3.5 stars — I think if I hadn’t been reading this for my Diversity challenge, I might have just DNF’d. And that doesn’t mean the book was bad, just that I think it wasn’t for me. It took me almost a whole month to read this one, I just didn’t reach for it. The narrators […]
3.5 stars — This book was not quite what I was expecting…which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it did leave me feeling a bit unsatisfied in some areas. I actually started off listening to the audiobook I got from the library, but I wasn’t a fan of either narrator, so I switched to the […]
4.5 stars — This felt like a true coming of age YA novel…just one that brings more diversity and representation. And while I learned a LOT about being trans, and about all the different flavours of queer out there, if you break it down it’s also just about Felix figuring out who he is, coming into […]
4.5 stars — In so many ways this was a typical romance — I could see the conflict coming from a mile away. But in other ways it was something altogether new and different — the challenges that each of our characters faced, their quirks, were wholly unique. And in the end, both aspects played […]
3.5 stars — I both listened and read this book. This was another one of those books that while I couldn’t find fault with the narrator (and in fact I’ve enjoyed Ms. Guest in other audiobooks), I just had a harder time getting sucked in when listening. But when I would switch to reading, it […]
4 stars — I’ve had ups and downs with retellings, but this one was totally solid! Mr. Sanderlin was a solid narrator. He wasn’t my favourite, but it’s probably just a personal taste thing, not because of his talent. In general his different voices were fairly easy to tell apart, I mostly only had a […]
3.5 stars — This book was up and down for me. There were elements that worked very very well, and there were elements that just didn’t for me. Basically, it was the ultimate mixed bag. The prologue sucked me in immediately and I felt a lot for both Reagan and Zac. The problem is that […]
4.5 stars — I mean…I knew it was going to be bad (the inevitable cliffhanger)…but wow. Just. Why did I read this right now? Why didn’t I wait?? *wailing noises* OK, it’s not *that* bad. I have some theories. But still. WRITE FASTER!!!!! So, uh, yeah. I really enjoyed it. I read the first book, […]
4 stars — Yet another book that I was wary of when I started…just wasn’t immediately sucked in, you know? Kept wondering where it was going to go. But somewhere along the way I did get sucked in, and I desperately wanted to know details of the mystery. I think this is probably a 3.75 […]
4 stars — OK, this was just freaking adorable. And I learned a new romance book term — a cinnamon roll!!! I LOVE CINNAMON ROLLS!! Both the actual baking treat and the adorable heroes!!! BRING THEM ON!! Ahem. Anyways. I thought this was just exactly what I needed for a fun romance. Both Jordan and […]
