  • The Nothing Man: Review?

    The Nothing Man: Review?

    Author: Catherine Ryan Howard 

    Genre: Thriller, Mystery, Adult, Suspense

    3⭐

    Hello, dearies! 📝

    Here’s another I wouldn’t have picked up from a shelf on a trip to the bookstore, yet I read it.

    The Nothing Man is one of those books that didn’t have my full attention until about sixty per cent of it was already behind me.

    I could have left it on the side, I could have stopped reading long before that half mark, but I pushed on, and I am sorry for those who are fans, but it didn’t amount to much at the end.

    4⭐

    Hello, dearies! 👋

    Here’s another that I didn’t think I would create or read, but life has its turns and here we are.

    I enjoyed Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, even when the YA part got a little exaggerated and I was fighting with the main character out aloud alone in my room.

  • The Bane Chronicles: Saving Raphael Santiago

    The Bane Chronicles: Saving Raphael Santiago

    Story: Saving Raphael Santiago

    Authors: Cassandra Clare & Sarah Rees Brennan

    Book: The Bane Chronicles – Book #6

    Genres: Vampires, Fantasy, YA, Short Story

    Hello, dearies! 🦇

    I’m trying a new thing for Thursdays or Fridays, a sort of Throwback post or Flashback, and I thought this one would be perfect for it as The Bane Chronicles is a throwback indeed or a flashback if you must, at least for me.

    As Today is Thursday, this is the first Throwback Thursday book review, thoughts.

    Saving Raphael Santiago it’s not all that engraved in my mind, don’t ask me why because I cannot recall, but it was of the stories in The Bane Chronicles, so of course, I had to read it.

  • Verity

    Verity

    Author: Colleen Hoover

    Genres: Thriller, Romance, Mystery, Dark, Adult

    4 ⭐

    Hello, dearies! 📖

    First off, let me tell you a bit of what you’ll encounter in this book review for Verity because I feel like some warnings are necessary.

    I gave it 4 stars to not give it 3 because that would affect the author, and I’m sure many love this book. And It’s not that I didn’t like it perse, but I didn’t enjoy it fully either. I gave it 4 out of 5 because it was well-written, and I thought, yes, I could read other books by this author.

    But this review is honest, as honest it can be without giving away the ending. I’m warning now and will be warning you further ahead that there are spoilers in this review, many if you don’t want to know anything before reading Verity like me. I read it without even looking at the genres of it.

    Let’s begin. 📝

    Hello, dearies! 🌌

    I finished this one as quickly as I could, not because I wanted to get it over with but because I had Starcaster on my TBR since forever.

    It was a great read, and I recommend it. ☄️

    Hello, dearies!

    It took me some time to write this one, but here I am. As promised.

    I will give you the randomness of my thoughts as they came when I was reading Finale, so bear with me for a bit. You might enjoy the quotes and snippets from the book.

    Fair warning, this post is full of spoilers if you haven’t read any of the books in the Hush Hush Saga, including this one, book 4, Finale.

    For more insight, you might want to first read my revamped review of Books 1 – 3.
