Mammoth by Jill Baguchinsky ARC Review

Mammoth by Jill Baguchinsky When I read books where characters continuously make poor choices, it irritates me and makes me feel bad for the character. I did enjoy the romance and the science part of this book. I think there need to be more books with main enjoy science and learning. It was nice to see that in this one. After finishing this book, I found that I was annoyed by the word 'awesome', it's said so much in this book that it starts to get tiresome. I enjoyed this book, and thought the idea of mammoths was a cute theme. I just wished there was more going on other then the usual side romance and an antagonist trying to hurt our main character is someway or form.  I received an Advanced Reader's Copy in exchange for my honest review

Dry by Neal and Jarrod Shusterman Review

Dry by Neal and Jarrod Shusterman ★ ★ ★ This was one of my most anticipated reads for October, and I just don't know I felt about it!! I felt like as a 'thriller', this was an interesting book.  The kid gang that happened in this book felt like every dystopian book ever, which I find kind of irked me. This book was following all the other tropes in most books I've seen. One thing I didn't expect in this book was the amount of death and fear of characters dying in this book. It was sad to see Kelton's brother being shot by his father, and then for us to find out that he'd been staying in the bug out using up all the emergency supplies was sad too, his brother hated living at home so much that he lived in a bug out and never told his family about it or how he need help. I know a lot of people might not feel the same way, but when Alyssa and her brother found their dog,  Kingston, and he had gotten in with another feral dog pack and he was...

Discussion about Books I'll Probably Never Read

Some of these series/books I'll probably never read are some people's favorite series and that's completely fine! Everyone has their own opinion and people all like different things!!   ................................................................................................................................................... Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling I have no desire to read these books. It's not that I don't like the writing or the characters, it's just that there are so many wonderful books to read and I would rather read something I think I'll love rather then HP.   ................................................................................................................................................... Cassandra Clare Books I don't really have any interest in reading these books either. Nothing against the author, but I just don't find them in my genres I enjoy reading.   ................

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. .........................................................................................................
