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 […]
Yes! Kenji POV!!! YAY!!! ♡ I preordered this the *day* that I heard about it and was able to. I knew the release was coming up and then bam! It comes in!! Read in one sitting. Engrossing, entertaining, and incredible…this pulled me right from the start and didn’t let go. Kenji is one of my favorites and I adored that this was from his pov. And not just his regular […]
It is not often that I get literal chills upon finishing a book. I listened to the audiobook, narrated by Oprah Winfrey herself as well as those whom speak during, and I gotta tell you…the way the epilogue ended? Chills. There are universal truths that we can all relate to. We are all seeking something. We are all trying to find something. That truth, that knowing? It is (and always […]
I have been on a nonfiction, better ones-self kick lately when it comes to reading. When I was able to aquire the e-arc from Netgalley on this one I was very excited to jump straight in! There were some very good takeaways here. Especially worth reading for anyone struggling with a sense of not deserving good things in their lives…and who doesn’t have that thought? Sometimes we all struggle to […]
I have read all five of Ruth Ware’s published novels and instead of doing the reviews individually, I am combining them all into one lovely post. As I read them at different times, and out of their publication order, I reference obviously different moments of time throughout. I wanted to keep it that way as the original posts because it adds to the charm I think of the times that […]
