Favorite Quotes: “I was looking for you,” Elena hissed. That voice…I shuddered. To Ronan, I mumbled, “Five seconds.” “Five seconds until what?” huffed Elena, her penetrating gaze swiveling my way. I resisted the urge to stick my tongue out at her like a child. Or give her the finger like an adult. Either option appealed […]
Favorite Quote: “We need more women out in the world. To hide them away only creates a demand for them as commodities. We need women in positions of power, in educated jobs, in supportive and leadership roles. That’s how we make the world a safer place for our kids.” This one rocked! The way that […]
3.5 stars — I was excited for my first multi-cast audiobook, but I don’t think this is how it’s usually supposed to go, so it was a bit of a let down. There’s this giant list of narrators, but they didn’t consistently do their characters voice, if that makes sense. Like Mindy Kaling was the voice […]
4.5 stars — Well colour me intrigued!! I loved how that story of the women with the feather came into play. It’s all super intriguing. It gives it a bit more of a fantasy vibe than just pure dystopian. And a wall of FIRE?? Crazy!! Lots of great detail about the world beyond what we’ve […]
4.5 stars — Well, that was a lot of crying. I mean, I know I’m a crier, but damn. Emily Zeller was fantastic as always as the narrator. Her voices were consistent even with the first book, and I basically just LOVE everything about how she narrates these books. I honestly can’t imagine consuming this […]
4 stars — I might be in the minority, but I kind of love alternative POV short stories. I love getting in the head of another major character and seeing things through their eyes. And that’s what this short story from Peree gave me. The problem? It was too short. It just made me want […]
4.5 stars — I was sucked into this book almost immediately from the start. The concept was so unique, the details were superb, and the attention paid to Fennel’s sightlessness made me feel sightless myself. And I genuinely think that a great book was made even more spectacular by listening to it. Emily Woo Zeller […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4.5 stars — Fabulous! If you love movies like She’s The Man, this will fit your bill. The main plot isn’t unique, but I loved the new setting of in the future. What a strange imagination the author has, and it was definitely not a utopic future. Not always as lighthearted as the […]
4 stars — Well, that was a super intriguing premise, though really dark and disturbing as well. Rain and Wes go through a LOT. I was intrigued by what was going on with Rain, but I also started to lose patience when it took so long to get answers. I think I was anticipating Rain’s […]
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 […]
