The Sound: I really liked the audio narrators! I always like when there are two narrators for a dual POV book and I thought both did such a great job. They definitely fit how I pictured the characters to sound — for example, Luna is a bit naive and the narrator for her definitely sounded young and innocent. The Story: I had been really excited for this fantasy and I have to say… it fell a bit short for me. […]

The Sound: I really liked this narrator! I thought she did a great job for each POV that we were in. No complaints here! The Story: I really thought I’d like this one more than I actually did. It takes place in an alternate history where women are allowed to fight in WWII. Firstly, I love historical fiction. Secondly, this premise sounds awesome! The story is told in three different POV. One is a naive girl named Rio from California, […]

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!

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? 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 […]
