Ow, Todd?
This book had me like… And then… And then… You know what part. If you’ve read it, you know exactly what part that one is for, and that’s all I’m going to say about that. I don’t even know what to say about this book. It is everything I’m not usually into: there are fantasy elements, long journeys through rough terrain, a boy and his dog – fine stuff, but totally not my thing. It somehow wound up on my Goodreads to-read list, and I […]
I’m just going to leave these links right here…
I’ve been really anxious and sad when I think of all the great book series (Is there a plural of that? Serieses?) that I started and never completed, all the many stories that I hoped to pick up again and left off after a second, third, fourth book was published. The struggle is real. At the end of last year, I decided to complete one of them: Marissa Meyer’s Lunar Chronicles. I previously read and enjoyed Cinder and Scarlet, then dropped the ball on Cress. […]

I hate you, but I kinda understand you… Now let me go back home
Rating: 3.5/5 Summary: Gemma Toombs is a sixteen year old with wealthy parents who like the travel. While in Bangkok airport, Gemma meets Ty who at first glance seems oddly familiar. Ty kidnaps Gemma and takes her to the middle of nowhere in one of Australia’s deserts. Gemma launches multiple escape attempts, but she can’t ever seem to escape Ty and his desert home. I think what most surprised me about this book was how much I actually enjoyed it. I picked up this […]
“Girls were meant to paint screens, sob out ballads, and play the pianoforte, not see through the masks of polite society…”
The Dark Days Club combines regency era manners with supernatural action. Lady Helen starts the book preparing to be presented to the Queen, start her season, and marry well. She never suspects that soon she will be training to fight demons and save innocent souls. Soon, she is bending the rules of the time and risking the ruin of her reputation. It’s pretty good (Even though it is very exposition-heavy), and I’m interested in seeing where the series goes next. You can read my review […]
