"Patience and Silence had one beautiful daughter.
And her name was Vengeance."



These books are awesome.
Not much to say that haven't already been said and I loved the illustrations from Hanna's journal.
Can't wait till my copy of Obsidio arrives..

Illuminae

Illuminae by Amie Kaufman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

⭐5 stars⭐

The universe owes you nothing.
It has already given you everything after all.
It was here long before you, and it will go on long after you.
The only way it will remember you is if you do something worthy of remembrance.

I loved it and I'm so happy! There was so much hype around this and I was afraid I'd be disappointed but I'm sooo glad I wasn't!
And the whole files thing was awesome as far as I'm concerned.
Definitely a new favourite.

Ruckus

Ruckus by L.J. Shen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

⭐4 stars⭐

What makes you feel alive?
Taking a bus with a route I don't know. Walking the long way home. Feeling my senses heighten as my body becomes more alert to the unfamiliar scenery around me.

"I'm going after Baby LeBlanc."

"I sure as fuck hope you mean Rosie and not my future kid."

"Christ." I rolled my eyes, leaning forward to snatch the blunt from Vicious. "And then people accuse me of being the creepy one."

"Harry — I think I've just understood something! I've got to go to the library!"
And she sprinted away, up the stairs.

"What does she understand?" said Harry distractedly.

"Loads more than I do," said Ron, shaking his head.

"But why's she got to go to the library?"

"Because that's what Hermione does," said Ron, shrugging. "When in doubt, go to the library."

Vicious by L.J. Shen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I wouldn't want to live forever. What would be the point in that? Aren't you hungry for something? Don't you have dreams?
What weight and significance do your dreams have if they don't have a deadline? If you don't have to chase them today because you can do it tomorrow, in a week, a year, or in a hundred years' time?

Was he an asshole? Sure, but we knew that already. And sure there were flaws but I enjoyed reading this so I don't caaaare.
(yes, that's me singing. i had too much chocolate just ignore me)

I was stealing her pens and pencils, when actually, I was desperate for her words.
All of them. Every letter and syllable. Every silly doodle.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

⭐5 stars⭐

His friend catcalls me and asks how much.
"Five thousand," I yell back with a mouth still half full of food. "To let me watch while you suck a bag of dicks."

They exchange a dopey look and hurl some insults my way. I flip them the bird before stuffing the last of the hot dog into my mouth and licking my fingers.
Boys.
Silly little playthings.

I loved my fucked up Scarlett. Loved her. And my Irish babies of course.
I'm happy with this.

"No, see these little flips go like so," Ronan says as he points at the diaper on the table.

"I don't think they do, Fitz," Crow argues. "They don't stay like that."

"Maybe you could tape them," Alexei offers.

I clear my throat from the door, and all three of them look at me like deer in the headlights. Ronan's cheeks flush, and so do Lachlan's. I just caught the boss and the underboss of the Irish mob blushing over a baby.

Lachlan and Ronan's bromance is my drug! Love it!
And can't wait for my other mobster muffins' stories.

Crow

Crow by A. Zavarelli
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

⭐5 stars⭐

The crow symbolizes many things in different cultures. The interpretations are vast and far reaching. But when the magic and lore have been stripped away, all that's left is reality.
For me, only one interpretation comes to mind. At its most basic, and especially to me, the crow symbolizes death.

Taking Shots

Taking Shots by Toni Aleo
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

⭐2 stars⭐

Whoever thought up the phrase 'Absence makes the heart grow fonder' was an idiot.
Absence makes a bitch go crazy.

I nearly DNF at least 3 times..
And I almost never do that.
I skimmed though. A lot.
I just can't enjoy a book if I don't like the characters and I really really didn't like Elli. Plus it was such a long book and got really boring at times.
Normally I wouldn't read the other books but I heard really good things about the series so I think I'll give the next couple books a chance and see what happens.

"Was there a moment?" Logan asks. "Like a distinct moment when you knew she was it for you."

A smile pulls on my lips. "Not really. I mean I could lie, I could tell you it was the first time we had sex, or the first time she laughed. But I don't know... maybe there wasn't a moment, or maybe it was all of them."

More Than Him

More Than Him by Jay McLean
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

⭐4 stars⭐

You know what I think? I think it's human nature to blame yourself. When things fuck up in life, you always want to find a reason for it. There has to be a reason, right? Bad things don't just happen to good people.
So we sit around and try to make sense of it all, and the only sense we can make is that we probably deserved it, so we make up these ideas in our heads.

"Also," Lucy continued, "this girl in one of my classes keeps wanting me to warn you that her brother is after you."

I rolled my eyes, "What girl?What do you tell her?"

