Julie’s Review: I’m not really sure what to make of All The Truth That’s In Me. I definitely did not find it “riveting” as the audiobook cover quote says, and based on the other reviews I see on Goodreads, it might just be me. The narrator did a good job, and the writing was very […]
Julie’s Review: Starters has a very Dollhouse feel to it, so I was immediately intrigued. We have a post-war world where only the young and the very old survived because they were the first to be vaccinated. In this world, the “Enders” aka the elderly actually live about double our normal life-span, and now they […]
Julie’s Review: I liked Point of Retreat as a follow up to Slammed, but I did like Slammed a lot more. I didn’t know at first that Point of Retreat would be told from Will’s POV, so that was a nice surprise. Although, now I’m not sure if I’ll be interested in reading the third […]
Julie’s Review: This novella was from Warner’s POV entirely, and it was meant to show us that maybe he’s not so evil after all. It gives us a glimpse into his obsession with Juliette, and I think it was meant to redeem his character a little. But I found it kind of dull. So we […]
Julie’s Review: I feel like I’ve been in a reading rut lately because a lot of the books I’ve read have just been a little meh. How do you know when you’re in a reading rut? Well, when you finally read a book that is excellent, you feel it! You just have this exciting tingly […]
Julie’s Review: My Creatures book club read Lord of Thunder for our January meeting, and had the author, Linda Mooney, attend in person! She’s local(ish) and we’ve had her attend a meeting in the past and had a really fun time. This time was no different. We had a blast chatting with her about this […]
Julie’s Review: I put off reading Requiem because I was a bit disappointed with Pandemonium and read so many mixed reviews of this final book in the trilogy. Many reviews were critical at the open ending, but I’m happy to say, I found the ending satisfying enough. This review contains spoilers so you’ve been warned. […]
Julie’s Review: I definitely didn’t know what to expect with this book since the blurb is a bit mysterious but I admit this is a great book club selection. I was expecting some deep dark family secrets, but instead the “secrets much darker than she could have guessed” refers to the laws and practices in […]
Julie’s Review I really enjoyed Cinder and thought Scarlet was an interesting sequel, but to me it wasn’t as good as Cinder. I liked the Scarlet was a tough redhead who didn’t back down or hide from danger. She’s a really cool character and I really liked her. Scarlet’s Grandmother is missing […]
Julie’s Review: The Blue Between is a pretty quick YA sci-fi that is pretty entertaining but left me wanting a bit more. I liked the premise – girl gets hit by lightning and all of a sudden starts disappearing and appearing in strange places, getting accused of being a runaway. Under hypnosis she realizes she’s […]
