Trippy

Good collection of short stories. This one from the POV of a sentient ship (named Asha, way to go!!!) carrying humanity to a distant as of yet unfound planet. This one made me think back when teenage me used to ask the age old question of what becomes of us when our sun dies? I liked this are a LOT! The ending though oooohhh!

Pretty good. I loved that there were stories for all age groups. The last one was a bit slow because I haven't experienced that yet. The first four, especially the first one about jobs and cooking for yourself were lovely.

Good good good!
I jumped at the audiobook when I saw it had 3 narrators! For the 3 characters! There were so many Slavic folklore elements in it. It was easy to guess what Dymitr wanted from a certain someone, but the way it played out was so cool. The bonus

What would you do if you were invisible?

Oh God I finally finished this. The only saving grace of this book was the sprinkling of Jude and Cardan being murderous together every few chapters. I could not, for the love of God, come to care for Oak or Wren in this. And I liked the first book but thissss?!? It was soooo convoluted for 200 pages and then took off in the last part.
Please at this point just give me another Jude and Cardan book!

3.5 stars
It was okay. I'm just trying out more books by the author. The characters were good but oh God the plot

Loved this volume. Fucking finally!!! Thank you!!!

4.5 stars!
This was very good. The ending broke me. But throughout the whole book I was so happy that Victor was ace. And that's it. No long ass discussions, no nothing, no changing his mind.
Rambo reminded me of Chauncey from Cerulean Sea ✨ Nurse Ratched was sooo cool

Hate read with bestie

4.5 stars! Loved this!

Super fun! I'm so glad I gave this author another try. 
Consent is sexy! Especially when that consent is asked for before even touching/holding hands with someone. I loved how the characters were so aware of their and each other's boundaries and never crossed it.
My favourite was the cat

4.5✨

This was amazing! Found family vibes off the charts! The characters were all so fun. The triggering stuff (while limited) was worse than I had been told

Same old plot line again

Woooo this was such a good book. Loved the concept and the execution! And I liked so many characters.

80% of this was angst

OMFG

Jesus Christ! Trigger warnings for the ending, and the middle and what kind of fucked up story was that. It was engrossing but I did not see the ending coming.

Another good one.

Okay this whole series is a giant brain fuck. Making you question your existence and purpose. Good job on the existential crisis, guys.

This was really good and nice and had sooooo much consent. It was a dream come true. Hades the consent king

The married adventures of ART and Murderbot

-1 stars

This was a fucking piece of shit. Only good thing was that I didn't have to read a sex on the chessboard scene.

No coherent thoughts, only curses for this book.

There was dubious consent and many vaguely insulting things. Learn to do fucking research (the chess moves for the Polgar vs Anand game were wrong even though it's available on a simple Google search), stop trying to appeal to the tiktok masses.

Stabbing this book like it's Julius Caesar.

3.5 ✨

Starting off by saying this book was very fast paced. I flew through it. Happy it didn't drag.

Now onto my main gripe - my aroace ass did not like the constant horny thoughts. The sex scenes were baaaaaad and I've read everything Ali Hazelwood has thrown at me. This was bad, bad. 

I did like the storyline. Loved the sassy dragons. Loved the banter with the dragons. No one told me that was gonna be so much fun. Also liked how Violet had a chronic condition for a main character that did not get magically cured.

Fun cliffhanger ending!

PS. My friend and I nicknamed this as ‘the horny book.

P.P.S. THERE'S GOING TO BE 5 OF THESE??? (overkill)

Murder mystery

Good short story. Love when authors can write a fully formed, tangible, emotional story in the span of a few pages.

Bought this completely on a whim - the cover was pretty and it was cheap for a hardcover. Best decision ever!

The story was sooo eerie. Effy was such a contradictory narrator that you couldn't tell if she was fulfilling the role of an unreliable narrator or not. I was questioning my sanity with her lol. 5 stars to Preston for not being an asshole and for being a softy.

The writing was amazing! The story inside the story was amazing. The little epigraph snippets from the in-book authors were amazing. I marked so many quotes I loved.
Going back to read the previous two works by the author.

This had such an interesting premise with the nightmares. I like ruthless girls
