3.5 stars — Is it the cold? Is it me? A bit of both? Basically this review was written while sick, and I’m still too tired to clean it up and do this book justice. But the rating speaks more than my words, I still rounded up. This was a solid romance, but I wasn’t […]
3.5 stars — I had a hard time choosing whether to round up or down. So basically this was a solid 3.5 stars whichever way I land. *snort* The thing is I haven’t been reading many YA books lately, and I think I forgot about the drama that comes with, you know, young adults. I […]
4.5 stars — This was exactly what I was looking for and needing with the mood I was in. I know the author said the book turned out longer than she expected, but I honestly didn’t notice at all…and if you’ve been reading my reviews lately, you know that’s something that doesn’t work for me, […]
3.5 stars — I loved that this book opened me up to different parts of history that I totally forgot about (or was never taught). I ended up looking up all sorts of things because of this book. But I think in the end while I appreciated the novelty of who our characters were and […]
3.5 stars — This was definitely a cute romance, but in the end I was bummed with the hero’s refusal to look at his own issues until he really had no choice. Luis has the nickname of “Saint Navarro”, and he’s definitely the kind of guy always trying to help others, which is admirable. I […]
4 stars — This was a solid YA contemporary, dealing with grief, body image issues, new relationships, and just the basics of being a teenager and all the normal angst that inspires. I really enjoyed Maddie, and she felt very real in so many ways. It was so hard to read about the way she […]
4.5 stars — This one hit me right where I wanted it to, it had just the right amount of heart, humour, chemistry and depth. I really enjoyed both narrators, though I will admit that I had a harder time in this one distinguishing different voices and between thoughts and dialogue…but again, that could have […]
4 stars — I was a little worried about the woo woo aspect of the story, but for me it was just a plot device, and remained a solid contemporary romance. And while this story was light in some aspects, I really appreciated how it brought about these conversations about what makes a relationship long […]
4 stars — This book was filled with lots of misunderstandings from not communicating, but for once I felt like that all came from a reasonable place on both ends. It had all built up from the experiences of EVERYONE (human and fey alike) since the earthquakes. Fey had been given so many different pieces […]
4 stars — I really love this quirky little town and it’s lovable crazy characters. I will admit that I had an entirely different expectation of who Jayna was going to be, and I think it took me a little bit to warm up to her. She’s very forthright and ambitious and I was expecting […]
