This is a re-read, and my original review for this book can be found here. As with the other Milans I’ve been revisiting, I wanted to listen to this in audio, but discovered, to my dismay that it wasn’t narrated by Polly Lee, who did the first two books in The Turner series, but Nicole Quinn, whose voice just did NOT work for me. I tried to warm to her throughout the first chapter, but gave up and returned the audio. Unraveled is my favourite book in this trilogy […]
This affected me so much more this time around
This is my first re-read of this book. My original review can be found here. With the other two books in The Turners series, I have re-read the books more than once over the years. I read Unclaimed back in 2011 and haven’t revisited it since. Until now. While I would still rank it as the weakest of the three books in the trilogy, that is only really because one of the books has to come in third place. In my memory, Mark and Jessica’s story wasn’t as engrossing and […]
Liked it better the first time I read it
3.5 stars I read this book for the first time back in October 2012. My review from back then can be found here. Back then, I rated the book 4 stars and from my write-up, I really appeared to enjoy it. The first Cannonball Read Book Club of the year was a discussion of this book, since the star-studded movie version, directed by Ava DuVernay will be in cinemas any day now. From the trailers and promotional material, the movie looks like it’s going to be visually stunning, […]
“Night wasn’t so much falling as sharpening its claws.”
As with almost every book in this series, I liked it better this time. I’ve said this before, but there are advantages to reading the hard copies of the books, as much as I love the audio versions with James Marsters. And one of those advantages is it just takes so much less time to read a physical book, and stuff that you’re not enjoying either goes faster or you can skip it outright. I remember when I read this book the first time it […]
Revisiting an old favourite
4.5 stars A long time ago now, back in April 2011, I first discovered Courtney Milan as an author, having read favourable things about her on various romance review blogs. My original review of this book, can be found here. Fondly as I remember Ash and Margaret’s story, this is not the Turner series book I’ve revisited most often. According to my records, I’ve only re-read it once before, back in 2012, so I was very interested to see if it was as good as I remembered. I […]
Comfort re-reading while I keep my tiny human alive
This is my fourth re-read of The Hating Game, and my original review for the book can be found here. Also this book will contain mild spoilers for the story, so if you haven’t read it, drop everything and come back once you have (it’s awesome, I promise), you may want to avoid this until then. It’s difficult for me to pinpoint exactly what I find so comforting about this book, but it really does work for me on every level. This was my favourite book of […]