"I tell her to fuck off. And that she needs to learn to control her hormones. Get it, Logan? WHORE-MOANS? Oh my god. I'm so fucking funny!"

Lucy is EVERYTHING!
And that book broke my stupid heart. Thank the book gods I don't have to wait for the next one.

"Let her read," Cam says with an evil smirk.

"Shut up," Lucy mumbles under her breath.

Cam starts laughing. "Oh I love it when she reads. Sometimes when we're in bed, she'll be reading and make this little moaning sounds," he continues, trying not to laugh.

Lucy jumps off the truck. Removing her heels, she stalks him like prey. "I swear to god Cameron Aladdin Gordon! You better shut your mouth or I won't put out for one year!"

I loved Lucy and Cam. And Logan. Can't wait for their books!

As for our main couple.. Two words:
Blue. Balls.
Not cool Mikayla.
Not. Cool.
2 stars for them. One extra for the Mayhem gang.

Hard Wood

Hard Wood by Lauren Blakely
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

⭐3 stars⭐

Zeus is allergic to running. He's not playing Mia's game. Instead, he puts one white paw in front of the other and walks.
And walks.
And walks.
"Dude you're cock-blocking me," I mutter to the cat.
He lifts his face and utters an au contraire meow.
"Can you try to at least jog?"
If cats could laugh, Zeus would be doubled over as he strolls after the woman.

3 stars for Zeus the cat and his silly chapters

Behind us, people start complaining that we're holding up the line. Lucy glares. "Would you chill the fuck out?"

The asshole behind me says, "Nice. You plan on kissing your baby with that filthy mouth sweetheart?"

If you ever want to see the fear in a man's eyes from the threats of six men, get him to say something shitty to the men's daughter/sister/wife. I step forward, "Say that again."

A woman mumbles, "Damn Preston Punks."

Tower of Dawn

Tower of Dawn by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

⭐3.5 stars⭐

We don't look back. It helps no one and nothing to look back.

See I have this feeling that if I reread this series I won't like it...

I loved Chaol so much when I started this series so I was obviously going to give his book a chance, even though he let me down so hard in some of the previous books.
It wasn't bad but it got really boring at times. Or maybe I'm expecting too much at this point. And I think I wanted this book to be shorter.. I feel it could be 200 less pages and we still wouldn't have missed something from the story.

Aaaaanyway.. Maybe I'm just grumpy because my queen Manon wasn't in it, who knows..

Hunting Prince Dracula by Kerri Maniscalco
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

⭐5 stars⭐

Society at large is staggeringly obtuse. If one simply looks to others for their opinions, they lose the ability to think critically for themselves. Progress would never be made if everyone appeared and thought and loved in the same manner.

*sigh*
So much love for these books..
I adore these books and these characters and can not wait for the next book and their next adventure!

Off to the next book.!

The Art of French Kissing

The Art of French Kissing by Brianna R. Shrum
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

⭐3 stars⭐

"He's just this guy here who went out of his way to completely screw me on day one."

"How did he screw you?"

"In the kitchen," I say. Then immediately. "DON'T. DO NOT."

That was a cute book that actually made cooking seem fun (see, mom, that was the way to go) and made me crave macarons BUT our main girl Carter was such an annoying character. She'd get mad over..well..pretty much anything and she just acted like a brat I just couldn't like.

I liked Riya and most of the other characters even though the book was a bit short to really get to know them. And of course my adorable baby Reid. A cute Japanese dude cooking for you? Yes please!

Overall I enjoyed it even though I'm not much of a cooking person and I wanted to smack Carter half the time. If you're looking for an quick, fluffy, fun read give this book a chance. And make sure you have snacks.

Fawkes

Fawkes by Nadine Brandes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

⭐4 stars⭐

There has always been fear. There will always be fear. It's up to us to stand tall, even when the fear demands we bow to it.

I reeeeeally enjoyed this!

It was a tiny bit slow at times and I didn't really care for Thomas (he was kinda selfish and whiny) but I loved the rest of the characters and the story was awesome. The historical fantasy aspect was great and I loved the masks, the colour powers and the fact that Guy Fawkes and the plotters were actually in the book.

Also,
EMMA IS MY QUEEN! I just loved this girl she was amazing!

Someday, Somewhere

Someday, Somewhere by Lindsay Champion
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

⭐4 stars⭐

That's the thing about music, I guess. It begins, it consumes you and then it ends.

A lovely debut novel by Lindsay Champion. I loved her writing and even though there were parts in the story I'm not usually a fan of, I still enjoyed the book much more than I expected to.
It was sweet, fast paced and filled with music and I'm one of those who actually liked how it all ended.
