pickOh Lalo and Carolina, y‘all are. Something. I kept having to remind myself that she‘s 18 and he‘s 19 and sometimes, older teens just be like that. The pacing was off, and the kiss to love confession gave me whiplash, but I really liked the writing and the world building. Also the cover?? 😍 I‘ve already stacked Montoya‘s upcoming circus book that sounds real fun!

pickOoooh I love this series. I think this one earned its 16hrs more than Paladin‘s Strength, and Marguerite and Shane are just too cute. I know there‘s 7 books planned in this series so PLEASE Kingfisher we need an update on Judith! And some happiness for Wren!

pickToo bad the male narrator is apparently a garbage human being, bc this audiobook was fun. I‘m rereading so I can finally get to Scythe and Sparrow, so after MONTHS wait, I liked the audiobook. Now to wait for Leather and Lark.

panI only finished this book because I was annotating it. The magic system is never explained and also makes 0 sense. Ivy is the WORST detective ever, and also has no growth as a person. All of the adults (except for maybe Mrs. Webb and definitely Rahul) deserve jail.

so-soI‘m rereading the Mead Mishap series for reasons, and the second one will always be my least favorite. The love potion storyline just rubs me entirely the wrong way, and I think it would‘ve been better without it. That being said, Kimberly Lemming, you have my whole heart.

pickNgl, these two stressed me TF out. I had to take a break from their miscommunications bc it was making me so anxiousssss. I wish Julia‘d faced more consequences, and if/when I listen to the sequels, I hope they follow thru on their plans with her bc JAIL. She deserves JAIL. Anyway, hope DJ and Trisha have a long and happy life together :)

pickWell OBVIOUSLY this is a good book. I‘m rereading so I can go into Ballad and Sunrise with all the info I need. It took me a minute to get into Collins‘ writing style, and since the YA voice isn‘t something I‘ve read in a LONG time. But first one down! Four to go!

pickI picked up this book SOLELY for the fact that Vico Ortiz read for one of the characters, and this is such a heart warming story?? Coming of age magical realism about accepting yourself in every way possible, I loved it and immediately recommended it to a friend lol.

so-soThis fills the same spot in my head as reality TV, which is what they were going for so cheers to that. Unfort, Bea is just…idk. She feels so blah? And she makes some INTERESTING (derogatory) choices throughout this book, starting with knowingly sleeping with a woman‘s fiance?? Girl.

pickAs an interlude between reading all 4 Inheritance Cycle books and then almost spring-boarding myself into Murtagh, this was nice! I liked seeing different aspects of Alegaesia and checking in on my fav (even tho his story was the shortest smh my head).
