4 stars — *snort* I don’t think I realized this was a children’s graphic novel, and then I’m thinking “wow, this is reading really fast.” Not that it matters, I can read children’s books if I want to…it just amused me. I really enjoyed that it told a story that was fraught with a lot […]
OVERALL: 4 stars — Huh, this was actually a really solid anthology. Pretty great Christmas vibes (some more than others), solid romances, lots of variety. Obviously I enjoyed some more than others, but there wasn’t one I didn’t connect with at least a little, which is kind of rare for anthologies! JUST THE TIP by […]
4 stars — Devi was a fantastic change from the everyday. I loved her nerdy science loving self, and how passionate she was about learning. I both got her reticence with N’dek and didn’t…like, I got that she wanted to protect herself from hurt, but why she held on to the bizarre belief that Bridget was […]
4 stars — Well, that was me stepping WAYYYYYY outside my comfort zone. In multiple ways. First, I am wholeheartedly NOT a non-fiction reader. Like, I don’t gravitate towards it at all, and this might be the first voluntary non-fiction read of mine. It helped that it was also full of humour and satire, so […]
4 stars — This was just the kind of light, fun, sexy romp I was looking for. Which is not to say that it was without depth, just that there was enough other fun stuff to keep me hooked and entertained. Our characters were hella complicated. They were both fucked up by stressful childhoods, and […]
4 stars — Interesting look at the Amish. No idea how accurate it is, especially considering that is has been altered at least a bit to accommodate the horror aspects of the story. But it still wasn’t a bad look at the religion necessarily. You got to see the good bits, the community, the simplicity. And […]
4 stars — This one surprised me a bit with the way things played out, and in particular Charlie’s character. She could be a bit hard to love and understand sometimes, but all the same I mostly did get what made her up. She was damaged in a different way than I was anticipating, and […]
4 stars — I LOVED Jack and Skip. They were both flawed and frustrating at times, but with good hearts that deserved the love of the other. It was interesting that they both had some similarities in their upbringing, but because of other circumstances they cope in slightly different ways. But it helped them understand each […]
4 stars — Brooke was super thirsty!! I mean, it’s good that she’s not afraid of her own desires, but holy wow. There were plenty of moments where I was hesitant about Brooke’s actions, especially given Solin’s cryptic responses, and the appearance of the situation with Sophia. But then Brooke would get a conscience, and back […]
4 stars — This one was hard to read. It felt realistic though. It’s just that Hannah was *really* hard to like in this one. But it really showed how alcoholism can alter who a person is, so much so that even they don’t recognize themselves. I really appreciated that Hannah didn’t just turn around […]
