Julie’s Review: Uglies is a pretty good dystopia where at age 16, everyone gets an operation to make them pretty – as opposed to the uglies they are now. I liked that the novel explored what we as people think is beauty (symmetrical faces, little body fat, etc) but also explored the truth behind the […]
Julie’s Review: I’m sad to say I was pretty underwhelmed with Under The Never Sky. I read so many glowing reviews, so my expectations were sky high on this one (pun intended). I guess you could say this novel fell into the pitfalls of hype category for me. It was very much a journey book, […]
Julie’s Review This will be more of a mini-review since this was a mini-read. I LOVE Colleen Hoover’s writing style. It flows so effortlessly, and it reads so well. I read it on the plane, sitting next to my co-blogger who was also reading it. Yep, that’s how we roll. Every time she laughed out […]
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: 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 […]
Julie’s Review I kind of have mixed feelings about Untraceable. It started out very slow for me, in fact I read it for a book club and didn’t finish. This doesn’t usually happen. I thought all the detail about survival tips at the beginning was more info dump than world building. Ok, […]
Purchase links: Amazon | B&N Julie’s Review I’ve only read the first full book in the As The World Dies trilogy, so not all the characters in the Untold Tales were familiar to me. However, I still enjoyed the side stories. It was very cool to get a better perspective into […]
Julie’s Review Overall, I give The Midnight Spell a good solid 3 stars. I liked The Midnight Spell even though I have some complaints. The parts that I did enjoy were quite awesome, and the parts I wasn’t as happy about did not detract from the story too much. The Midnight Spell […]
