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. […]

Why Did I Read? This book is pitched as Friday Night Lights meets Pride and Prejudice. Why, hello, two things I love! If you didn’t know, I have a Football Friday feature and also have an undying love of football as well as of Mr. Darcy. It’s a wonder I even waited this long to read this book! My Thoughts: I really, really loved this one, you guys! So Devon is your average high school senior — she’s trying to […]

Audiobook Review: Winter by Marissa Meyer

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 […]

Review: Walk On Earth A Stranger by Rae Carson

Why Did I Read? I was SO excited to hear that Rae Carson was coming out with a new fantasy series! I adored her Girl of Fire and Thorns series, so I could not have been more elated! My Thoughts: First off, this book was not what I expected at all. I think I was expecting a fantasy akin to Rae’s previous series but Walk On Earth A Stranger felt primarily historical fiction with just a touch of fantasy. For me, this didn’t pose a problem […]

Why Did I Read? I’ve seriously loved all of Megan Erickson’s books so this was a no brainer! My Thoughts: I was so happy to be back with the Paytons! I just love all members of this crazy family and couldn’t wait to get Brent’s story. Since Dirty Thoughts, I was excited for Brent because he’s just a funny, carefree, guy. He’s the one who tells the jokes and he had me cracking up continuously in the previous book. In Dirty Talk, […]
