Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke
I don’t think I would’ve read this book if it weren’t for my mom and her friends, though it was I who suggested this book (after seeing this YouTube video discuss it) for our newly-formed book club.
The goal of this review is for me to understand my own thoughts of this book and the…
Once, Again, Always by Amanda Gayle (ARC)
Once upon a time, I read this on AO3, back when it was a Dramione fanfiction. Now I get the pleasure of rereading it before it becomes traditionally published.
Now that I have read it, I have the feeling that it is even better than the original fanfic.
The backbone of any fanfiction is that…
Until Next Summer by Allison Ashley (ARC)
Blah, blah, blah…summer on the ocean…working with a childhood crush…hanging out with the new guy in town…
Whatever. This book is a whole whatever. Not that it’s necessarily bad, but it’s not the type of young-adult story I like. For the most part, I think it’s missing something compelling in order to keep me interested.
Dear Humans by Hollie Adams (ARC)
As a whole, I enjoyed this collection of emotional and raw short stories.
I don’t know if it’s just because it was the last one in the set, but of the 13 short stories, I enjoyed “How to Survive.” By far, it is one of the most intriguing of the bunch.
Anyone but You
“Anyone but You,” a movie said to revive the popularity of rom-coms, craftily remixes William Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing with a summery, modern twist.
The Batman
Everyone’s favorite caped crusader appears in yet another blockbuster. Reception seems positive, but is it warranted?
War Hour by Lauren Loscig (ARC)
Here’s the thing.
I’ve read better, and I’ve read worse. I’ve read plenty of bad indie books to know what is bad. This is by far one of the better ones.
At first, I didn’t think War Hour was so bad. It had a plot, characters, and funny bits of dialogue. That’s all I could…
Wren and The Tarnished Tiger by E. M. Leander
Although, I did enjoy the fast pace. Conflict after conflict happens, sometimes feeling like whiplash, but allowing the reader to wonder “what is next?”. The type of eagerness that keeps readers engaged, so much so that I almost read the whole book in one sitting.
Supernatural
You know the shows that are so bad they’re good? Supernatural fits in that category.
