There’s some kind of disconnect between his writing and my understanding and enjoyment of the book. And I’m so sad because so many people love his writing and I know everyone has different opinions but I too wanted to be someone who loved his writing :/

Sooo I DNF’d Buffalo Hunter Hunter. I have a rule that if a book can’t sell me in the first 100 pages that I will DNF. It took me 4 days just to read 100 pages. This is the second book of SGJ I have tried to read and really struggled with.

What dropped it down from a 4 was the repetitiveness in the writing. It felt like Ronald was trying VERY hard to make his point and was really hammering it in. I needed more show and less tell.

Let’s talk about Senseless by Ronald Malfi! I have it a 3.5⭐️ rating and truly enjoyed the multiple storylines. One of my favorite things is when the multiple storylines converge in books, I love to see how it all comes together.

Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant 4/5 ⭐️. This was a wild ride, I can see where some people would think it’s slow but for me the pace was perfect. What a very interesting concept. The ending is what kept it from 5 stars for me.

Finally getting around to reading this. I’m only 68 pages in but I’m hooked! As a girl who completely believed in the mermaid mockumentary from Animal Planet, this book is so up my alley. Can’t wait to continue!

Entity - Meg Smitherman ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
THERE IS NOTHING BETTER THAN A MAN WHO IS SO DOWN BAD FOR HIS LADY. YEARNING TYPE SHIT. Meg Smitherman’s writing is so good at keeping you on the precipice of being scared and aroused.

AND ANOTHER THING - the vampires were great. It felt like a very unique take on the bloodsuckers. Tbf I haven’t read a ton of vampire horror but I’ve never read anything like this.

So just a few more thoughts. I LOVED Néstor and Nena. They were imperfect characters who made mistakes but it made them feel so real and endearing. I had to keep reminding myself that they were 22 and still trying to figure themselves out. Néstor may also be bringing me into a cowboy romance era 🖤🖤🖤
Vampires of El Norte by @isabelcanas.bsky.social - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What a beautifully written book perfectly blending historical romance with a touch of horror. This is not the typical horror book that I usually read but I’m so glad I picked this up! Can’t wait to read her other two books!
I was just so thrown off. Like there was no establishment as to why they were in love with each other. Other than their quirky personalities??
Saving this book from being a dud was Margaret’s story and I found myself wanting those chapters to be longer.
3.25⭐️ Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry
I’m not a huge romance reader but I’ll read anything that EH writes. This is the first time that I didn’t really believe that the characters were in love, it seemed so unnatural.

It felt like a really good movie that you don’t really know what’s happening until the end. Not once did I accurately guess where this book was going. But I think this is a book where you have to give it your attention and a lot of thought.
3.5 ⭐️ Simply wtf Chuck????

The Staircase in the Woods - about 50% of the way through - what a mindfuck

Didn’t realize my crashout into dark romance ended up on my goodreads b/c of my KINDLE. Had to go clean that up since I have some work friends on there 😱😱
#booksky #darkromance
I will probably read anything SJM writes, but my expectations will be a little lower.
Honestly, I was devastated by how “meh” this book was. The first CC was my definition of perfect and I loved Bryce. But in this one I felt like we really lost her character.
I audibly groan every time I see one
What does it say about me that I got 3 “cat mom” cards for Mother’s Day

I have been reading a lot of monster romances on KU and no none of them will show up on my goodreads because what I have on my kindle??? That’s between me and God
#kindle #booksky #romancereader
The concept was very interesting and I liked the mixed media approach but I feel like it was too long but I also wanted more? It was very engaging and interesting. If you like found footage-esque horror. I think you’ll like it!

I just finished Episode Thirteen by Craig DiLouie and I gave it 3.75 ⭐️.

Finished Sunrise on the Reaping and SUZANNNEEEEE!!!! When I catch you… God I cried harder than the ending of Onyx Storm. What a perfectly written book. Easy 5 stars
#booksky #hungergames #sotr
I just booked a trip through AAA…is this what 25 is?
Well I’m out of my reading slump but I fear once I finish Sunrise on the Reaping I’ll be back in one. Suzanne really is sitting us down and lecturing us with this one. It’s fantastic!

This weather is starting to feel like double fisting hotdogs for 3 hours straight in uncomfortable plastic stadium chairs!
#spring #baseball
Going to try the new Hunger Games book so fingers crossed 🤞
The reading slump is so freaking real…even mafia romances aren’t helping this time 🥲
