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: The Best We Could Do & Sandman Vol. 1,

This graphic novel was so beautiful. It was heart breaking, emotional, inspirational and moving. This is a story that will stick with me for such a long time.

Mini Reviews: Sea of Monsters, & Wishful Drinking

I remember watching this movie and thinking it was absolutely terrible. It was part of the reason it took me so long to read the books. I should have known better. This was so good. I loved Tyson so much. There was a lot of action in this book and I never found myself bored. …
