Dumplin' Movie Review

Dumplin' Movie   .................................................................................................... Dumplin' Book I read Dumplin' in June of 2018, and honestly I just liked Millie and Bo, so I was interested to see those two.  The main plot seemed to movie just a little too fast, I wanted there to be more of the girls getting ready and encouraging one another more. I felt like Willowdean was just plain rude to Millie in some the scenes, especially how she said at the beginning, about how at least she wasn't clueless like Millie, who apparently didn't know she was fat. She judges others and then tells people to not judge her for being fat, it's kind of a double standard. She judges other girls for being skinny, when that is their choice, not all girls that are skinny are rude and they don't deserved to body shamed, that goes for all of the girls in this book. Ellen and Willowdean's falling out only lasted a day, ...

December Wrapup!

December was a rocky month for reading, I was only able to read five books, but three of them were four star reads! \ Five Feet Apart by Rachael Lippincott ★ ★ ★ ★ I received this book in a book subscription box, and it just made the whole reading experience even more magical!   ................................................................................................................................................... The Last Best Story by Maggie Lehrman ★ This book was just a weird mashup of lots of little book ideas and it did not work out well. One character was acting like a jerk and people didn't even seem to care.   ................................................................................................................................................... Notes from My Captivity by Kathy Parks ★ This book seemed to just be a big case of Stockholm Syndrome, and that is not something I want to support or read about i...

Disappointing Books of 2018

Muse of Nightmares by Laini Taylor I absolutely love Strange the Dreamer, and I couldn't wait for Muse of Nightmares. Unfortunately, I was letdown. It just seemed like there wasn't any actual plot in this book. There was also a lot of other stuff in this book that I wasn't expecting, so much terror and abuse. .................................................................................................................................................... Save the Date by Morgan Matson I probably should've guessed that I wouldn't like this book, seeing as I've never really loved any of Matson's other books. I can't really enjoy a book when everything  is going wrong, and the romance in this book seemed thrown in last minute. .................................................................................................................................................... Fawkes by Nadine Brandes This was a historical fantasy ficti...

Best 10 Books of 2018 Some of these books were not released in 2018, but I read them in 2018. Turtles All the Way Down by John Green This was actually my first John Green book, and I just loved the way Green wrote out the story and how he was able to tell how a person was feeling without being so direct. .................................................................................................................................................... In Search Of Us by Ava Dellaira When you switch between two different perspectives, it usually doesn't work, but in this book it was very important in this book, and it worked beautifully. .................................................................................................................................................... Made You Up by Francesca Zappia As soon as I read the first page, I could tell that this book was going to be a memorable one, and it was. I don't know how t...

November Wrap-up

Amber & Dusk by Lyra Selene ★ ★ ★ Interesting fantasy world, but just a little bit predictable.  Overall, it was a fun enjoyable fantasy read. I'll definitely read the next book, if there is one. .................................................................................................................................................... The Color of Lies by CJ Lyons ★ This author was trying so much to make the sentences sound eloquent, but it ended up just looking just she was trying too hard. The aura part of this book just seemed like a gimmick that was supposed to make this book stand out against all the other thriller mystery books, but it ended up just frustrating me.  .................................................................................................................................................... Dear Evan Hansen by Val Emmich ★ ★ While reading, I realized I had to separate this book and the musical, ...
