ABOUT TIME, RIGHT?! *coughs* Yeah, it took me long enough, I know. Honestly though, I’d seen all of the movies, so I knew the gist of it (yes, I know, books always have more detail than the movies), so I had no desire to read them. I’ve been meaning to forever, I just…couldn’t bring myself to. Until finally, I drew it from my TBR jar! I’m going to be honest, I had actually tried reading this a couple years ago – […]

I have been putting this book of for ages! And with everyone raving about it, I was afraid I wouldn’t like it. Thankfully I didn’t dislike it, but I was left feeling a bit underwhelmed. The pacing was terribly slow, and there wasn’t much happening AT ALL. Throughout the entire story. I felt like nothing really happened. While I did kind of love Po (even though his name is pretty lame), I didn’t connect to the characters very well. Katsa […]

I love that Ali and Cole are finally at an understanding in this book. All of the arguing and hot and cold BS they had going in the last book drove me crazy!! They finally look out for each other, and Cole realizes Ali’s strength. He doesn’t hold her back. I loved that they worked together! The shit hit the fan in this book! There was never a dull moment, and I enjoyed the action and danger around every turn. […]

What a satisfying end to an adorable series! It’s been a long time since I read the second book, but I was thrilled to jump back into this magical world. I absolutely LOVE the magic in this book! It seemed like Dusty and Eli’s relationship was always difficult. If it wasn’t one thing getting in between them, it was another. I loved that they still stayed strong despite it all, though! They didn’t give up on each other. I adore […]

I’ve been hearing wonderful things about this book for some time now (especially from Nova!), but I’ve been hesitant to pick it up because I wasn’t sure it was going to be a “me” book. As it turns out, I was pleasantly surprised! I absolutely loved the message this book had going for it. I love that Elise was sort of lost and alone, and in finding music she found herself. She also found herself without the aid of a guy. This […]

I’m going to be honest, I was afraid to even pick this book up. The reviews for it are horrific. I don’t think I’d seen one good review out there. But, I saw everyone raving about the TV show, and I couldn’t watch it without at least giving the book a chance first (*coughs* because I would never, ever read the book after watching it). Now, unfortunately, I see why people don’t like it. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t […]
