Why Did I Read? I have been so excited for this collection of short stories! Ever since I finished Winter and fell into such a bad book hangover, I have been anticipating Stars Above! My Thoughts: Marissa Meyer is the queen of writing the most magnetic characters and the best friendships and relationships. I have missed these characters so so much and reading the short stories was so much fun! I read them in order and did NOT peek at the epilogue. […]

The Sound: I was not a fan of the narrator. There was this odd lilting tone that made it sound like the MC was super whiny all the time. During the voices for other characters, it was fine but since the book is in first person, all the inner dialogue and well, everything when other people weren’t talking, just GRATED on me. So… maybe I wouldn’t have disliked this book as much if it weren’t for the narrator? Perhaps. But […]

Why Did I Read? I’m a big fan of time travel books and so of course, the sound of this one hooked me in!

It started off really slowly for me though. There’s a large segment in the beginning where our main character Etta goes back in time and she really […]

The Sound: I’ve mentioned last week in my series review of Cinder, Scarlet, and Cress how much I LOVE the narrator and that obviously has not changed. This audio book is the longest I’ve listened to. TWENTY-THREE AND A HALF HOURS. I loved every second of it and fell into such a book slump after this book because I not only missed the world and the characters but I missed their voices. Rebecca Soler is amazing. She captured each character perfectly and it definitely enhanced […]

My Thoughts: Now that it’s December and Christmas is mere weeks away, it’s the perfect time to curl up with some fun holiday reads! It just seems like the perfect type of read to reach toward after setting up the tree and curling up by the fire (preferably with hot cocoa!) Mistletoe and Mr. Right definitely hits the spot! The book is technically two novellas, Mistletoe and Mr. Right and Sleigh Bells and Second Chances compiled into one finished copy which is fantastic […]
