3.5 stars — As is becoming a trend in my reviews lately, I honestly can’t figure out if I’m being nitpicky about the books I’m reading because there are actual things to nitpick, or if my mood/health has affected my reading enjoyment. I listened to this one, and the narrator was okay. Not like blow […]
4 stars — Tam and Josh were just quirky and funny and nerdy and dorky and cute. It took me a bit to settle into this one. Maybe because I was just getting over a cold so my brain was a bit foggy? Not sure. Maybe because some of the situations felt a bit cliche? […]
4 stars — This one was a hard read for me. Part of me is waffling over 3.5 stars rounded up, but I honestly can’t decide. It doesn’t help that I read it while sick, which I honestly think just taints a read just a bit, you know? You’re foggier and all that. So why […]
4.5 stars — This was a seriously solid series ender! While there are a few things that I ponder over, in general it wrapped things up really well, answering questions and setting everything into a good position where I can imagine this world continuing on. Saira really felt like she came into her own throughout […]
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 — So, this one was hard for me. And mostly just from a personality perspective, which hopefully will make sense. Here’s the thing: I am more like Emily in the Nerd Herd. I have always bucked *against* popularity, and just wanted to find people who like me for me. So Lily was always […]
3.5 stars — It was definitely cute, but it felt like what it was: a bonus novella to top off a series. I wasn’t expecting the prologue and epilogues, but I thought they worked okay as a way to finally introduce Aubrey and Landon’s story. Aubrey was pretty awesome. I appreciated how smart she was […]
3.5 stars — I definitely enjoyed this one and the world and the background plot with the vampires and stuff…but I was up and down on my feelings about Ruben and Jules. I will admit that I probably was in the minority of not being overly excited for their story. I know there was definite […]
4 stars — This book could have been a rounded up to 4.5 or even full 5 stars if it was trimmed by at least 25%. Honestly, I just got frustrated. Miscommunication is one of my least favourite tropes, but for a time I actually got it with Jacob and Briana — it made sense […]
4 stars — The realities of WWII as presented through Saira’s eyes was just…HARD. Like so many people, I’m morbidly fascinated by that war, but I purposely avoid it because it’s just really hard to take. And it was hard here. We got to see amazing people, and horrific monsters, and also all the in between […]
