The star ratings I give books have nothing to do with if I think a book is well-written, or has mass readability, or even if it’s a literary masterpiece. Rather, its to do with the convoluted feelings™️ rating system inside myself that boils down to:
⭐️ - Give me a fucking break
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Yep. That’s the one my soul needed to hear. Good stuff.
Dungeon Crawler Carl

2026 - Book #1
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Stats:
Date Read: Jan 10-14. Periodic.
Format + Pages: Thought it was Kindle. Turns out I bought it. Ooooops. 446 pages.
Thoughts:
It’s been a long time since I read a book that wasn’t romance-adjacent in some way. I really really wanted to make sure that in 2026 I did that. ✔️ DONE.
This book scratched an itch in my brain in such a satisfying way. I’m really into numbers and stats and D&D. This books held components of each plus Carl’s character arc is just so good. I’m very excited to continue reading this series.
Favorite Quotes:
Princess Donut has named your party The Royal Court of Princess Donut. Princess Donut has changed your title to Royal Bodyguard. Princess Donut has changed her title to Grand Champion Best in Dungeon.

Compelled to Finish: I don’t even know why I have this question here. Yes, I’m always compelled. But honestly, this was so intriguing.
Feedback:
Lyra is such a well-written main character with interesting twists. I enjoyed this portrayal of Hades and his motivations as well.
A lot of Lyra’s story touched deep parts of my heart and made this book perhaps more emotional than was intended by the author. The emotional parts were handled with realism and often times wisdom.
Much of the story had great pacing, but some parts felt stilted. Almost like they hadn’t been fleshed out fully. Either way this won’t stop me from reading the next one when it comes out.

You have to give the dieties points for creativity and their flair for bloodlust.
What could have been now will never be. That’s what hurts the most.
you can pry starting sentences with 'and' or 'but' out of my cold, dead hands

2024 - Book ?? (I’ll figure it out)
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Gonna keep it short and sweet here. Well written, but it really infuriates me when books don’t wrap up any sort of conflict and leave it on a cliff hanger.
I understand when they have a self contained story but the larger plot is not resolved. This one very much felt like we were heading into intermission, rather than having resolved anything.
Not a fan. 3 stars because it wasn’t bad though.
Chapter 2 of House of Memories is now up!
Story Summary:
When Draco Malfoy witnesses Hermione obliviate herself at the Ministry, he can’t help but search for answers.
Chapter Excerpt:
“I will not be made out to be a villain.”
“You have my word.”
“That means nothing to me.”
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
In the Fanfiction World:
I have become so deeply obsessed with Lionheart by GreenTeaCups. It is amazing. I generally do not touch WIPs. But this is written so amazingly. I can’t even believe it.
one annoying part about finishing the first book from a series is that you can't even search up fanart because you'll very likely see spoilers about the other books in that series
good horror is often deeply sad. Send post

2024 - Book 14

Time Read: I forgot to keep track….
Compelled to Finish? Yes, kinda. It wasn’t gripping in the sense I couldn’t put it down.
Feedback:
GREAT story! I’d had Covid in Feb which really put me out of the count reading-wise, and I’d found it hard to pick a book back up, for whatever reason. Saw this advertised, read it on KU and was genuinely surprised at its depth, writing, character development, and plot.
For a romance novel, which this story firmly is, I enjoyed the main characters, but also the supporting cast. Never have I felt compelled to read the other stories in a series about the other people from a romance novel. BUT she’s written them so I started on the next one.
Overall, loved it. Maybe it should be a 5, but meh. I’m settling for a 4.
Favorite Quotes:
Well. As a first, I forgot to take note of any quotes. This book was like a warm hug and I enjoyed everything that was written. GO. READ. IT.
Nobody understands the bond between a girl and the mediocre book she read when she was 13 years old.

Compelled to Finish: Meh. It was an easy read.
Feedback:
To be clear, this isn’t a bad book. I just feel that having Cas’ perspective added no narrative value to the series. Don’t get me wrong. I loved seeing things from his pov. But so much of this book was reused dialogue.
The parts that were new to us were very well written as always. The ending is so enticing. I’m about to purchase the next one. I can’t see why specifically JA chose to end the storytelling there when he declares marriage.
I am very interested to read the next.
Favorite Quotes:
Fucking Nektas, the eldest and inarguably most dangerous of the draken, was starting to piss me off.
“I’m glad to be alive. Tell her she has my everlasting devotion and utter, complete adoration when she wakes.”
“You’re an absolutely stunning murderous little creature.”
Oh my god. The next book isn’t out yet.
