Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
3.0
3.5⭐
Well... :) I finally started the TOG series.
I first read ACOTAR, so unintentionally I did expect the same writing style and character development.
Of course, Sarah did wright the book when she was a teen herself so I do understand the difference and won`t comment on that a lot, but Sarah ... you spoiled me :)
It took me a while to get started with the reading but as the story went on I flew through the second part of the book. The plot twist was something I predicted and was not surprised by it but the story was so well set and opened a new set of questions to be answered. I didn't quite get the chemistry between the love interest but by now we all know who are we waiting for :) sooo that was probably putting me off. I wish I had a chance to read it when the books were coming out...there are a lot of spoilers looming through the internet
Celena's character is presented as a strong independent girl, with a bit of teenage angst but I believe we will see her growth through the further storyline.
Dorian - cute, charmboy and he knows it, quite direct at what he wants. I didn`t care a lot for him but he seemed nice :)
Chaol, on the other hand, I did like. I hope we will get his backstory and see him opening up to others. He is quite a mystery.
Now I will hop on to the next book! See ya there :)

All Rhodes Lead Here by Mariana Zapata
4.0
I loved it! I really feel that I got to know Aurora and Rhodes and loved the relationship. The only thing why this isn`t a 5-star read is because of the slowburn. Don`t get me wrong, my favorite trope is slowburn, those are the best reads but this was just a little bit too slow.
Savage Bonds by J. Bree

I really like the bone structure of the plot idea that this series has.
I just didn't enjoy the energy of the main charater Olie. It was nice quick read but I will not continue reading the rest of the books.

Full Tilt by Emma Scott

Beautiful cover, beautiful book...
I usually love to dive into a book blindly, with as few details as possible. and with this book, it was an end of me.
I am choked on words, even as I'm writing that I have no words for this book I`m on the edge of tears.
Nothing can describe the beautiful connection between two souls that found themselves in each other... and all they have are moments, special moments, thousands of them.
I have to recommend listening to it as an audiobook. Nelson Hobb and Caitlin Kelly did an amazing job!

Beach Read by Emily Henry
5.0
I loved this book!
This is the second book from Emily Henry that I have read and only because it was this month's read from the book club. The previous one I didn`t like that much but I loved this one! I got a love story full of heartwarming, angry, heart-crushing, joyful, forgiving moments.
The story of getting out of your comfort zone and having a new point of perspective on some parts of our life was beautifully put together, the dare was a nice way of making it happen. The writing was so nice and enhanced the real natural flow of the story, you just have to keep reading. Stopping was not an option :)
As for January and Gus, I loved the banter between the two of them from the first pages, the chemistry between them was adorable. And the ending was so cute, you will finish this book with a smile and your heart full. Two people growing and healing together, they were opposite sides of life perspectives, one of them being the optimist and the other pessimist. It felt as if Gus`s storyline was better told, it had a veil of mystery that made it more interesting, and you have to admit... man written by women and is a writer, of course, he will say all the right things
If you haven`t read this book by now, this is your sign to do so!

Breaking the Friendzone by May Lynn
4.0
I received an eARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest opinion.
Well, this was a ride I wasn't expecting.
It started as a cute romance book of two long-separated friends who had a bad last moment together, a pretty casual read, but in the end, it was a page-turner.
The reason it wasn't a 5-star read was that the story felt a bit rushed, especially at the end.
The main characters had great chemistry with each other and I loved their connection but I would like a bit more of their backstory, we did hear about their time as kids and their present time but nothing more about them that would give them more of a dimension.
There were some cliche parts but I didn't mind them at all. They were put together pretty well.
The epilogue was beautifully written, with such a heartwarming ending. I loved it!
And for the side characters... Do I see a hint for a second book :)?

4.5 ⭐
I enjoyed reading this.
Such a wonderful story, with a great message, and with amazing, AMAZING artwork.
I don't want to do too much explaining the story as the main description of this graphic novel is enough, any more would only spoil the enjoyment of learning about the characters and their place and meaning in this world.
You don't have to be big to do great things and this novel portrays it well!
A perfect read for all ages.
