Rating: meh. Predictable sometimes, bizarre others. What is up with her teeth clicking. Ughggh.

Rating: Ugh. Book 3 of... 5? I liked the first book mostly, but I have trouble with a series. I was just so irritated a so many things about this novel. 

Rating: Charming. I enjoyed this one a lot. I'm glad it can stand alone; however, I do believe there is another book that's at least in the same world if not with the same characters. It was funny, and sad, and wonderfully written. 

Rating: good! The second in a duology. I really liked it and wanted to keep reading it. A few character choices were unbelievable. A few twists were predictable, but others were not. Worth reading this pair!

Rating: meh. Second in a duology? Or are there going to be more? I just didn't care. And there were things that didn't make sense. And stop saying "my girl." Ugh.

Project Hail Mary

Sci-Fi

I picked this up when I took my classes up to the school library. I liked The Martian and it caught my eye. Wow, this was a great book. 

It was my book I was reading at school, but I brought it home this weekend because I just didn't want to out it down. 

It was interesting, and it was funny. 

Loved it.

Fourth Wing & Iron Flame

By Rebecca Yarros

First 2 books in a 5 book series. 

I enjoyed the first book (Fourth Wing) more than the second. 

But by the time I was reading the second? The stakes: so high. The choices: so incomprehensible. The relationships: a little uncomfortable. 

I still finished it. I still wanted to know how the second book ended. (I was irritated with how it ended.)

Will I read the rest of the series? 🤷‍♀️

When the Moon Hatched

Fantasy 

So. 

Yeah. 

There was a lot I didn't like about this book. The needless word shifts (slumber-terror vs nightmare, for example...) the way that they curse just like we do. The crudity. 

But it had some interesting things about dragons?

And I did want to know how it ended. 

Not interested enough to read the sequel, whenever that happens. 

all the Mercyverse

Patricia Briggs has an ongoing novel series about a coyote shape-shifter names Mercy Thompson. She's a mechanic. She is friends with vampires, werewolves, and fae. She's a force for chaos. 

There are so many. Alpha & Omega books too. 

These are just 3 of the ones I don't own and need to return to the library today.
