Julie’s Review: I met the author Leigh Bardugo at the Houston Teen Book Con in 2013. I got the hardback of Shadow and Bone signed then! Unfortunately, I just didn’t get around to reading it. I know, bad me! So I finally decided to buy the audible version so I would finally get to experience […]
Julie’s Review: Let me just start out by saying that blurb is misleading… “Heart stopping?” No. “Thrilling?” No. “Shocking?” No. “Satisfying?” Yes. I loved the first two books in this series. LOVED Juliette and Adam in book 1, and LOVED even more having Warner get redeemed and all the feels of the triangle. But […]
Julie’s Review: Mila 2.0 is really about what it means to be human. Mila is a teenage girl living with her Mom in a small town and is enjoying talking to this great guy that she’s really into, and things seem normal. Well, until she has an accident and finds out that she doesn’t bleed, […]
Julie’s Review: I can’t even begin to gush about how much I enjoy Tahereh Mafi’s writing style in this series. I loved Shatter Me, and really feel the same way about Unravel Me. Like in the first book, the writing was excellent. There are so many good quotables and really unique imagery in this book. […]
Julie’s Review: I was approached to review the audio book of Wings of Shadow specifically, and I agreed because the blurb sounded interesting, and I do love audio books. I don’t think I’ve heard any other books narrated by Meghan Lewis but I really enjoyed her narration of Wings of Shadow. Her accents were great, and I […]
Julie’s Review: Maybe Someday is such a unique experience. It has to be the first book I’ve ever read (or really heard of) with its own soundtrack! Yes, that’s right, the amazing Griffin Peterson (you know, the yummy musician who posed for the cover of Losing Hope) has written some really cool songs for this […]
Julie’s Review: The Coldest Girl in Coldtown was such a cool book (ok that was a bad pun). But really, I found it fun. I thought the way people get turned into vampires was pretty unique, since it deviated from the norm of either simply being bitten, or drinking vampire blood. In this book, someone […]
Julie’s Review: I read several interviews where Ms. Jordan says outright that Uninvited is not a dystopia. I have to respectfully disagree. It is absolutely one. Just look at the definition: dys·to·pi·a n. 1. An imaginary place or state in which the condition of life is extremely bad, as from deprivation, oppression, or terror. 2. A work […]
Julie’s Review: In Short: The Diviners was on my TBR for a while now and I bought the ebook when it was a daily deal. I finally got around to reading it when Rose’s book club picked it for February, but since I’m moving I knew I wouldn’t have time to actually read the book, […]
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 […]
