My spoiler saturated thoughts on the books I read
Decemeber 20, 2021 – Decemeber 27, 2021 (Sigh) I really enjoyed this book. It was clever and interesting and a good concept for a book, but it had this one scene. The bad evil soldiers had escaped and had attacked the girl, and though it made it clear the dragon showed up before she could …

December 1, 2021 – December 2, 2021 I liked this book, like a lot. I think because there wasn’t any hint of breaking up. It was them against the world. Plus she nailed panic attacks. It did have really long sections of deep thinking, but I can forgive them for that because I loved the …
Continue reading “Mind the Gap, Dash & Lily by Rachel Cohn & David Levithan, Dash & Lily #3”
Novemeber 30, 2021 – Decemeber 1, 2021 I’m still sick, so another full day of reading. I liked the first one better (minus him checking his ex with her top off.) but this one was still pretty good. I felt like it rambled sometimes, but not in an unpleasant way. I loved that they worked …

November 30, 2021 – November 30, 2021 I read a book. This is a big deal. A book started a full-out mental breakdown last spring. I tried two more books and disaster struck that I barely avoided. The fact that I tried again matters a lot. And the book I chose? I saw this was …

October 16, 2021 – October 19, 2021 Wow, that was a fire hose. A good one though. If you have a child this is definitely a book you should read. I’m going to change how I approach these topics with my kids.
April 23, 2021 – September 29, 2021 This was the most helpful book I’ve ever read on storytelling. I’m going to be rereading chapters of it next month as I figure out what I’m going to write in November. The things he taught me has changed the way I think about my books and my …

September 1, 2021 – September 1, 2021 I can’t get the sexual assault out of my head. It triggered me hard core. And the fact she brushed it off as “ok” because he couldn’t help himself and they fall in love later. It is NOT ok, EVER. And how they just were like “well obviously …

January 1, 2019 – January 1, 2019 HAhahah, this book was great! Not only is the main character different but still super fun to follow, but then they managed to tie it all into the original Howl’s cast! In the beginning, I was a little disappointed that the story didn’t seem at all connected with …
Continue reading “Castle in the Air by Diana Wynne Jones, Howl’s Moving Castle #2”
July 23, 2021 – July 25, 2021 Awwwwww once again another super cute story and once again pretty much no science in it 😜. The only reason it gets a three star instead of a four star is because of the rather explicit sex scenes. I don’t know why I kept reading but something in …

July 21, 2021 – July 23, 2021 Well that ended abruptly. Like I got whiplash because it was all set up for more but then there wasn’t anymore… Ignoring that YAY I read a book! I’m still recovering from the Redeeming Love mental breakdown, so I’ve done hardly any reading that is new, but a …
