3.5 stars — Still a total guilty pleasure listen, but I did have a harder time connecting with the MCs in this one…but that’s just personal taste I think. It took me most of this book to warm up to Liz…and she’s still probably never going to be a favourite of mine. She’s abrasive, rude, […]
4 stars — Well that was EXACTLY what I was looking for. I will admit that the majority of books I read are contemporary romance…and I love them. But I was sort of in a funk, couldn’t get into any books, couldn’t decide what to read, so after reading my dear co-blogger’s review (and seeing […]
3.5 stars — Well hmmm… The first (at least) 1/3 of this book was BORING as all get out. I wasn’t grabbed AT ALL, I didn’t connect with any of the characters, and nothing interesting happened (just a lot of detailed description of every single day). I was seriously starting to wonder why my friends […]
2 stars — This one wasn’t a match for me, and I don’t even know why I continued reading it. There was so much leading me to DNF it, but my curiosity got the better of me and I kept going to try to get some answers…I kept wanting it to be better than it […]
Billy Pilgrim is the most irritating character ever! He is cowardly, yet determined to live. And he seems to accept things as they are, not really caring if they are true or not. Honestly, I laughed through a lot for this book because it was just so ridiculous. I’m sure there is something I am […]
3 stars — OK, I know this is going to sound childish, but I’m not a fan of not knowing ahead of time if a book is going to be the first of a series or a standalone. Does it matter in the end? I suppose not. But I find if I think it’s a […]
DNF @ chapter 15 — Yeah, perhaps it was a mistake to listen to this one *right* after finishing Obsidian. I think it would be better to read it when you’ve read more in the series and then you want extra. Because diving in right away, I felt like there was barely anything new added […]
3.5 stars — Hmmm…well, this one was enjoyable, but it didn’t blow me away. Sometimes I think getting into a series so much later after it first released ends up dulling the shine a bit. I felt like there were a lot of similarities to Twilight. Not like the whole book, but just little aspects […]
4 stars — Wow. Again, why don’t I read more science fiction?? I would have missed out on this gem if I wasn’t determined to stretch myself this year! OK, before I get going on my review, I just wanted to note that I would call this book mature YA rather than just normal YA. […]
Blurb: Relocating to Arctic Norway would put a freeze on anyone’s social life. For Leda Lindgren, with her crutches and a chip on her shoulder the size of her former Manhattan home, the frozen tundra is just as boring as it sounds. Until she meets her uncle’s gorgeous employee. Unfortunately, no matter how smoking hot […]
