying it immensely.
