The Distance Between Us by Kasie West

There's Something About Sweetie (Dimple and Rishi #2) by Sandhya Menon

Twice in a Blue Moon by Christina Lauren

by 1 Comment

Okay, Twice in a Blue Moon isn’t YA but it also wasn’t very good so I’m shoving it in here. These were all middling to fair kissing books — two chaste YA novels and one sexier (but really, not very good) adult novel. (3 stars) The Distance Between Us by Kasie West “A lot of people don’t get my humor. My mom calls it dry humor. I think that means “not funny,” but it also means I’m the only one who ever knows it’s a […]

You really do want to be careful with buffets – especially seafood

The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren

by Leave a Comment

Olive Torres loves her twin sister Ami, but while her sister, the eternal winner has been able to finance her entire wedding through various contest winnings, Olive is eternally unlucky. The bridesmaid dress she’s going to have to wear is a truly luminous green monstrosity (but it was free!), she has just been laid off from her job, and the best man, who she’ll have to spend much of her sister wedding day alongside, is the groom’s brother, Ethan Thomas, probably Olive’s least favourite person […]

Blame it on the Monopoly game

My Favorite Half-Night Stand by Christina Lauren

by 5 Comments

I really enjoyed Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating last year, and decided it was time to check out another novel by Christina Lauren (pen name for a writing duo) after reading a somewhat average YA novel.  Like Josh and Hazel, this one was fun and light and breezy, and was filled with modern people that are both relatable and who I would want to be friends with.  (Well, I did wonder if they would all be able to live on their own in […]

Hawaii is for lovers

The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren

by 2 Comments

The Unhoneymooners was my first foray into the Christina Lauren catalog. I’m trying to become more versed in contemporary romance. In March, I visited Hawaii and this book allowed me to daydream again about island life. This book seemed like a perfect match. Olive Torres thinks she is cursed with bad luck. She is recently laid off and has moved into a small apartment. Her love life is nonexistent. Meanwhile, her sister, Amy, seems to have all the good luck. She has a knack for winning […]

Quadruple Cannonball!

To Be Taught, If Fortunate by Becky Chambers

The Institute by Stephen King

My Favorite Half-Night Stand by Christina Lauren

Wordslut: A Feminist Guide to Taking Back the English Language by Amanda Montell

by 3 Comments

Woo hoo! I hit 208 books this weekend. Here are the last 4 books I read, a nice mix of my favorite things: Becky Chambers, Stephen King, Christina Lauren, and a book about linguistics! (5stars) To Be Taught, If Fortunate by Becky Chambers I really love Becky Chambers’s writing — the subject matter (space!) is so fresh and interesting, but the characters at the center are so realistic and well-written (even when they’re not human). I was thrilled to discover that Chambers released a novella […]
