Longtime fan, first time participant. I love to read but often find healthy competition an important motivator for sitting down and reading after a busy day.

On one of the covers it says “you will be charmed” but I was not charmed, not at all.

Book: Call Me Irresistible by Susan Elizabeth Phillips Series: Wynette Texas Dates Read: Jan 11, 2019 Medium: Audiobook Overall Rating: 2 old fashion “good men”/5 I have this obsession with trying to find really good dirty explicit romance novels.  As such, I end up trying to find recommendations for just that and this is how I ended up with this book.  The recommendation was that “this isn’t your typical romance novel, but it’s a genuinely surprising” I feel like the person that wrote that must not […]

Book: One Dark Throne by Kendare Blake Series: One Dark Throne Medium: Audiobook Date Read: Jan 8-10, 2019 Overall Rating: 4 poison viles/5 I know that I go easy on YA’s rating wise but you know what, they are so fun, you want to read them,  and they keep you reading and this sequel is just that.  Excellent character development, continuation of an interesting plot, and people making terrible mistakes due to lack of communication.  Oh, teenagers, when will you learn? In the sequel to […]

Well, when you put it that way, I too am Afraid of Men

Book: I’m Afraid of Men by Vivek Shraya Series: N/A Medium: Audiobook  Dates Read: Jan 10, 2019 Overall Rating: 3.5/5 I had never read anything by this author before, but the author is actually from my hometown so this story had an interesting dynamic for me as I couldn’t say “this would never happen here where I live” cause it had, my home town, in schools and streets that I go on every day. I’m Afraid of Men has a provocative title and fun cover colours, […]

Implied beastiality aside, a good little fairy tale/sci fi/YA romp

Book: Winter by Marissa Meyers Series: Lunar Chronicles Medium: Audiobook Read From: Jan 05-08, 2019 Overall Rating: 3.5 wolf cubs out of 5 I had started the Lunar Chronical before Christmas break and finished the last in the original series (there is a prequel called Heartless I have yet to read) on the recommendation from my husband who listened to the audiobooks (which surprised because there are some pretty hilarious lovey-dovey romance bits that apparently jive with him. We’ve been together for over a decade and I was having […]

Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake

Book: Three Dark Crowns, Book 1 of Three Dark Crowns Series Medium: Book Dates Read: Jan 1-3, 2018 Overall Review (out of 5): 4 light-hearted fluff points out of 5   There isn’t a better way to start off a reading year than with some good old YA.  At least that’s what I find, as it’s always best to progress to more serious reading material as the year goes on then start there.  YA keeps you reading in the meantime. My 4/5 rating is not that this […]
