Full of mysteries and twists and turns. Should have been a perfect book for me except the fact that all the characters were insufferable in some way. And I mean all of them. The cliffhanger ending also didn’t help. Still a fun read. 4/5⭐️ #booksky #books #TheRavenScholar
Simply one of the best heist stories I’ve ever read. Character development is top notch with smart writing that make you appreciate the subtleties of human emotion. The payoff? Immensely satisfying. 4.5/5 ⭐️ #CrookedKingdom #booksky #books
Book description: “…darkly humorous…” INSTABUY. SOLD. #books
A taxing read. Premise was promising: Jade gives certain people special abilities. Unfortunately, most of this book focused on a gang war with violent bickering back and forth. The personality of the book was also one note: simply dour. A truly flat experience. 3.5/5⭐️ #booksky #books #JadeCity
#ProjectHailMary the film was very good. It captured the essence of the book which was the friendship between Grace and Rocky. Beautifully shot. And I mean gorgeous. But yeah…the book was better lol.
Oooooh yay! Don’t you love these types of messages? #library #books #booksky #CrookedKingdom
I just finished Morning Star and that was phenomenal
You know sometimes picking a book from your TBR can feel overwhelming. Sometimes the simplest solution is the best. Like how this book cover is green, and it’s March 😅 I hope it’s good #booksky #books #JadeCity
The epitome of the genre, “found family.” I honestly can’t find a better example. If you don’t cry happy tears, might be good idea to check for a pulse. The writing was charming, warm, and brimming with child-like whimsy. 4.5/5⭐️ #TheHouseintheCeruleanSea #booksky #books #LGBT
The trilogy was exhausting. Much like the second book, #MorningStar was a constant roller coaster. My heart was beating fast through entirety of the ride - but then - at the end - peace and a warming sense of satisfaction. I got off the ride with a smile on my face. 4.75/5⭐️ #booksky #books
So excited to get #HouseontheCeruleanSea started. I’ve heard nothing but good things. I also even discovered the subreddit r/klunatics. This has to be good, right? #booksky #books
The second book almost gave me a heart attack 😅 I hope I don’t die from all the adrenaline in the final book lol. Wish me luck #MorningStar #PierceBrown #booksky #books
Feb was a solid month. A few favorites added to the list including my first LGBT book (and it was a banger) #booksky #monthlyreadingwrapup #books
#TheLastMurderatheEndoftheWorld mixes two of my favorite genres: post apocalyptic and murder mystery. Glued the entire ride and left with a smile at the end - a rarity when it comes to both genres. Great story, great pacing, great characters, and honestly a great heart-warming end. 4.5/5 ⭐️ #booksky
Part gay romantasy. Part whodunnit mystery. Every part beautiful. The lyrical prose, the mindful consideration of human frailty and inevitable triumph-it filled me with warmth, and I shed a light, joyful tear at the end. 4.5/5⭐️ #AStrangeandStubbornEndurance #booksky #LGBT
This is sincerely the WOKEST book I’ve ever read. Gay marriage, trans rights, MULTIPLE genders…I’m deeply upset. It’s criminal. That I haven’t read this gem earlier 😍 #AStrangeandStubbornEndurance #booksky #books #LGBT
Yall I can’t put this book down. It combines 2 tropes that I love: post-apocalyptic and murder mystery. Let me tell you, I’ve read a 3rd of the book in mere hours tearing through pages and can’t stop. Binge reading is a thing right? #TheLastMurderattheEndoftheWorld #booksky #books
Now you’re speaking my language.
Being a gay man, I’m a tad ashamed that I have not read a mlm/ LGBTQ themed novel yet. That is being rectified now. #AStrangeandStubbornEndurance asks what happens when a newly outed lord becomes betrothed to a…man? I can’t wait to read more. 😏🌈#booksky #books #lgbt
The reason why I love #DungeonCrawlerCarl 😂😂😂 #audiobooks #soundbooth #books
What’s your reading guilty pleasure? Mine is disaster movies. And books. #WorstCaseScenario asks what would happen if an airplane crashed into a nuclear power plant? It was fun, popcorny, and a great palate cleanser. 3.75/5⭐️ #booksky #books
I’ve never read a Viking epic, but I’m sure this would be exemplary of the genre. Brutal. Bloody. Heart pounding. Action sequences are some of the best articulated I’ve ever read. Worthwhile read. 4.25/5⭐️ #booksky #books #ShadowoftheGods
Sometimes it’s just gold.
This book is BRUTAL. And fun. The best part? It’s the women who are doing the brutality. Bad-assery has no gender. #booksky #books #ShadowoftheGods
Honestly, one the most hilarious parts of #DungeonCrawlerCarl is the fact that the AI has a foot fetish. And the voice acting when the AI is “gooning”? Absurd. And hilarious. Also if you haven’t listened to #Soundbooth recordings, you are missing out. soundbooth.app/dungeon-craw...
This was such a good read that it had me questioning what makes a good book. It made me feel smarter just by reading it. It was confident, cunning. Deftly crafted story and nearly flawless. 4.5/5⭐️ #Vicious #VESchwab #booksky #books
Writing was inelegant, often times clumsy. Ultimately, it fell flat at the end…like it was rushed. It felt like the author just didn’t know how to end the story. It felt like a thud as opposed to a soft, graceful landing in the end. Disappointing. 3/5 ⭐️ #MyBestFriendsExorcism #booksky #books
