Book 287 for the year! 4/5 stars for this adult mystery read! Love the cover! Narration actually has 3 POVs which was fun! I thought this book was going to be a pretty standard mystery, but then.....the twists! Ugh! So good! Definitely recommend!

Book 289 for the year! 4/5 stars for this YA Fantasy! Love the cover! It seemed like a quick read for a YA Fantasy for sure! Good story, great villain! Narration wasn't my favorite, but still enjoyable! Definitely give it a shot if you want a standalone retelling!

Book 282 for the year. 2/5 stars for this Gothic read. I love the cover, and it's set in a school, so I thought it would be up my alley. I was very wrong. In my opinion it's way too long. There were aspects that were creepy or interesting, but they never felt flushed out. It was a whole lot of words for nothing much happening plot wise. Can't say I'd recommend this one, even if you like weird books.

Book 12 towards my goal of 240! 3/5 stars for this YA Fantasy read. Loved the cover! Loved the premise of the story, but felt like it was a bit long. Narration was good. Can't say I'd recommend it. Also don't think I'll continue with book 2.

Book 14 towards my goal of 240! 4/5 stars for this hard hitting YA Contemporary. This story focuses on a girl who became a symbol of surviving 9/11 when a photo is published with her as a baby the day the towers fell. It discusses survivor stories, as well as loss. Abby doesn't want to be known as "Baby Hope" anymore, she just wants to be Abby. She also has a secret of her own she's hiding. Love the cover. Good story with his characters. Loved the dual narration.

Book 290 for the year! 4/5 for this YA Contemporary Romance! The main character for this one definitely has some self esteem, anxiety, and body image issues. This would be a fun summer read! Set in Australia. Fun friend group story. Not my favorite cover, but it did match the story. Narration was great!

Book 275 towards my goal of 280! 3/5 stars for this Holiday Romance read. I'm pretty sure it has been made into a Hallmark movie, but if not, it should be ð It was a cute story, but I think after the last romance book I read it just wasn't quite steamy enough! If you're looking for a Hallmark Christmas movie in book format, check it out! Narration is good too!

5/5 stars for this Historical Fantasy! What do you get when you cross Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane, the Pistol Prince, Annie Oakley.......and werewolves? Add a lot of comedy, fourth wall breaks, and sayings/pop culture references and you get My Calamity Jane! Love the cover, the characters, and the narration!

Book 9 towards my goal of 240! 5/5 stars for this Regency Romance! This book follows Benedict Bridgerton. I would absolutely call this one a Cinderella retelling! So good! Love these characters more and more with each book! I love that the main characters in other books show up as side characters in others. Loving this series so far! Excited for the next one! Highly recommend!
