A very long book for an ending I did not expect.

Icebreaker by Hannah Grace

by Leave a Comment

This was a really strange read. It felt like reading fanfic, but not the good fanfic, the fanfic that people think you get when you read fanfic – really long and pointlessly indulgent. This was going to be a 3 star read, because even though it needed a lot of editing, and 150 fewer pages, it wasn’t horrible. And then I got to the end and was so confused as to what the point had been and why so many plot lines were left loose. […]

Nerdy lesbian romance

by Leave a Comment

How to Excavate a Heart is a book that hit so many good and familiar notes for me.

Luckily Shani got accepted to an internship that the Smithsonian museum of natural history where she’ll work under her idol on coelacanth fossils, giving her distance from home and something to put her focus towards that isn’t her broken […]

Guess I have an extra format to collect Fangirl in now

Fangirl: the manga, vol 1 by Rainbow Rowell and Sam Maggs

by Leave a Comment

Cath Avery thought she’d be sharing a room with her twin sister Wren when they went to college (isn’t that the benefit of having a twin?), but her sister has cut her hair into a cute pixie cut and is looking forward to reinventing herself at college. She’s already friends with her roommate and can’t wait to move away from home and their anxious father. Cath, on the other hand, is deeply outside of her comfort zone. Online, she’s an undisputed queen, an incredibly prolific […]

Don’t judge a book by its cover

Griz by Eddie Cleveland

by 3 Comments

I’ll be the first to admit guilt: I had zero expectations about this book. The blurb sounded mildly entertaining, a comedic fake relationship romance with a college hockey backdrop. Strike that. I had low expectations. I totally judged GRIZ by E. Cleveland by two things that really shouldn’t have any bearing on the quality of a book: the title, the cover and the fact that it was a Kindle Unlimited selection.
