“Now, it’s finally time to reveal some secrets.”

Secret History (Mistborn, #3.5) by Brandon Sanderson

30 Books in 30 Days, Vol. 2 Book 29/30 I liked this even better this time. But Sanderson is right that it’s disjointed so I can’t give it five stars. I teared up a little though! I don’t actually have much to say about this, now that it comes time to write the review. It’s hard to talk about any of it without spoiling way too much for this entire series, including major stuff from both the first and second Mistborn series. It’s definitely best […]

Allergic to an audiobook.

Fevered Star (Between Earth and Sky, #2) by Rebecca Roanhorse

30 Books in 30 Days, Vol. 2 Book 26/30 I’m sad that I’m rating this three stars, but it’s representative of my experience listening to the audiobook. If/when I re-read, I think I will like it better. Also, when I see where the story is going in book three. Sad face. My biggest takeaway from this book is that I found it extremely difficult to make everything that was happening cohere into a story in my mind. Everything felt so disconnected, and so I was […]

A witch and a witch-hunter, sitting in a tree . . .

Boss Witch (Fix-It Witches, #2) by Ann Aguirre

30 Books in 30 Days, Vol. 2 Book 21/30 Thanks to NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for the audio ARC. It hasn’t affected the content of my review. I liked this better than the first one! By quite a bit. The romance was very nice. I liked both Clem and Gavin, and thought they had lovely chemistry. The book really took off though when the non-romantic plot got going. I’m glad to say that the fact that Gavin is a witch hunter is not wasted, at […]

30 Books in 30 Days, Vol. 2 Book 17/30 Yessss, I am still catching up on reviews from books I read in April. My goal is to be caught up by the end of June; we’ll see if I can do it, especially since in July I’m going to try and read the most amount of books I’ve ever read in a month (31!). It is going to be a Project.* *I am attempting to do this feat because I want to see if I […]

“Maybe she is reaching out because she has sent another man to his grave prematurely. Or maybe she wants to know if I can buy eggs on the way home. Either way, I’m not picking up.”

My Sister, The Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite

30 Books in 30 Days, Vol. 2 Book 15/30 Objectively, this should be getting a higher rating, but I found it rather agonizing to listen to, just because of personal preference. It’s actually really smart and really well done, and I think it accomplishes exactly what it’s trying to do. I should have figured this might happen, though. Satires are love them or hate them for me. And, really, I didn’t hate this! I just sort of hated listening to it. It made me feel […]

My first Grady Hendrix book, won’t be my last!

The Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix

30 Books in 30 Days, Vol. 2 Book 13/30 I was discombobulated for most of listening to this book. But I was interested the whole way through, and nothing about it felt lazy or half-done, like a certain other author’s work did for me. I should probably state up front that I am not at all a fan of slasher movies. In fact, I quite dislike them in general because I find them incredibly stressful and not cathartic in any way (although I have seen […]
