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 […]
3.5 stars — While I was intrigued by the plot and where it would go, in the end I wasn’t particularly attached to the characters, or the romance, which tends to be my bread and butter…and something I need to really push a book over the top. I both listened and read, though I only […]
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 […]
4.5 stars — Well shit, that was good to the last drop my friends! Sierra was a delightful heroine, which is kind of a weird thing to say because she’s a bit closed off on the surface. She was smart, thoughtful, hardworking, and had a genuine love for her job that you could feel. I […]
4 stars — If you’re looking for a sweet, super low angst M/M, look no further. Occasionally I felt like it was a bit too sweet, but then you know what? Sometimes I want all that happy. Sometimes it’s nice to read the happy. Caleb and Tag were just so freaking adorable, I can’t even. […]
5 stars — This book blew me away in all the best ways. It was adorable. It was thought provoking. It was emotional. It was everything I love about YA, with the added bonus of expanding my horizons in multiple ways through double diversity. I honestly don’t even know what to say, except that Liz was […]
4 stars — Well this book surprised me with the depth it contained! It also had me ordering Japanese food, but that’s because I’m easily influenced. This was my first time listening to Ryan West, and he was pretty solid. I will say that with both narrators I had a harder time figuring out dialogue […]
4.5 stars — OMG! The cuteness! I can’t even! I love YA’s like this, that make me feel uplifted and light even though they deal with some tough subjects. I felt a mix of emotions while reading it, for sure, but my overall feel was one of sparkling happiness. Can I just start by saying […]
3.5 stars — There were certain aspects of this story I just loved, but there was also a LOT going on and I think it was too much. This was my first time listening to Victoria Mei, but she has a sound similar to Erin Mallon for me (which is a good thing). Both narrators […]
