To put it lightly, I'm having a crap reading year. I just haven't had time or focus. So, I decided to do reviews a few months at a time rather than once a month.
I loved this book and I can't wait to finish the series! My favorite part of this book was definitely the characters - mostly Lila. There are very few female characters like her. I also really love the world (or worlds, I guess) that the author is building. I've never read anything quite like this before, and I highly recommend this book.
I gave this book 4/5 on
GoodReads
To be honest, the whole time I was reading this, I was picturing the old guy from UP. I loved reading Ove's story getting to know the man behind the curmudgeon exterior. Its a great story about how different life events shape us over the years. I also loved meeting all of the quirky people that came into Ove's life. The characters are what really makes this book great. I highly recommend this book to anyone.

This was one of those books I just did not want to put down! I really love how to book is done - you kind of know what happens because the book begins with a raid on Clara's home. However, the switching between "now" and "then" really helps the reader understand Clara and get a better look at her life and her situation. This book was a bit hard to read at times and a bit disturbing, but a powerful look into the horrors of human trafficking. I'd recommend this book to anyone looking for a good and different thriller.

These books are typical teen romance Twilighty types of books. However, the writing is better and the characters are so much better. Katy can be a bit annoying but isn't as much as a pushover as Bella and Dee is the kind of friend everyone wants to have. I also like the idea of Aliens better than vampires. This series is not super fantastic or anything but it's enjoyable enough for me to keep reading. I liked the second book better than the first, so I hope the series keeps getting better.
I was a bit let down by this book. I decided to borrow this book because I read that it was "13 Little Blue Envelopes" meets "Gilmore Girls", but I totally didn't get that from this book at all. The main character was a complete spoiled brat and I found her to be totally annoying though the whole book. I did enjoy the supporting characters and the traveling, which I think is what saved the book for me. I wouldn't pick this up if you're looking for something great, but it was fine to pass the time.
This isn't my normal kind of book but it was enjoyable enough. It was a slow burn romance - emphasis on SLOW. It was about 150 pages longer than it really needed to be, so some parts were a bit boring and it got a little repetitive at times. I found it hard to get through until about halfway through, then it got more enjoyable and not quite so monologue-ish. It was an OK book but I wouldn't recommend it unless romance is your thing.
I gave this book a 3/5 on my
GoodReads.
Everyone raves about this book but I really don't get the big deal. I feel like this book was trying to do and be too much all at once - I felt like I was getting whiplash reading it. I didn't really like any of the characters and I feel like the ending was rushed. I gave this book 3 stars because I thought it started out pretty good. I just feel like there was a lot of potential for this story but I'm not thrilled with the direction it went.
I gave this book a 3/5 on my
