Twilight: The Summer of my discontent
Twilight has rapidly become a June/July tradition. I'm often filled with the feeling that I should be doing more in summer, be happier, live life, plan outings. Binge watching the Twilight movies has given me some reprieve from the feeling for the past two years.
Blood Over Bright Haven
This book is the kind of fantasy I want to consume more of at this stage of my life. It felt grown up and original. It was completely innovative way to think about magic. I don't want this to be a series, but if there was a different story in this universe I'd be happy to stay in there for a while.
Eclipse
Oh brother this guy stinks! Man oh man. I was always Team Jacob, boy howdy what a walking red flag of a young man. It almost feels like a heel turn because people liked Jacob more, but I know that's not the case. Yikes.
Slewfoot
I felt such rage reading this one. It honestly built up a world really well but I feel like the resolution fizzled a bit. I think this one might play better as an audiobook. I took a lot of breaks while reading, sometimes for weeks and I think the story suffered because of it.
Ella Minnow Pea
I listened to this one on audibook and think that I need to read it on paper to see the losing of letters. Regardless the point came across and it's such an amazing idea and clearly speaks to the need for Freedom of Speech.
We'll Prescribe You a Cat
This book was so fun and healing. A quirky way to tell a story and really consumable with the interwoven bite sized stories.
Witchstone
I'mma sound like a misandrist but I could tell a man wrote this book. There was just something about it that made me feel like the whole story would be different from a female perspective. Not better, just different. I absolutely loved this book and the story seemed really unique to me.
Bride
People had made some comments that had me worried this book would give me the ick. My fears were unfounded and this book was a fun refreshing read!
Atmosphere
I loved this so much, I can't give much of a review without spoiling the book. Just read it.
A Heart for Christmas
This is possibly the worst book I have ever forced myself to finish. I hated it, the characters were bad, the translation clearly sucked. So stupid.
