hello all! I hope everyone is having a good quarantine and doing well. I had a good reading month in March and I’ve already finished three books this month. I have read a total of 10 books and had the average rating of 3.4.
Rated this five stars! This book was craaazy and depressing man. It was good yet at the same time I could not recommend this book because of all the dark themes. Make sure you read all the trigger warnings before you read this book because I did not and I was taken by a huge surprise after I finish this book. The pacing was also a little weird to me also during the first half and I also found the dialogue weird since the setting is set in Ancient China yet the characters talk as if it’s 2020. I wouldn’t be surprised if the next book used today’s slang. It both amused and bother me.
Rated this four stars! Thoughtless is one of my favorite contempories from S.C. Stephens and I saw she had a book with rivals between two bike racing companies and I really did love this story. The main character was kind of annoying but I really liked the love interest. I liked the rivalry and I can’t wait to read the second book. I’m sad this book had a low rating on goodreads but definitely recommend if you like romance between rivals!
Rated this 2.5 but I rounded to a three on goodreads. This is a quiet book with a fake dating trope and I’ll be honest this book had the blandest fake dating ever. They’re hardly put in any situations where they have to prove they’re dating. Everyone just went along with it and the person the main character was trying to convince the most that she was in a fake relationship already knew. This book has little climax and I could barely remember how it ended. Like I said it’s a quiet read if you don’t want anything too dramatic.
I rated this book three stars! I wanted to love this so much like everyone else but it was just too info-dumpy to the point I got bored when I got to the end, I still didn’t know what was going on. I loved the setting and characters but the politics was just too much.
Five awesome stars! I loved Jason so much in this book and will definitely be rereading this. You can either love how Obnoxious and ridiculous Jason or you’ll find it annoying but I was few who found Jason entertaining. Definitely one of my fave contemporaries now and one of my fave books of 2020! Definitely recommend!
Four stars! I absolutely loved the romance and the first two chapters… whew! Steamy! I don’t remember why I didn’t rate it five stars. I think it’s because there’s too much sex for me. I mean I don’t have any problem with smut but it got to the point I was got annoyed but I definitely recommend! A sweet sweet romance!
This was a good intro to the series yet the plot was slow. If you’re someone who reads books more for the plot, then this wouldn’t be your book. I really liked the main character and the setting was meh. I gave this book an overall three stars but I will be reading the second book!
This is was definitely a book for the Slytherins because the main character was sneaky and very mischievous. I really liked the main character but the romance and plot was just not it. The love interest had 0 personality and and the plot would be all over the place. Every obstacle the main character had it would easily be removed or resolved. I enjoyed the book but it’s just a bland Wicked King by Holly Black. Rated this three stars!
I finally read a hyped book! All I’ve been reading were debuts and lowkey books and I finally read something that’s popular among the book community and all I can say it was ehh. I feel like I would absolutely loved this if I were in my teens (I’m 21). I loved the group of misfits trope and every POVs but what bother me the most. THE MOST. was Zila’s lack of POV. She probably had her own two chapters but they were barely a paragraph long while everyone else gets multiple chapters with multiple pages. I feel some type of way because Zila is the only black girl in the group and if it weren’t for her, this book would be nothing! They would honestly be stuck and confused without Zila and if the bisexual disabled alien can get chapters and pages then so should the smartest person in the whole series. Because of that, I rated it three stars. I will be picking up the second book!
I hate the fact this book wasted my time. It was so gross and downright ridiculous. I DNF’d at 70% because the more chances I tried to give this book, the more ridiculous it gets. The plot is no where to be found, the characters are weird, and the book tries to be both dramatic and humorous but fails to do both and instead comes off cringey. This does have the cheating trope which I don’t really have a problem with but the trope was handled poorly with barely any consequences. The book had the potential. It HAD IT. But after 25% of it, it just went down hill and got weirder and weirder and weirder. Definitely do not recommend. Also there’s a rape scene involving the heroine or male interest that wasn’t handled correctly and I just can not. 1 star. Hate the fact I ended March with this book.
Thank you guys for reading my wrap up! I will try to post more often since I have loads of free time! I’m also partaking in the OWLS readathon and will be showing you guys my TBR which I already half way finished.
Thanks for reading!
