pickI enjoyed this book a lot. I'd say it's in the top 3 Stephen King books I've read so far. The characters were all interesting and the story had a plot that kept you invested the whole time. The ending didn't end the way I was expecting, but to be honest I'm not sure what I wanted it to be either 😅
pickThis book started off a little slow but after the first five or so chapters I was completely invested in the story of Leon and Tiffy. Tiffy's toxic relationship with Justin didn't seem so bad in the beginning, as it was being perceived by Tiffy. But after a while as she starts to realize how abusive he was towards her, it starts to become very apparent in the story. I even teared up a little at the end..
pickThis audiobook was one of the best I've listened to. The story was intriguing and the characters actually all had individual tendencies that made them unique. Even if there were so many near the end that I kept having to remember who's who.. There were portions of this story that were pretty gory as well, descriptions of battle scenes near the end had me cringing a bit.
The ending did feel a little lacking. But I think it was necessary.
pickFantastic read. I laughed, I cringed, I cried, it was a wonderful whirlwind of amusement. Loved it.
"Well, I hope what I hear is true. You know, I look upon myself as a great judge of character. And you're not only beautiful, you're good and sweet and natural; I should like you to be very happy."
pickThis book was very well written. I love the story telling from Chani's perspective. I do think that there was a little too much alcohol abuse and 'then' didn't feel as genuine because Chani and Gabe were drunk during most of their interactions. But I do understand the message The author wanted to portray. Especially with Gabe's recovery. The ending was a whirlwind of excitement and overall, I enjoyed this read.
I don't normally read regular fiction but I've got an itch for something new!
so-soThis book felt like two different stories. One story about Charlie and Mr.Boditch, and the other about Charlie and Empis. I liked both parts of the story. I did listen to most of it on audiobook, which was wonderfully narrated. The story did feel lacking however, I can't quite put my finger on it.
pickThis book was very easy to read. Every chapter added a new piece of evidence to the story, letting you try and put those pieces together, before tying them all to each other in the end. Tony Hillerman was a talented author, and I will keep thrifting these books for a good quick read.
pickSo many unexpected twists and turns! The last few chapters had me glued to the pages. I do wish this series was less romance/one true love/gushy mushy and more fantasy. Because when there is a plot it is really good.
I need recommendations!

so-soI wish there was more plot per chapter, I felt there were a lot of repetitive conversations and inner thoughts. The ending had me needing more immediately though. So with that I must read the next.
pickThis book was thrilling. Jack and Alison are great characters with badass personalities. I'm extremely satisfied with how the book ends. The flow of backstory mixed with character dialogue and plot was done seamlessly.
I'll definitely be checking out more of this author's work!
4.5/5
so-soNot as exciting as I originally thought it would be. I understand some of the reviews saying it felt as though Agatha Christie didn't choose the murderer until after she had finished writing. I enjoy being able to pick up on clues along the way and solve the mystery too. In some parts it was difficult to remember all of the characters, their personalities were meshed together. Especially the men. Overall I give this book 2.5 stars.
pickI enjoyed this Lucy Foley novel. The main character was pretty reckless, which, at moments, got a little annoying. But overall it was a great mystery to read. The plot twist was totally unexpected as well! There were some things that I ended up predicting happening but that's part of why I enjoy reading mysteries!
pickI really enjoyed this read. The writing was very descriptive. I could easily visualize all of the territory as well as the interactions between characters. It was like I was inside of a Navajo mystery. This book has gotten me back into the mystery genre.
Making progress! Almost done. Enjoying a relaxing bachelorette party on the great lakes with a great book.
Great read so far! Started it off on audio and I absolutely love the narration.
What are the chances that my library has a book that was just officially released yesterday??? Super excited to say the least (-;
pickThis story was a little more slow than the first. It also had a lot of parts in it that made me angry. Just talk to each other! Trust each other! Stop being so stupid! And that ending.. makes me so angry! Now I have to read the last one. 😅 I'd rate this a 3/5 compared to the first. It's not bad- I still enjoy the writing. The story in this one is just.. it made me frustrated!
pickThis book played out like a movie! Absolutely loved it. Onto Blood & Honey!
