Divergent
I\’m re-reading this in preparation for author\’s new book related to this series coming out in October. Still good on the 2nd read! People that say books aren\’t political are just wrong… lol.
\”..those who want power and get it live in terror of losing it. That\’s why we have to give power to those who do not want it.\”
\”Human beings as a whole cannot be good for long before the bad creeps back in and poisons us again.\”
The Mistake
I love John Logan. I wasn\’t sure about him after Book #1 in this series but he fully redeemed himself in this. I cannot wait to continue these books!!
The Deal
I read this after watching the TV show that was recently released on Prime. There\’s quite a bit of differences but nothing too crazy that took away from the plot. Onto the book though…I enjoyed the sarcasm and dialogue throughout this. Some of the characters I can tell will be developed more in future books and I\’m really looking forward to reading them all!
The Assassin’s Blade
This is my 2nd read through. (Audiobook this time) and reading this prequel 3rd is the proper reading order for this series I\’ve decided! It makes things so much more emotional and devastating to get the backstory after you know the beginning of ToG. I\’m way more attached to the characters!
Dear Debbie
This one was slow and not worth the read either, the twist came too late and while it affected the last 10 pages we didn\’t need 280 pages to get to it.
Phoebe Berman\’s Gonna Lose It
This book by Brooke Averick is also beautifully written and a great read. About turning 30, friends, family, work and life. It has it all – this one is also being adapted into film and I cannot wait to see it.
Fever Dream
This book had an interesting plot but the characters were good. I think it was worth the read but not sure Elsie is my style
Dogs, Boys and Other Things I\’ve Cried about
This book by Isabel Klee (@Simonsits) has dogs, dating, romance and everything between. Isabel wrote this so well and I loved every second of it – even while crying. This is a must read!
Riley Thorn and the Corpse in the Closet
Lucy does it again!! This book is Riley really finding herself and matchmaking combined!!!
The Dead Guy Next Door
I loved this book!! Lucy is such a great author, I laughed, I cried, I yelled. Riley Thorne is such an interesting character and everyone else just fits right in with her. This series is a must read!! (Also based in Harrsiburg so there are a lot of local shoutout!!!)
Want to Know a Secret?
This one was not very good, i\’d be fine skipping it. It was slow and not very memorable
Hart\’s Landing
This book was such a cute read, he falls first, friends to lovers, it has it all. The backstory of the girls and knowing that more books are coming in this series just made it so much better. I cannot wait to go back to Hart\’s Landing!
