A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray My rating: 2 of 5 stars I really wanted to enjoy this one. It’s set in a time period that I’m quite fond of. It should have been something that I was absolutely thrilled to read. It had magic in a mystique sort of way. it had…
Crystal Kingdom by Amanda Hocking My rating: 4 of 5 stars I didn’t think I was going to end up enjoying this story quite as much as I did. After reading the first two books in the series I had come to the conclusion that I was quite fond of the pacing and story telling…
Carry On by Rainbow Rowell My rating: 4 of 5 stars I loved Fangirl. I grew up loving D/H fanfic. This sounded like a the perfect thing that I would absolutely love. I didn’t. Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoyed it (I wouldn’t be giving it 4 stars If I didn’t), but I still…
Illuminae by Amie Kaufman My rating: 4.75 of 5 stars I did a video review for this book, which you can find here. When you love a book, you love a book and this was one of them. Almost as soon as I started reading this book I knew I was going to like it.…
Cress by Marissa Meyer My rating: 4 of 5 stars My goodness this was a step in the right direction. Don’t get me wrong I enjoyed Scarlet, but it definitely wasn’t as good as Cinder. In large part that was because I didn’t find Scarlet particularly interesting. After reading Cress, I still don’t, but Cress…
Ice Kissed by Amanda Hocking My rating: 3 of 5 stars Hello book number two. I liked Frostfire, but I certainly didn’t love it. While I inhaled Ice kissed, I didn’t really fall in love. I had issues with structure. I was uncertain about where it was heading and the end result while interesting didn’t…
Mortal Gods by Kendare Blake My rating: 4 of 5 stars I read the first book on a whim and liked it. I picked up this book hoping I’d enjoy it as well and I certainly did. Kendare Blake gets better with every book I’ve read by her. Mortal Gods did not disappoint as our…
Library of Souls by Ransom Riggs My rating: 4.25 of 5 stars This was going to get a 4, but its rare to run into an ending so satisfying it feels perfect. It really does feel increasingly rare that endings are both satisfying an logical. It’s one thing to close up all threads. It’s another…
Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead My rating: 2.75 of 5 stars It has officially been a while since I finished the book (okay so 2 weeks isn’t that long). It’s always telling when so little of it can be recollected. Thankfully, as I’m writing this it’s coming back to me and honestly it isn’t that…
Frostfire by Amanda Hocking My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars This is one of those books that I knew was out there, but had no major drive to pick up. It was sitting in my library ebook collection and I figured why not. Time ticked down and I had to pick it up to read.…
Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli My rating: 4 of 5 stars I wanted to love this. While I didn’t, I still really enjoyed it. There were a lot of great things going for it. One of the biggest draws to this story is the mystery. You are reading all of these…
A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars What did this book do to me? I still don’t know. I do know that I fell in love. I didn’t know much about this book. I thought it was about time travel (wrong!) and was a revenge story (wrong again).…
Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo My rating: 4.75 of 5 stars 4.75 I loved it. It is near perfection. It is rare that I become so invested in a book. It is even more rare that I love a book so much that I keep thinking about the book well after completing it. In…
Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi My rating: 3 of 5 stars You know I was a little skeptical going into this book. I heard about it a year ago, but kept putting it off. Then it was suddenly available in my library’s ebook collection. And it was #diversiverse. It was time that I needed to…
Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was on the verge of getting a 4.5(with five stars for goodreads), but that ending. The Grisha Trilogy was never something that felt action packed to me. Yes, there were always things happened, but until this book they felt few and far…
So, I pondered...
