Reviews | April 2019

April started off as a really good reading month, but ended up not being so great towards the end because that's when I went into a reading slump that I couldn't really get out of it. I spent this month trying to catch up to my Goodreads goal so I read a lot of shorter books. It would've worked out if I kept it up but unfortunately, life had other plans. But, reviews! Reviews Bossman by Vi Keeland I don't know what it was about this book that didn't do it for me. I really thought this was going to be another one of those steamy books I love, but for the most part, it was okay. I think the past vs. present story line wasn't something I really enjoyed. While I get that the author was trying to show the tragic past of the male protagonist, I felt like it was dragged on too long. It could've been told as a prologue and then I would've felt more attachment seeing his side of the story as well. I found this to be a little predictable and overall meh in the sex...

Review + Giveaway | November 9 by Colleen Hoover

Title: November 9 by Colleen Hoover
Series: N/A
Genre: New Adult - Contemporary/Romance
Publication: November 10th 2015 by Atria Books
Format: eARC
Source: Tour | Netgalley
Rating: ★★★★★

Synopsis: Fallon meets Ben, an aspiring novelist, the day before her scheduled cross-country move. Their untimely attraction leads them to spend Fallon’s last day in L.A. together, and her eventful life becomes the creative inspiration Ben has always sought for his novel. Over time and amidst the various relationships and tribulations of their own separate lives, they continue to meet on the same date every year. Until one day Fallon becomes unsure if Ben has been telling her the truth or fabricating a perfect reality for the sake of the ultimate plot twist.

Thoughts: When you choose to stay up past your bedtime, that's when you know it's real. I haven't wanted or even considered staying up late in a long time for a book, but November 9 made me feel all the feels I hadn't felt in a long time. I kept seeing reviews left and right about how amazing this book was, but of course from experience, that's usually when you know a book is too good to be true and are left disappointed.

Fortunately, that wasn't the case with November 9. This book pulled and broke my heart, made me laugh out loud and cry in my bed at night while I held on to it tight. I loved both Fallon and Ben, loved how they were together, and really was just rooting for them the whole time.

This was my first Hoover book and I can't express enough how excited I am to read more of her books. This book really kicked me out of the reading slump I was in and I can't say enough how amazing it is. I definitely recommend it to romance lovers, NA readers and contemporary fans alike. This is one you can't miss!

Audio Book Review: Son by Lois Lowry

Title: Son Author: Lois Lowry Narrator:  Bernadette Dunne “They called her Water Claire.” When the young girl washed up on their shore, no one knew she had been a Vessel. That she had carried a Product. That it had been carved from her belly. Stolen.  Claire had had a son. She was supposed to forget him, but that was impossible. When he was taken from their community, she knew she had to follow. And so her journey began. But here in this wind-battered village Claire is welcomed as one of their own. In the security of her new home, she is free and loved. She grows stronger. As tempted as she is by the warmth of more human kindness than she has ever known, she cannot stay.
