The Sound: I think it was a mistake for me to listen to this one on audio… the whiny aspect of the main character Anna was magnified by actually hearing it. At about 72% I switched over to reading it on my kindle because the MC’s personality grated on me so much and the audio was exacerbating how I felt. The Story: You know, I’ve heard so much about this series and so much about swoony boy Kaidan Rowe. This […]
I really hadn’t heard much about this one and decided to listen to it on audio after I read Tonya’s review of it. It sounded interesting and I haven’t read much steampunk so I wanted to check it out. I’m so glad I did! It was such an enjoyable book!! Katharine Tulman is sent to her uncle’s estate to report back to her aunt that her uncle is mentally ill — essentially because her aunt is greedy and wants to take […]

For my re-read reviews for the Re-read Challenge hosted by Kelly and Hannah, I’ll be adopting Kelly’s reread review format! When I First Read: I remember it vividly. I was in undergrad and I read it on a weekday and stayed up until 3 am finishing it! Since then I have reread it countless times. More than I can count. What I Remember: A sweeping epic romance that also made me sob uncontrollably every single time that I reread. Why I Wanted to Reread: It’s just […]
The Sound: I thought the narrator Phoebe Strole was fantastic. I feel like all the emotion was transferred so well into Emmy’s voice! I loved listening to this one. The Story: This story is so interesting because the situation is just so.. well, messed up. Emmy and Oliver were best friends as kids and next door neighbors — until Oliver’s dad kidnapped him and everyone’s lives changed. Now, ten years later, he’s back. Everyone wants him to hate his dad […]
