Tale of the Heart Queen by Nisha J. Tuli
3.5
Happy to finally have read the conclusion to this series! I wish I hadn’t taken quite so much time off between reading books as there was so much I’ve forgotten, but I was satisfied with the conclusion for Lor and Nadir.
A lot of this book felt a bit like filler plot lines, and I didn’t love the choices made around editing, as it was quite long. But it’s a series I treasure and would definitely re-read one day. 💕

Thank you to NetGalley and forever pub for the arc which I am belatedly finishing!

I really enjoyed Say You’ll Remember Me. Abby has such a classic way of weaving serious topics into heartfelt romances. I enjoyed switching between the audio (both narrators were fantastic) and ebook.
True to form, I cried twice in the book haha, but it wasn’t my favourite of Abby’s and I found I didn’t connect as much to Sam and Xavier as some other past characters.
Still recommend 💕

The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
4.0
The midnight library has been on my tbr for ages, so I’m happy I finally picked it up. I listened on audio and thought the narrator did a good job.
I’ve read and watched similar concepts to the midnight library, so I think it met those expectations I had but I wasn’t blown away by the concept or execution. I found the middle a little boring / a bit long, and I kind of guessed the ending or where the story was going.
I appreciated the very real mental health themes and would encourage checking out the TWs prior to reading as it’s a touch of a heavy book, but I think overall relatable. Who doesn’t think about the road not taken and wonder sometimes.

Reckless by Lauren Roberts

This book was yummy and high on the enjoyment vibes! So many lovely tropes all in one - cat and mouse, enemies to lovers, touch her and die, one bed, one horse, etc to name a few.
I expected or at least wasn’t shocked by the ending and can’t wait for the next book!

Damn haha what an unexpected book!!! I was absolutely enthralled by the story and smut the first half and couldn’t put the book down.
While I still super loved the second half, I got a bit of emotional whiplash from Tems emotions and her general personality. Not my fav FMC haha, so knocking off a star for her 😂. Absolutely can’t wait to find out what happens next though and that extra challengers chapter left me breathless 🥵

Fun middle grade graphic novel. Great overall message that not everyone fits into perfect packages and what’s expected of them. Look forward to continuing Asters story!

I really wanted to love, Love at First Sight because of the unique premise and autism character representation, but I had difficulty ever really getting into the story. This could be for a variety of reasons including my own mood, reading-burnout and sadly the line spacing as I received an arc to review.
Pippa was an interesting and joyful character and I loved the chaos, bluntness and humour her character provided. I love autism representation as I have wondered myself sometimes if I’m on the spectrum. Her character was done very well as the author herself is autistic. Andrew was a total cinnamon roll and I loved their relationship.
The book has some of my fav tropes (fake dating, forced proximity, one bed), but despite everything lining up for it to be my perfect romance, for me unfortunately it fell a little flat. Still overall 3 stars.

The Magic Fish by Trung Le Nguyen
4.5
The Magic Fish was a beautiful story of an immigrant mother and son with language barriers.
The artistry was stunning in the drawing/ illustrations.
I LOVED the Vietnamese spin on popular fairytales like Cinderella and the Little Mermaid.
Also loved that it was the mother and son’s story interweaved with the fairy tales from the book they were reading.
