Series of books I listen to via audiobooks.
Why is it that I can never seem to read books in their designated season? It’s as if I have a disorder where I simply cannot bring myself to read the synopsis; it’s there, but it might as well be invisible to me. If you’re a fan of the movie ‘Groundhog’s Day,’ or perhaps just a Bill Murray enthusiast, chances are you’ll enjoy this. This lively and cheerful young adult novel is perfect for capturing all the Valentine’s season feels, especially if you dive into it during February.
I can’t even begin to express my excitement when I picked up this book. It’s a rarity for me to read reviews before diving into a novel, but this time I did, and they only heightened my anticipation. With its stunning cover, compelling synopsis, and a nomination for Best Horror in the 2022 Goodreads Awards, I couldn’t help but wonder, what could possibly go wrong?
With Death personified as our leading man, I was sold right from the start. This novel, a nominee for Best Young Adult Fantasy & Science Fiction (2022) in the Goodreads Awards, was one of my most anticipated reads of the year. Additionally, the heroine is practically labeled as death-proof and a witch. “Yes, I volunteer as tribute,” I thought. However, as the plot unfolded…
With my current obsession being Ashley Poston, I’ve devoured anything I can get my hands on. When I saw that she had written a fairytale-esque story, I was sold from the start. But then I saw the cover… Are you kidding? Absolutely gorgeous—especially the embroidery. In my mind, nothing could go wrong.
I must be honest here. What initially prompted me to pick up “Weyward” wasn’t the reviews or the synopsis; it was this stunning cover! This cover alone would entice me to return to this book repeatedly. Yet, when you delve into its pages, you stumble upon something I wasn’t entirely acquainted with but now cannot imagine my reading life without – “witcherature.”
I’ve had a love-hate relationship with this book much like Hawk and Poppy. This isn’t my initial encounter with the story, nor will it be the final one. There’s an inexplicable allure in From Blood and Ash that continues to draw me in. I’d wager it’s largely due to the conclusion…
To say that this book is emotionally profound would be an understatement. “Pachinko” delves deep into the human heart, depicting moments of intense turmoil that mirror the struggles endured by Korean families during this tumultuous era marked by warfare and upheaval. The narrative explores these trials in a poignant manner, capturing the profound impact of historical events on the family. An ensemble of characters confront the harsh realities of racism, discrimination, stereotyping, and the intricate tapestry of the 20th-century Korean experience in Japan.
When was the last time you read a book in one sitting? I mean cover to cover, it was so good you just couldn’t put it down. The Love Wager just did this for me. When I tell you I could not stop laughing a the hilarious dialogue between these two, it was magnetic. Hallie and Jack and by far one of my favorite couples of the year. Let’s dive into why.
As young adult, romance, and fantasy genres continue to sweep the bookish world by storm, we have witnessed a significant surge in influence from BookTok creators, who are introducing fresh and intriguing twists to their audiences. While paranormal romances and urban fantasies may not be new to some, there’s no denying that reverse harem stories have been making a splash on many “for you” pages. So, let’s delve into this thrilling addition to the spicy genre and explore what makes it so enticing.
I’m not shy about broadcasting my immense love for “The Hunger Games.” I’ve re-read the whole series countless times and make it a regular ritual to re-watch the movies. So, you can imagine my excitement when Suzanne Collins announced a prequel. I mean, could our beloved universe, complete with its intricate political dynamics and grim dystopian backdrop, actually be expanding? Was there a chance we’d get a glimpse into the backstory of the Hunger Games? Then the reviews started flooding in, and I’ll admit, my enthusiasm took a hit. However, this year, I decided to take the plunge and read it, especially with the upcoming movie on the horizon. Oh, if only I could turn back time.
