This was an excellent alien/human romance where it's illegal to even have a human on your ship, let alone at all. I liked how this turned out, and will definitely check out more by this author. 5 ⭐!

Started off strong but I eventually lost interest. The writing was good and the characters strong. I liked the story, but I think my mood shifted for something a little less action packed and more cozy. I'll reread this next year. Aisling and Brecc were good characters however. I'm definitely going to add this author to my list of likes. 4 ⭐

This was very good, but at the same time, it felt like it was missing something.

This tried really hard, but it just wasn't for me. Too clunky in regards to the writing, the pacing was weird and the Duke didn't much act like a duke. 2.5 ⭐

A fun, delightful and witty children's mystery story. Myrtle is just as clever as Enola Holmes.

A fun adventure and I liked Alec and Lucien a lot! A bit rushed, but otherwise a very good fantasy romance novel.

Actually more like 4.5, it was a little slow in the middle, but overall, I really loved this. Kianthe and Reyna are a believable couple and the villains are a bit over the top but I liked them too. The bookstore was cool, I wish it was real, and all the magic made it more interesting. Especially the dragons and unicorns. I'm definitely excited for the next book in the series!

This was good although I think I prefer the movie to the book. 3.5 ⭐ rounded up.

I can see why this won the man booker prize, but though the writing is brilliant I'm NOT in the right mindset for this at all. I finished it, but I will definitely need to go back and reread it. 4 ⭐

Drama, babies, and lots of high end action. Yes the romance was lightning fast insta love, but considering it's shifters, it's excused. I loved this. 5 ⭐

This was good, but a bit slow. I did enjoy many parts of it, and Doug was a believable character, and the action scenes were very good. I'm curious to see where this series goes. 4 ⭐

This was a fast read, I liked the characters and the plot was pretty good. RTC.

This was an interesting book. I think I'll need to reread it before going into the next book, but I'll save it for next year.

This was unexpected! I was unsure about this “virus sweeps across the land killing everyone” plot; been there, done that amiright?

But I was delightfully surprised by this. Granted some of the choices are a bit... questionable. And a little of it is outdated, but considering this came out in 1945 it's understandable and forgiven.

Ish and Em were believable characters, the plot while slow to start was rewarding at the end and overall, I quite look forward to the film being made for it next year.

4.5 ⭐ rounded up!

There was nothing wrong with this, exactly, I just didn't click with it. RTC.

It started off strong, but I'm just not in a sci-fi mood right now. The pacing was a bit odd, but the writing was good and I did like the characters. I've had this on my Netgalley for ages, and I finally got to pick it up. While the cover is good, and the storyline decent, this just wasn't the one for me. 3.5 ⭐

This had a lot of potential, but just didn't have the right execution. I wanted to like it, it has dragons a powerful girl wizard, and kids being badasses, but I feel I'd have liked this loads better as a teenager or preteen. I don't think I was the right target audience for this one, but it was a fun read. 2.5 ⭐ rounded up.

Why did no one warn me about the ending? I'm glad I had foresight to snag book two from the library!

The first half caught my attention and I put it down and after that I just haven't picked it back up. This has been done numerous times and while the writing is very beautiful, I just wasn't the target audience for this one. I read about sixty percent before dnf'ing. 4 ⭐.

It started off strong, but towards midway, I just did not care and was glad to finish it. My apologies to the author, but I may try this one again in the future when I'm more in the mood. 3.5 ⭐

I have questions.

I like that this was about Schrodinger's cat, and figuring out what happened to the cat, but it was too short! 4.5 ⭐ rounded up.

It tried really hard, but just didn't grab me. I liked the premise and the characters tho. 3.5 ⭐

Started off strong, but about halfway I grew bored and the ending was nice. This is a gay romance of a young gay professor moving to a small town and stumbling across the man of his dreams while rescuing a dog he accidentally hit during a snowstorm. This was very good. 3 and a half ⭐ rounded up.

A good instruction manual for beginners with a catchy title. 3.5 ⭐
