In a nutshell, this book is what I had hoped The Mortal Instruments series would have been, and as you know from my review of City of Bones, I was less than happy with the cliches, teenage drama, and terrible love triangle. I’m happy to report that literally NONE of that exists in The Raven Boys. Even though the characters are all high schoolers, and they do believable high school things, this was a mature plot with mature characters. It tackled big issues in comprehensive ways, and even though there […]
“I fight every day, and too many times it’s just not enough and the fear wins. I’m so fucking weak and everything is so fucking intense and sometimes I really hate it…”
Queens of Geek is a cute story about three friends attending a convention in California, SupaCon. The two girls narrate the story. Charlie is a YouTube celebrity and rising movie star. Her career is the reason they are there. She wants to do publicity for her movie and show her fans that she’s over her relationship with her ex-boyfriend, costar Reese. She starts to fall for a fellow YouTuber, Alyssa, and things get complicated when Reese shows up. Meanwhile, Taylor has anxiety and Asperger’s, so […]
OMG this was bad. Like bad, but I still wanted to read it bad.
Thank goodness I borrowed this ebook for free from the library. The last ebook I reviewed here (Sense and Insensibility), I paid about $4 for, and I would’ve paid double, because it was awesome. I just went to Amazon to get the link for this post, and saw that this is $7. I maybe maybe maybe would’ve paid a dollar, but absolutely no more than that. Anyway, like my title says, it was not a good book. However, I wanted to read it to the […]
Zoey’s Final Chapter
So this is book three of the Dominion Trilogy. I still don’t know why it’s called that. I liked the trilogy as a whole, and I liked this book too. It really did wrap up all of the story lines, and it wasn’t too much of a perfect happy ending. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a pretty happy ending, but there are still some things that make it a little more believable. I just read someone’s Amazon review of this book, and they kinda echoed […]
Right In the Feels, Every Time
This book destroys me every time. Everything about it so so achingly beautiful and also so vividly terrifying. It’s a thin and unassuming little book that turns on you about 3 pages in and I love it. Gaiman perfectly captures the reminiscing of childhood and the actual child perspective in the same story as our narrator remembers a terrible event that happens when he’s seven. But Gaiman makes a remarkable craft choice in that he writes most of the narrative from the seven year-old’s point […]
You can never go home again
This is book four in the Spires series but they are only very loosely connected and can be read in any order. This is my favorite of the series and actually one of my favorite romances ever, I’m not even sure why, but it connects with me on every level and it is just so stinking charming. From the Amazon description: Alfie Bell is . . . fine. He’s got a six-figure salary, a penthouse in Canary Wharf, the car he swore he’d buy when […]
