After a less than stellar start to my reading year, I became a reading machine in February. I really enjoyed most of the books I read this month which definitely made up for January!
It's
really hard for me to review this book. I liked learning about Chris
and his life and once I was done reading and reflected back on it, I
really did like it. I liked that the author included his opinions about
Chris's life and thoughts, mostly because he was telling the truth -
Chris was naive and unprepared. But I don't think the author was
tactless about it. The author also clearly educated himself about Chris
and about the Alaskan Wilderness. My issue while reading this book was
that I have a hard time with non-fiction. This book read more like a
text book than a story which is hard for me. As hard is it could be to
get through, I'm really glad I read it. It was very educational and
insightful. This is definitely a book I'd recommend to anyone.
I gave this book a 4/5 on my GoodReads.
Love,
Love Love! I'm not a religious person and don't usually read books
that involve religion, but I made an exception for this book because I
really liked the movie. Luckily for me, the religious aspect was very
subtle and I really enjoyed the book. I loved all of the characters and
found myself cheering Elizabeth on, laughing at her mishaps, and loving
what a Gentleman Wynn is. This was a sweet, light, and easy read - I
read most of it in one sitting. I would definitely recommend this book
to anyone who loves historical fiction or an adorable romance. I really want to read the rest of the series but they're really hard to find :(
I gave this book a 5/5 on my GoodReads.
I'm
not going to lie, I was really reluctant to read this book because I
liked the way the first one ended - but my curiosity won. I ended up
really liking this book and being really glad that Ginny's journey
continued. I really loved the travel aspect of this book as well as all
of the colorful characters that Ginny meets throughout her travels. I
was worried that this book would take away from or over-complicate the
plot from the first book (because lets face it, a lot of sequels do) but
I don't feel like it did. Now, if there were to be a third book, I
probably wouldn't read it because I was completely satisfied with the
ending of this book. This book was fun and quirky and I would definitely
recommend it (and the first book) to anyone, especially if you love
travel.
I gave this book a 4/5 on my GoodReads.
I'm
going to start this by saying that I am not a huge fan of James
Patterson, like at all. However, my Mom loves his books and told me I
would really like this one. She knows my taste so I trusted her and I'm
glad I did. Although at times I felt like I was re-reading The Fault
in Our Stars, I still really enjoyed the story and the adventures that
Axi and Robinson went on. This is by no means a masterpiece but it was a
quick and easy read; I read it in one evening. It is definitely a tear
jerker but if you're OK with that then I would definitely recommend
this book.
I gave this book a 3/5 on my GoodReads.
Wow,
this book sure made me feel glad high school is over. Luckily my high
school wasn't like this and we never had anything like this go on, but
still. I really liked how she broke the book up into chapters by
person so that we could see the reactions and effects of the list as
they were felt by each person. I also liked that when we find out who
made the list, she gives her reasons for choosing each person - and they
sort of make sense. By having so many different voices, it really
broke the book up well - my only issue was that there were some
characters I really wanted to know more about. Overall, I really
enjoyed this book and I'd recommend it to anyone who doesn't mind
reading about high school.
I gave this book a 4/5 on my GoodReads.
I
picked up this book randomly at Barnes and Noble; I'd never heard of
the book or the author. Major win for my randomness because I loved
this book. I loved the main characters and I loved that Sam and Jase
were fairly mature for their age so there was really no stupid teenage
drama. I also liked that they were both very realistic characters and
that we slowly got to know them and the rest of the characters; it felt
very natural. Another thing I really liked that I find lacking in a lot
of books was the emphasis on family, especially in the Garrett
household. I really loved everything about this book and could not
recommend it enough.
I gave this book a 4/5 on my GoodReads.
