Audiobook Mini Reviews: Love, Life and the List, Truly Devious, The Glass Spare

Posted July 23, 2018 by Wendy in Mini Reviews, Reviews / 0 Comments

My Thoughts: Unfortunately, this Kasie West book missed the mark for me! It’s actually making me a little hesitant about future Kasie West YA contemporaries because a few have totally been meh for me. I would absolutely love for her to go back to some non contemporary writing (I mean Pivot Point was AMAZING). Anyway, as far as this one goes, I thought I would enjoy it since friends to more is totally a favorite trope of mine! However, there was […]

Mini Reviews: A Kiss In The Dark, American Panda, I Believe In A Thing Called Love

My Thoughts: The cover is really cute and the premise sounds fun and adorable. Unfortunately this one completely missed the mark for me and I really struggled to finish the book. There are two timelines, junior year and senior year, that alternate through out the book. Something happened junior year that screwed up Macy’s friendships and the alternating timelines are supposed to reveal the story. Unfortunately… both timelines came off really dull to me — both are wholly encompassed by homecoming […]

My Thoughts: Spoiler alert: I was such a black sheep on this one. The premise is really intriguing. Alice has spent her whole life moving around with her mom because bad luck always seems to find them. Her grandmother is sort of famous for writing a book of dark fairy tales — a […]

Why Did I Read? I love fairy tale retellings. Every time that’s in a blurb, I’m like I need it! My Thoughts: I really loved the first half of this book! This Snow White retelling was super original and had some really fascinating aspects and twists on the classic Snow White fairytale. That’s my favorite part about retellings — seeing the unique twists that authors come up with and how they fit into this brand new story and still seeing […]

Review: Starry Eyes by Jenn Bennett

Review: Starry Eyes by Jenn Bennett

Why Did I Read? The great outdoors! Hiking! It’s my thing! Plus I loved Jenn Bennett’s YA contemporary last year too! My Thoughts: I could not have picked a more perfect time to read Starry Eyes. I was on a multi day backpacking hiking trip in New Zealand when I read it! I was literally out in the forest and the great outdoors as I read about Zorie and Lennon hacking it out there. Firstly, a little bit of background: I […]
