Read for the Tropeical Readathon prompt of read a book you previously DNF’d. Wow. I had tried multiple times over the past few years to get into this work. It wasn’t the right time. It was odd because usually when I DNF a book, it isn’t for a timing sort of purpose. Yet, this book was something that I knew I would circle back to when the time was right. […]
🔮 Read as part of the OWLs Magical Readathon for the Divination prompt- random number generator for your TBR. This was the lucky winner! Thankfully the random number generator chose this for me because it isn’t necessarily what I would have reached for otherwise. It is especially interesting to me because I had planned on reading this for last years OWLs, but changed to a different book instead in planning […]
🔮 I listened to this as part of the OWLs readathon for the Astronomy prompt of reading a book mostly at night. This book was the longest of my chosen reads for OWLs coming in at 384 pages. Most of my choices this time were around the 300 page or so mark. This one is being so hyped within the book community and I believe it is definitely deserving of […]
To complete my read the New Testament in 2020, I wound up going ahead a little bit at the end of 2019 and reading Matthew. So, technically, I read 26 of the 27 books of the New Testament in 2020 and not all 27. You can read my thoughts on my reading of the Old Testament in 2019 HERE. I was surprised by how quickly it flew by though. I […]
It is finally here! As of February 4th, this beauty was released officially into the world. This is probably the most difficult to rate book I have EVER come across. Man oh man is it difficult to do this without spoilers, but I am a professional so I will do my absolute best to reign it all in. The Diviners series has been THE most influential book series for me […]
I inhaled this in one sitting. This tends to happen when I read work by Lovelace. I related to so much of what she says. I found different lines we are all familiar with twisted and turned creatively. I found song lyrics expanded to fit the theme. I found myself nodding along at aspects presented concerning my first ever relationship as well as inspiration for my career now. Wow. Incredible. […]
This was even more twisty than her previous work which I adored when I reviewed it last year! (See The Last House Guest review here) Her writing and way of crafting a story just keeps getting better and better! The threads that all wound and the questions being raised while getting answers and the speculations…oh man. What a wild ride!!!! I didn’t guess until a page or two before the […]
I loved every single thing about this book! I listened to it on audio and the narrator did SUCH a great job performing this! It was intriguing to read from the perspective of a person not quite knowing how to be a human, that she felt very outcast for not conforming to social norms and not thinking the way that most other people do! I could relate to her for […]
I read this as part of the Winter Magical Readathon for the prompt of “Read a contemporary (a book, comic, short story etc, set in the real (muggle) world)”. Most of the stories here took place in our real world, even if some did have additions of a wee bit of magic. It took me using this as a prompt to speed up my finishing it. I liked that this […]
It took me a month and ten days to finish it, but by golly guys I did it! Let’s chat about how I came to my 4 star rating and then get into each one on its own: There were 21 stories collected here. Each with a possibility of being rated at 5 stars. That totaled to 105 as the max amount possible. My rating wound up with 91 out […]
