2.5 Stars (out of 5)

I should’ve thought about reviewing this book when it was fresh in my mind, but I didn’t. While I enjoyed it, I’m not certain I liked it enough to read it again, so I’m just going to have to make due.

It was certainly an enjoyable story. I enjoyed it and went through it very, very quickly. I do have to say I was disappointed in ( Read more... )

Told from the alternating perspectives of June and Day, Legend is another addition to the growing list of dystopian young adult reads. Each of our characters has gained a lot of attention from the Republic’s government, but for two very different reasons. June is their Star, Day is their Most Wanted, and the two of them couldn’t ( Read more... )

Kiss or Kill (Vol 2 in Black Widow: The Name of the Rose)

Comic books and graphic novels are relatively new to me and I’m still learning how to understand and appreciate illustrated storytelling. I love picture books, but picture books have pictures with the story or complimenting the story; the pictures rarely tell the story ( ( Read more... )

I love the premise and the narrator, Katherine Kellgren, is one of my favorites so I hoped I would really love this. I didn’t really love this. I did like it, don’t get me wrong. It’s got some witty humor, a few good twists, and a main character you want to root for on principle (Jane Austen people, you always root for Jane Austen ( Read more... )

There’s a large part of me that wants to give this book two different ratings - 4 for the first part and 2 for the second part. If I could give the first half one rating and the second half another, I would seriously consider it.

This book started off hilarious with satirical, romantic, adventurous, and paranormal elements ( Read more... )

I’m a sucker for fictional romance, perhaps even more so for a romance novel and I am not ashamed to admit it. I like Julia Quinn in general is one of my favorite romance novelist because while many people can write romances, so few do it with such humor and wit as Quinn. This is one of her earlier novels and while it does ( Read more... )

I’m pretty excited to say that I have completed my goal. I have read a title for every letter of the alphabet. Reviews are coming along as well and it won’t be long until there are reviews for all the books on my list. It’s such a relief to have finished this challenge after completely forgetting I’d set the goal last year. So here is the final ( Read more... )

Graffiti Moon by Cath Crowley

Graffiti Moon pulled me in immediately and simply didn’t let go. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but Cath Crowley’s words painted a thousand pictures. And then some.

3.5 (out of 5)

I took a chance on this audiobook. I’m not even sure I read the description before I decided to buy. I wanted an “F”, it had high reviews, and it seemed like a fantasy adventure type of book. I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it at first and it took me some time to get into it. This book is different from many of the other books ( Read more... )
