This Is How You Lose the Time War by Max Gladstone, Amal El-Mohtar
Did not finish book. Stopped at 15%.

I think this is one I should physically read to grasp what is going on. With the audio I’m just completely lost.

Morning Glory Milking Farm by C.M. Nascosta

3.5

This was fun, different, guilty pleasure kind of smut. Along the same lines of Ice Planet Barbarians series by Ruby Dixon for me.

If This Gets Out by Cale Dietrich, Sophie Gonzales
Did not finish book. Stopped at 7%.

It’s just too cringy and not believable for me. And the narration adds to the cringiness.

This was a totally different experience reading this as an adult. This time, her parents (especially her dad) made me so angry. They’re really pretty awful. But I definitely still see myself in Auden, and I hope to open up and grow like her in the years to come.

Carley was one of the reasons I got back into reading, I just love her books, especially this one. The friendship, the love, the independent growth. I love it all.

There’s a reason Sarah Dessen was my favorite author in high school.

This was just weird and didn’t do a very good job of explaining the world. It ultimately left me confused and disappointed

I think these super short stuff your kindle finds are just not for me. It moves too quickly and the writing is super simple and not enough feeling. It made me cringe at lot.

I think reading this directly after The Kiss Quotient was a mistake. I absolutely loved that book and its characters, while this one felt a bit disappointing. I didn’t connect with the characters very well and some plot points made me cringe. But I really appreciate the different outlook it gave me.
