And now I have serious book hangover...review of Legendary

And now I have serious book hangover…review of Legendary

So I’ve been waiting on Legendary to release since I finished Caraval last January.  I actually pre-ordered the book a couple months ago and am still waiting for it to arrive, since this isn’t actually coming out until May.  However for the first time in probably 5 years I actually won one of the GoodRead’s giveaways. So now I have an ARC of the book and will get the actual book in the mail next…

The Unofficial Zack Warren Fan Club by J.C. Isabella

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

It was just okay for me, dawg.

No really, this book was kind of so/so. I think it was because I felt like both Zack and Chloe’s characters felt very “young” to be in college. The story repeated itself over and over – I mean they established their relationship twice. And even when it is clear based on other people’s…

Forget You - Jennifer Echols

Forget You – Jennifer Echols

Forget You by Jennifer Echols

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Have you ever had one of those times where you start to read a book and think —-“I think I’ve read this before.” And since you’re not positive just keep on reading. About halfway through you’re sure of it. This is one of those times.

Apparently I forgot reading “Forget You.” 😆

This was a typical YA, very much not clean, and some plot things I…

I’m Back. Maybe.

I haven’t put a lot of serious effort into my blog in probably at least a year now. There are many reasons for that – some of them my own fault: feeling obligated to take review requests, and to give a perfect (Not 5 Star, but decently written, detailed enough) review…when sometimes my review really just was mentally “I liked it – it made me happy!” No one wants to read that kind of review!

Some…

Book Review: Fall Line - Tudor Robins

Book Review: Fall Line – Tudor Robins

Fall Line by Tudor Robins

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book started off a little slow for me, and I’m not sure if it was because I hadn’t actually read a book in a while, or if it was because it was just a bit slow to take off for me. Given a few chapters, however, I was sucked in and invested in Chris and Tilly’s story.

I enjoy books told from the guy’s point of view, I’m not even sure why that…
