When in Rome by Sarah Adams
5.0
Love, love, LOVED this book. It fulfilled my love for hallmark movies but in book form. I found myself falling in love with all the characters and it left me wanting more.
Well done!

Reminders of Him by Colleen Hoover
4.0
Maybe 4 1/2.
I love a book that makes me feel things, and boy did this one take the cake! By the end of the book I had a hard time reading through watery eyes. This book would have had a solid 5 stars however minus 1/2 because of there were just soooooo of sex scenes, which doesn’t bother me except it seemed to be over and over again and I just wanted to know more about how things play out with Grace and Patrick and Kenna and Diem.

Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros

This was my first time reading a book written by Rebecca Yarros and it won’t be my last. The Fourth Wing was a good book, not great. I still enjoyed reading it and I’m looking forward to Iron Flame next.

Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros
Did not finish book. Stopped at 29%.

I will likely pick this one up again before the third book comes out. It’s just such a slow read. I’d rather spend my time reading something more enjoyable right now.
Intersect by Elizabeth O'Roark, Elle O'Roark
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Parallel is my favorite of the two, but I still very much enjoyed listening to the audible version of Intersect.
The pacing was a little slower through the middle of the book, but the story was just so brilliant and beautifully written. Elizabeth O’Roark does it again.