Totally just read 200 pages in one sitting... This book is fantastic so far!
pickAn interesting twist on how to view humanity. I initially thought I wouldn't like the spiders, because you know.. they are spiders. But... It was extremely interesting reading through their evolution of technology and culture. All the while the humans were essentially evolving in reverse- going back to their war torn ways. The ending was interesting, I'm curious to see where the next book takes these children of time.
Starting a new book today! So excited to get back into science fiction (-:
pickI really liked the writing in this book. The upper and lower cities were easy to visualize and I enjoyed the story of Hades and Persephone falling in love. However- I was not prepared for how kinky this book was! It is in fact unspeakably hot. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
pickAmazing! I absolutely loved the character development. Nesta fights many battles, but the most important one was the battle against herself. Great read- 5/5
Reading a book? You know Luna will hop on that lap!
I'm trying my very best to finish this book today! It's a light read and I've teared up twice already. I'm looking forward to seeing how Maas ends the series (-:
Two new books on my tbr list- has anyone gotten into these ones yet? Did you like them?
so-soOut of the other books in the series this one was the hardest to get through. It was very long, a lot of training, war, more training, war. The ending I enjoyed reading, the way it almost ended would have made me super sad. We love happy endings in this house.
pickWow. This book. It had everything, it left my heart racing and my eyes glued to every page. EVERY page was a thrill. Took me 6 days to finish. I could not put it down. This series competes for first place favorite- time to see where the rest of the series goes. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Chapter 55 had no business being that good. Great way to start my Saturday, hoping to finish the book today! Haven't been able to put it down since Tuesday.
pickWow this book was amazing! I listened to most of it on audio but then bought the series and read the rest from where I left off. At first I really didn't like Feyre as a lead character. But I definitely warmed up to her after awhile. Can't wait to read the rest of the series!
Favorite character so far: Rhysand. I stand my case
pickAbsolutely outstanding. This is a book everyone should read. Being able to look into the life of a young teen with autism as he faces life's challenges was so interesting. The author did a great job of creating a character that you truly care about.
pickA great mystery, everything is connected in the end and I LOVE books that do that. Felt a lot like the movie clue!
Here is my TBR for August! I'm hoping to read at least three of the five. Can you sense the genre I'm into at the moment?
pickHoly moly! I absolutely loved this book. It was full of twists and turns, romance, mystery, and thrills. I loved the slight fantasy element, it had me wondering what was real and imagined. The author did an amazing job keeping my attention the whole time. The ending had me holding my breath. A great read to end July with. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
pickI really enjoyed this short read. It drew me in with a mystery and led me on with a story of a man and his relationship with others, and how those relationships can change their lives.
"Gravity is the anchor that pulls us down into our graves."
"Perhaps in their time if dying, everyone rises."
I give this read ⭐⭐⭐
Library Book haul! I have quite the variety of genres going on here.. great way to end July and start off August!
so-soI enjoyed how every chapter took place from the perspective of a different character. There were some points in the story where I would get the two ghosts confused. I enjoyed the mystery of what happened in the lives of the characters that made them who they are but the whole story I felt was just lacking something. Not really a chilling story, more so just a lackluster haunted house with a very dramatic family that needs to seek therapy.
pickPretty good, a very unique take on storytelling. I liked the small references to Christianity. The ending was kind of confusing. Where did the parents go? I also was a little bit confused in terms of the hurricane and the apocalypse, was the apocalypse also happening or was it just an inflated view of a natural disaster from the perspective of rich youth? Well, interesting and short read none the less! ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Last one in the series, excited to see how this trilogy will end!
Onto the next one! I finally finished the 5th season.. yes it took me 9 months of reading on and off but I finally finished it today. (I had half the book left and read it all in one sitting so that shows how invested I was!) Summer reading here I come!
Excited to start the Broken Earth Trilogy! Happy birthday to me 🥳🎂
