One of my top 5 books of 2022. I loved it! There‘s heavy & sensitive topics, but so many twists & turns. I kept guessing the whole time & was pleasantly surprised that the ending wasn‘t predictable to me.

I feel guilty for not liking this book because I know so many people absolutely love it, but I just couldn‘t get into it.

This book hits so close to home. I listened to the audio while at work & ended up in tears because so much of how I am was explained to me through hearing Zach talk about himself. I realized things I had never noticed before & it‘s put a new perspective on my life especially now that I have a son to raise & don‘t want to project what I experienced as a child onto him. I want to do better & be better so he doesn‘t grow up in a broken home like me.

“My gift has always been an ability to be happy. It sounds small until you live in the world for a while.”

The most beautiful cover 🧪🪦 and a very intriguing story as well.

So far this is hilarious

I‘ll be honest I didn‘t like this book. To each their own, but I found it hard to find anything enjoyable about it. I thought the characters were just awful people. I realize everyone makes mistakes, hurt people at some point or another in their lives whether it be intentional or not, but goddamn these characters take the cake. I was happy the book was over simply so I could check it off my list not because it was actually good.

I found this book to be enjoyable, but slow moving at first. Once it picked up I was hooked & finished it in a single night. I loved it.

There‘s something about Barbara O‘Neal‘s writing that pulls me in every time. I shed a few tears & flew threw this book pretty fast compared to other books I‘ve read this year.

So much more twisted than The Hunger Games & I‘m only halfway done

If I could give this book all the stars I would. I love Hilarie Burton Morgan more than words can explain. She‘s so relatable, down to earth, honest, kind, & straightforward. This book is a very raw & open look into her life & the family she‘s created not only with her husband & kids, but with her community. You‘ll laugh, you‘ll cry, you‘ll get angry. This book doesn‘t disappoint.

I tried to finish reading this book, but the story just seemed to get so far fetched & progressively more twisted I gave up. It wasn‘t a compelling storyline & lost my attention halfway through.

Lazy Saturday read. Picked this up at Target today while getting groceries.

Nothing better than finding a beautiful cover hidden underneath the dust jacket.

“In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.”

Sometimes I can‘t help but feel that I really am a hobbit that would rather stay in her hobbit hole than go on any adventures.

“We are plain quiet folk and have no use for adventures. Nasty disturbing uncomfortable things! Make you late for dinner! I can‘t think what anybody sees in them.”

The list of books I‘ve read this year. 19 in 2019. (Vampire diaries is 4 books in 2) less than my goal, but hopefully I‘ll make my goal next year. I‘m slowly expanding my taste in genres/age groups & I really want to see more variety on my shelves from now on. Drop a book in the comments that you absolutely loved reading this year! Maybe I‘ll love it too.

This is the only book I‘ve ever chosen to put down & never pick up again. There have been books that I made myself finish even if they weren‘t the most interesting to me, but with this one I realized I had absolutely 0 desire completing it. Reading felt more like a chore. The storyline didn‘t hook me & I didn‘t love any of the characters. I was more annoyed by the characters at times. Some may love this book, but it‘s just not for me.

Bookish since birth & that‘ll never change. I‘m really hoping I can make a routine of using this app. I‘d much rather spend my time with books than scrolling Facebook, but habits are hard to break. #WishMeLuck

I enjoyed these books & am looking forward to Chloe Snow‘s senior year. Not to be taken too seriously these books make for a mostly lighthearted read about a high school girl navigating her way through life. From boys to divorced parents to mean girls Chloe Snow‘s diaries are funny & sometimes sad. Overall I‘d give these books a 3.5/5 rating.

Love love love this book! I‘m not really a poetry person, but this book makes me want to get into it. No spoilers here, but I was not expecting the ending at all.

I really loved this book. (I love anything by Julie Buxbaum) It‘s not often you find a YA book with an autistic character playing a main role. It‘s relatable. It‘s funny. It‘s not trying too hard to be different or to blend in. It‘s 100% entirely it‘s own.

They seem to understand that the world is a big, diverse place, & that different is not the same thing as scary. It‘s amazing to me how many people mistake the two.
