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 […]
4.5 stars — Uh oh. This is going to be one of those reviews. I genuinely don’t know how to write this one, because I’m still sitting over hear absorbing it…and recovering from a crying headache, that was probably worse than it should have been but what can I say? I’m on my period. I […]
3.5 stars — I don’t know what it is with this book, but I’m having a really hard time figuring out my thoughts on it. Let’s just say that this audio took me forever to finish because I kept pausing and playing sudoku games on my phone instead because it couldn’t hold my attention. I […]
3.5 stars — While still not the hit that the entire Sinful Wallflower series was for me, this was a definite improvement over the first Calydon book! I think the writing had improved leaps and bounds, and in the end the disconnect was more in the types of characters in this one, particularly the hero. […]
3.75 stars — While in general this was da bomb like all the books in this series, there were a few things that just niggled at me I guess…and apparently niggled enough to not quite make 4 stars. Whatever, it’s my review, I’ll do what I want. I really enjoyed Livvy, though it wasn’t quite […]
2.5 stars — I probably went into this wary from the little I remembered of Abraham from previous books, and unfortunately he never won me over. I totally understand that there is a WHOLE schwakload of humans out there still fully intrenched in toxic masculinity. But if my hero is going to be swimming in […]
4 stars — This was a solid romance, if a bit short. I think it didn’t hurt that I really enjoyed both narrators. This is my second time listening to Mr. Snow, and I just really like his voice. Both narrators were fantastic with pacing, voices and emotions, they made it so easy to listen. […]
3.5 stars — This one started off super flat for me. Honestly, if it wasn’t a book club book and I wasn’t buddy reading, I would have DNFd and moved on to something else. I don’t really read MG books, but this one definitely read more like MG than YA for me. The characterizations were […]
4 stars — I absolutely loved the setting for this book, and now kind of want to check out a renaissance faire. And while I enjoyed Simon and Emily’s story, I have a feeling it was never going to be my favourite in a series I’m looking forward to continuing. I listened to this one, […]
OVERALL: 3.5 stars — Mostly pretty solid stories, with a few standouts! BABY, IT’S COLD OUTSIDE by Kimberly Kincaid 3.25 stars — Solid, just didn’t blow me away. It just felt short, but that can happen with short stories. PLANES, TRAINS AND HEAD OVER HEELS by Erika Kelly 3.75 stars — Started off a bit […]
