I forgot how amazing and wonderful and awesome this book is. Totally holds up on the re-read. And have you seen Love, Simon yet? If not, go do it immediately!!! Changes were necessary from the book, but the tone is there, and it is heart-wrenchingly, fist-pumpingly awesome! Take tissues. For real.

Utterly beautiful and it made me feel all the things. I impulse chose this from the library while I was waiting for a fax to go through, and I‘m so, so glad I did. Highly recommend.

All the Crooked Saints | Maggie Stiefvater
Pickpick

I really enjoyed this book. It was...quieter, somehow, than the Raven Cycle. I thought that it wasn‘t grabbing my attention in the same way as her books have in the past, until I‘d find myself pondering miracles and darkness and what I might find in myself while I was doing other tasks. Fantastic, thoughtful read.

Loved it. As always, John Green did a phenomenal job really getting into the head of his characters. I particularly liked the dynamic of the relationship between Aza and Daisy also, with all of their ups and downs. Fantastic read.

TheBookstorePodcast I think Daisy might be my favorite John Green character ever. 7y

Long and dense, but so, so worth it! I‘m not usually a fan of historical fiction, but the way these characters were written was so engaging! Highly recommend!!!

Essentially a grown up version of a Choose Your Own Adventure book. Intriguing, but slightly annoying in that now I want to know how all of the stories end up!

Just...beautiful. Joyous. Uplifting. And so, so sad. Seriously, don't read the last third of this book in public.

I'll admit, i was curious for the same reason everyone else was curious about this book - to see if the actress can actually write. Turns out, she can - and what's more, she can write WELL. Bonfire gripped me from page one and kept me interested right til the end. Similar to me like reading Erin Brockovich, but with a few more twists and turns along the way. If you like intelligent suspense novels, this one is for you!

Loved loved loved. Leigh Bardugo is rapidly becoming one of my favorite authors. This makes me want to reread Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom again.

Absolutely beautiful - heartbreaking and uplifting and joyful and depressing and sad and happy all at once. Absolutely loved it.

Nevernight | Jay Kristoff

Okay, this was a hard one to get into. The first third of the book was legitimately painful to read. After that, the story and the action really kick in, and it's much smoother, but it was so difficult to not give up at the beginning. That said, I want more, and I'll be looking forward to the next in the series. Hopefully the first third of that book will be easier to get through.

Labyrinth Lost | Zoraida Cordova

Absolutely adored this story. I wish it had been longer, and I do wish there was a bit more detail, a bit more fleshing out of certain parts, but overall super entertaining. Every time I put it down I couldn't wait to come back for more!

Wild Swans | Jessica Spotswood

I enjoyed this book, but it left me wanting...more. I don't know what, maybe more about the family? More about the curse/gift? More about where the main character is going to go? Because without that 'more', I'm left with a spoiled teenager who hates her delinquent mother. Which is not to say it wasn't entertaining...I just wished there was MORE.

My Not So Perfect Life | Sophie Kinsella

I love Sophie Kinsella! I absolutely fell in love with the Shopaholic series back in the day, and she became one of those authors that if her name was on it, I'd read it. A couple of her books fell flat for me, but not this one - it completely reminded me of why I fell in love with Sophie's books in the first place! Funny, quirky, and utterly relatable - what a great, light, fun read!

Gena/Finn | Hannah Moskowitz, Kat Helgeson

I enjoyed this, but it seemed to have a non-ending, and the plot didn't really go anywhere. Was it enjoyable? Yes. Was it a good story? Yes. Did I feel satisfied or completed at the end? No. So good story, meh ending.

I really liked this book. It seemed extremely real to me, in that everyone makes mistakes time and time again before learning hard lessons. And it was a shockingly honest view of teenagers drinking and partying to excess, and just how easy it is to do. Highly recommend.

Exit, Pursued by a Bear | Emily Kate Johnston

I really enjoyed this book and I loved seeing Hermione's coping mechanisms. I have to say I'm also jealous of her high school - I definitely went to Amy's high school, not Hermione's! I wish I'd had the amazing bonds that Hermione was able to find.

This entire series was great, but I think this last book was my favorite. So packed with action and intrigue,it kept me guessing as to what was coming next and I literally couldn't put it down for the last 200 pages. Highly recommend the entire series.

Great read - interesting to read of an Oracle suppressing their visions and why, instead of embracing their gift. Great suspense.

Great read, already looking forward to the next one and continuing on Celestine's journey. As if the whole book wasn't good enough already, this very last paragraph of the author acknowledgements would have made the whole thing worth it.

If no other reason, read this to see the masterful way the author used all points of view for narration - first, second, and third person. Loved the story. Wasn't completely sold on the ending, but the story was great.

This is a hard one to review. I wanted to like Reshma but I mostly found her to be an asshole, but at the same time I couldn't wait to find out what happened. Good in the fact that it kept me interested, bad in that I didn't really believe her growth.
