4 stars — I loved the first half of this book, it just hit all of my reading buttons, you know? There’s something about a damaged man and a strange friendship that develops without seeing one another that just…it’s a guilty pleasure. I will admit that it got a bit slow for a bit, but […]
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 […]
4.5 stars — Dudes!! This one surprised me in the BEST ways! I was sucked in from the beginning, and it was just so different and fun for a retelling! As usual I forgot to finish this review, so it’ll be a bit choppy… First things first, the narrator was fantastic! Ms. Fortgang’s voices were […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
3 stars — I was so excited for this book. 1) Guy knitters?? Yes please! My hubby is a sexy male knitter, so I’m all over that. 2) Look at that cover! 3) #ownvoices book with main characters of colour?? WOOP! But…well…I kinda had to push myself to finish this book, and if it hadn’t […]
