October Wrapup!

★ ★ Grim Lovelies by Megan Shepherd I traded someone on Twitter for an ARC of this book. I 'm not sure what I was expecting to get from this book.  It seemed like t oo much happened too fast in the end of this book, it seemed like the author was trying to tie up everything before the book got to 400 pages. Read my full review  here!   ................................................................................................................................................... ★ The Girl Who Was Supposed to Die by April Henry Everything in this book was predictable and I found myself not really interested in the plot. There seemed to be lots of recurring sentences about the main character blacking out or fainting, which got tiresome.   ................................................................................................................................................... ★ ★ ★ Dry by Neal Shusterman and Jarrod Shust...

The Caged Queen by Kristen Ciccarelli Review

The Caged Queen by Kristen Ciccarelli ★ ★ ★ ★ I had to take a few days to just let this amazing book sink in before I reviewed it. I recently read The Last Namsara and quite enjoyed it! I was thrilled to see there was going to be a sequel, The Caged Queen which I found out while reading, it's a companion to The Last Namsara, which means you can read the books in whatever order you'd like.   This story is about about Roa, Asha's brother's wife. I'd realized as soon as I started the book that I didn't remember a lot about the last book, which didn't matter.   The fact that Roa had to plunge a knife into her 'sister' almost made me cry, and I was overjoyed Roa didn't end up helping Rebekah. Essie was a character who I didn't even know, and somehow I managed to love and adore her. She was everything Roa used to be before she lost Essie. The idea of Roa still being able to talk to her sister and have her advice w...

To All The Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han Series Review

So a while back I heard about this series and just decided it wasn't really a series I would be interested in. After the movie came out, it was always showing up on my Goodreads feed, and people were loving it, so I decided to give it a shot. .................................................................................................................................................... ★ ★ To All The Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han I'll admit, the first book was pretty cute, but only because of Peter. I also love Kitty, who's probably the only actual character I laugh at or find relatable.  Margot annoyed me, I felt like she kept flipping between caring for Lara Jean and then suddenly getting upset for little things.  The love triangle, I knew there was going to be one, but I just wished it would've been executed better. .........................................................................................................

Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman Review

Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman ★ ★ This book was not what I was expecting, it had a little bit of a darker undertone to it. The humor in the book was well written and made me laugh out loud. Some of the scenes in this book could have been written better or painted a more vivid picture of what was happening in some parts of the book. "He was alone when he died. Do they suspect foul play?" I actually did laugh out loud at this part of the book, because you just can't say stuff like that, and Eleanor had no idea it wasn't something you should say. Especially right after the family had lost their grandfather. This definitely is an adult book, I don't know if it was because I wasn't invested enough in the story or just wanted it to be over, but I feel like it wasn't a great interesting read. I might end up reading it again when I'm older.

Amazon   B&N   BD   Goodreads Valentine has spent years trying to outrun her mother's legacy. But small towns have long memories, and when a new string of murders occurs, all signs point to the daughter of a murderer.   Only one person believes Valentine is innocent—Rowan Blackshaw, the son of the man her mother killed all those years ago.

I'm so excited to be a part of this amazing blog tour for such an interesting book! SPOILERS The plot twists in this book shocked me, anything to do with the murders. Black's writing in this book is extremely convincing along with Valentine, you start to believe the exact ...

Grim Lovelies by Megan Shepherd Review

Grim Lovelies by Megan  Shepherd ★ ★ I'm not sure what I was expecting to get from this book, and I had low expectations, but it ended up being underwhelming.  Too much happened too fast in the end of this book, it seemed like the author was trying to tie up everything before the book got to 400 pages.  The characters in this book honestly annoyed me so much and basically had no actual emotions or feeling. I had no interest whatsoever for the characters and what happened to them. It seemed like the author was trying to get every single minority for a character into this book, which I don't mind, if it's done well.  It was hard for me to picture the characters and the scenes in this book. It felt like it wasn't painting a vivid picture of what was going on. Goblins.......also annoyed me, they didn't really add much to the book except that they were helping and them they were gone?  The Paris setting was one of the few things I did love about this book. E...
