ON REREREAD: 4.5 stars — It’s been a LONG time since I’ve read this one, and I’m finally coming back to finish the series!! Hopefully. I will admit that it didn’t suck me in quite as much as it did the first time. I’m not sure if it’s the mood I’m in, b/c it seems […]
ON REREAD: 4 stars — I’m finally attempting to finish the Knitting in the City series this year, and have decided to do so through audiobooks. I’d already read this one, but wanted to reread to fit it into context, and also to see how it fares in audio! I found that my opinions were […]
ON REREAD: 3 stars — You know, I didn’t want to reread this book…or rather, I was afraid to reread it. It was like some part of me knew that I was a different person, and so I wouldn’t read the book the same way. And that little part of me was right on the […]
ON REREAD: 4.5 stars — OMG, I’m so glad I reread this book while my hubby was on a business trip, b/c even though I knew it was coming, I still uncontrollably bawled at a certain part of this book. Gawd, this book makes me feel SO MUCH!! I feel like it just took the […]
ON REREAD: 4.5 stars — I don’t know, I feel like I enjoyed this one even more the second time around. I still had the same issues with Charlene’s age, it just WASN’T believable AT ALL, and I think I would have enjoyed it way more if she’d even just been 16 going on 17 […]
ON REREAD: 3.75 stars — I love reading over my reviews after a reread, because so many times I feel EXACTLY the same way, with maybe only slight variations. I agree with most of my opinions on my lack of connection with Bethi, and with the romance between Bethi and Luke. From a “installment in […]
ON REREAD: 4.5 stars — I think I enjoyed this one even more the second time through. I’m not sure if it’s because I knew what to expect, or I was just in a great mood, but I was sucked into this one so fast. As I said in my original review, I really connected […]
ON REREAD: 4 stars — It’s been a few years since I first tried this series, I think I stopped because the rest of the series wasn’t complete. So I’m finishing the series now, and I honestly felt almost EXACTLY the same as from my original review (which is linked below). I still found the […]
AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: 4.5 stars — There was so much going on in this one, and I’m still loving being back in this series. This one felt more solid than The Reluctant King, in that the writing and the progression of the romance was much smoother and realistic. Bailey Carr’s narration is still solid for me. […]
4 stars — OK, the WEIRDEST thing has happened. I thought I had only read the first 3 books in this series and had the last 2 to finally finish it. But as I was rereading the first 3, and particularly Trial by Fire, I was so confused because I was like “wait, didn’t *this* […]
