Julie’s Review: I quite enjoy the feeling when I don’t want to stop reading. And I will admit I stayed up reading this because I wanted to get to the end and did not want to put it down. I am a fan of Alice in Wonderland reimaginings – I feel the world gives so […]
This month, Julie and I actually listened to the same book! We wanted to finish out the GILDED duology! So in celebration, here’s our joint review of the audiobook of CURSED (Gilded #2) by Marissa Meyer. If you want to read our review of GILDED, check it out here! Julie’s Review: I really enjoyed […]
This month, Julie and I actually listened to the same book! So in celebration, here’s our joint review of GILDED by Marissa Meyer. Julie’s Review: AHHHH! Why did this have to end! No I need the next book now! Ok let’s back up. I’m in a solid 4+ rating on this one. The […]
Julie’s Review: Marissa Meyer is a genius, but we already knew that from her famous Lunar Chronicles series. I love how she takes a story and twists it all up in her adaptation of it. Heartless is a brilliant prequel, a back story for the vengeful and angry Queen of Hearts, who is famously […]
Julie and I have decided that since loads of other bloggers have posted reviews of Winter, we’d take a different approach. We totally stole Bookworm Brandee’s Blogger Chick Chat idea, and went with a chat instead. Spoilers, obvs. And following our usual pattern, Julie’s chatting is in purple. My chatting is in blue. Excuse the […]
Lynn’s Review: I’ve read a slew of unremarkable books lately. And UnEnchanted is one of them. UnEnchanted is the first of the Unfortunate Fairy Tales series by Chandra Hahn. In this series, Mina Grime finds out that her actual last name is Grimm. Of Grimm’s fairy tales fame. And her family has been cursed […]
Julie’s Review: Cress is the third Lunar Chronicles book, and now it follows three characters. The first book was only Cinder, the second was both Scarlet and Cinder, and now we have Cress in addition to Scarlet and Cinder. I like how each book builds onto each character’s continuing story, while focusing on the […]
Julie’s Review: Splintered is kind of hard for me to review because I both found it unique and exciting, but at times a little overwhelming. Maybe that’s why I only rated it 3.5 stars. I enjoyed the premise and thought the idea to have the modern day retelling be centered around the descendants of Alice […]
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 Cinder is definitely a unique retelling of the Cinderella fairy tale. Cinder is an orphan with no memory of who she is. She was told she was in an accident, and needed to be “repaired”, which is why she is now a cyborg. Her adoptive step-father dies of the plague and […]
