Mini-Reviews: Pride, & From Twinkle, With Love!

I really think this book being so short did not do it any favors. I really wanted so much more from this. Everything felt really fast and kind of forced. I had such a hard time with Zuri. She's kind of unlikable and she's more judgmental than anyone. It's her thing.. that people judge them …

Mini-Reviews: The Dating Plan, With the Fire on High, & Amari and the Night Brothers!

I had a lot of hopes for this book and it kind of disappointed me. There are a lot of cute things about this story and I did enjoy most of my time with it. It was a really fast read but I think there was a bit of substance missing. I would have liked …

Audio Mini-Reviews: The Truths We Hold, Greenlights, I Want to Be Where the Normal People Are!

I have to say that this was very enlightening and I think I like her a lot more than I did. She does so much for immigrants and lower income families. I did think that she just read straight from the book but that's okay. I really liked getting to know her better and what …

Mini-Reviews: My Calamity Jane by Hand and Layla by Colleen Hoover

“For the boat rockers, the rulebreakers, and the troublemakers. No one ever became a legend by blending in.” I had been putting this one off for so long. I will admit that because it was more of a western had me hesitant to pick it up. Thankfully, Whitney @ WhitReadsLit suggested a buddy read and …

Mini-Reviews: Fangirl vol. 1, Running out of Time, Stage Dreams, & Twenty-one Truths about Love.

This was a recommendation to fill out a challenge prompt. This is my first book by Haddix and it was a really quick read. It is intended for a much younger audience and it's apparent. It was quite simplistic in plot and character development but I did enjoy my time with it. I was really …

Mini-Reviews: The Last Story of Mina Lee & The Unraveling of Cassidy Holmes

It's been a few weeks since I've finished this one. I have dropped my rating from 3.5 to 3 stars. This one was just an okay read for me. I loved Mina's story 100% more than Margot's. I actually found myself quite annoyed with Margot several times. The amount of times she talks about how …

Mini-Reviews: Recent Audiobooks!

I'm so grateful that I've been able to do audiobooks lately. I'm still only able to do memoirs but it's helped me with this slump! I really enjoyed listening to this one! I saw someone post about this and it sounded great. I had no idea that these ladies had a podcast!! I loved how …

Title: The Vanishing Half Author: Brit Bennett Publisher: Riverhead Books Published: June 2, 2020 Pages: 343 Format: Hardcover, BoTM I bought this because so many people were raving about it.

Title: Red, White & Royal Blue Author: Casey McQuiston Publisher: St. Martin's Griffin Published: May 14, 2019 Pages: 421 Format: Library e-book I am so sad. I wanted to love this but I just thought it was okay. I was on the fence for SO long because I didn't know if I would like all …
