Great Wars A Anthology, 2022 by Lost Boys Press, 272 Pages What I Didn’t Like: As always with anthologies, it’s worth mentioning that not all the stories are things you’ll love. Of course, that’s also the beauty of anthologies. You may find that gem that you adore. I didn’t love all of these, that’s why... Continue Reading →
The Alice Network by Kate Quinn A Historical Fiction, 2017 by William Morrow, 503 Pages What I Didn’t Like: Charlie’s chapters. They felt almost repetitive and unnecessarily fluffy. I suppose they exist mostly to break up the heaviness of the topics addressed in the rest of the book, which is important, but they just don’t... Continue Reading →
She Named Me Wolf by Tenkara Smart YA Fantasy, Independently Published in 2020, 336 Pages What I Didn’t Like: Content Warning: abuse, suicidal thoughts, violence. Very tough to read. Time jumps made this a complicated timeline to follow. Sometimes the events we follow seem unnecessary and I wondered what they added to the story. I was frustrated... Continue Reading →
Dry by Neal and Jarrod Shusterman YA Science Fiction, 2018 by Simon and Shuster, 390 Pages What I Didn’t Like: This book is a close to future dystopia, in other words it’s something that absolutely could happen to our society in our lifetime. That alone makes it a little hard to read. Of course, that... Continue Reading →
Verity by Colleen Hoover A Mystery/Thriller, 2018 by Grand Central Publishing, 336 Pages What I Didn’t Like: Content warning, in case you need it. This one contains lots of sexual language, violence, violence against children and death. Also if you, in general, don’t like unreliable narrators you’ll probably not be a fan of this book. The...

Hammer My Heart by Michelle Angelle A Romance, 2022 by Michelle Angelle Books,266 Pages What I Didn’t Like: Perfect characters. I know it’s a typical romance thing and you guys eye roll at me everytime I list it as a negative thing, but it bothers me. These two main characters are both beautiful people with...

Daughter of the Burning City by Amanda Foody YA Fantasy, 2017 by Harlequin Teen, 384 Pages What I Didn’t Like: There are quite a few characters to keep track of. If you are someone who struggles with details or names of characters if there are too many this could be a challenge. I did see one... Continue Reading →
D’Vaughn and Kris Plan a Wedding by Chencia C Higgins A Romance, 2022 by Carina Adores, 336 Pages What I Didn’t Like: As often is the case in romance a ton of “issues” could be solved quicker by simply TALKING TO EACH OTHER (although props to the author for pointing that out). Everyone is basically perfect.... Continue Reading →
A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess A Science Fiction, 1962 by William Heinemann LLC, 213 Pages What I Didn’t Like: The slang takes some getting used to. My advice if you’re struggling? Check out the audiobook at least until you get a grip on the voice. The narrator does a great job of using inflection... Continue Reading →
Revenge of Queen Rose by Valinora Troy MG Fantasy, 2022 by Disresponsible Nodpots, 234 Pages What I Didn’t Like: Some slower parts. Nothing extreme, but there are parts that move slower than others. Paul’s chapters. They’re not particularly my favorite, although they throw back to the first book. I probably could’ve done without his portions altogether. Not... Continue Reading →
