a book I hated but everyone loved

Call Me By Your Name by André Aciman
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

I feel like im the odd one out here but I didn't like this book at all in fact I found it cringy and gross similar to the way the virgin suicides and lolita made me feel I don't know if that was the point but if so nailed it. this is the second book I've read by this author and hated so it could be that.

for anyone who doesnt know this book is about a 17 year old boy and his attraction and love affair with a 24 year old professor who is staying with his family for the summer. the fact that this is a romance between two men does not bother me at all. the age gap is what really bothers me the fact that it read to me like oliver was taking advantage of this 17 year old kid who is so confused by what he wants and how he feels for most if not all of this novel and the first love scene read as non-consensual to me. it also really pissed me off that near the end of the book Elios parents seem to be aware and approve of what's going on what parent in their right mind would be ok with that?


In the end I didn't like this book it made me so uncomfortable.

Cruel Prince thoughts

Title: The cruel Prince
Author: Holly Black
Series: The folk of the air book 1
Genre: Fantasy
Age Range: Young Adult
My Rating:🌟🌟🌟

This is only the second holly black book I've read the first being The Coldest Girl in Coldtown and after being meh on that book I was hesitant to pick up another one from her that being said I enjoyed this one way more then I thought I would. I enjoyed the world of this book the atmosphere and the Fae the story was interesting enough to keep me in the story but there was something I really could not stand! The characters, their is only one in this book that I really didn't like at some point and that is Vivienne the rest of them were at some point in the narrative were just horrible Jude the main character just got under my skin Prince C and his friends were all just nasty and disgusting let's just say every single other person annoyed me (and there were so many too many) This book was very plot driven for me and had it not been for the characters I would have enjoyed it so much more. Will I continue with the series? Yes. Why? A part of me enjoys being annoyed I guess.

Lair of dreams by Libba Bray

Title: Lair of dreams
Author: Libba Bray
Series: The diviners book 2
Genre: Fantasy, Historical fiction, Horror
Age range: Young adult/teen
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I read the diviners and really liked it but I loved this!

I love that this book has a big cast of such diverse and complex characters, and that we get to see them each grow and develop. I was easily able to slip right back into then head of whomever was the narrator at the time. Dreams have always fascinated me and her descriptions were so good I could see it vividly in my mind

Lastly one thing I liked about this more then the first one is the fact that got to know our antagonist and like her before we knew who she was unlike John Hobbs who was bad and ruthless the whole time Ling may was just a girl who was used and taken advantage of and died in the worst way and like getting to know her outside of the bad things she was doing.

Overall this book was just amazing Libba Bray created a story and characters that are complex beautify written and easy to get lost in i can't wait yet am sad to finish the series.

Wonder woman warbringer by Leigh Bardugo

Wonder Woman: Warbringer by Leigh Bardugo
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I'm not a fan of Leigh Bardugo's Grisha universe or of DC, so going into this I was skeptical, I was so pleasantly surprised by this!

Growing up I knew who wonder woman was of course but I didn't know much of her story in fact when I thought of the Amazon's I thought of Xena.

I loved the characters in this book the relationship between Diana and Alia was so well written I could really feel the connection between them.

I also liked how this book was more focused on sisterhood and friendship rather then romance overall a solid read that makes me excited to continue the series!.

Tempest series review

Title: Tempest Revealed
Author: Tracy Deebs
series: Tempest book 3
Genres: fantasy mermaids
age: young adult/teen
My ratiing: 2.75/5

This series was ok when held up against other mermaid books I've read. Some things that really bugged me was tempest inability to pick one guy and stick with him i feel like for most of books one and two and the first chapters of book three when she was with one guy but wanted the other. Also to me the big fight climax scenes in book two and three had way to much in common and were predictable. I found myself really liking the side characters in this series way more then I did the main one but thats really not uncommon for me. Overall while I didn't hate this book there were too few things to really hold my interest and it became really predictable so that's why I'm giving it 2.75/5 didn't dislike it enough for two stars but didn't enjoy it enough for 3.

Blame by Jeff Abbott book reciew

Blame by Jeff Abbott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have enjoyed everything I have ever read by Jeff Abbott and this is no exception I had to keep turning the page to see what would happen next to find out who live danger was. That ending wow I literally yelled at the book when I read it i was not expecting that not at all. I always like books more that keep me guessing until the end and this book achieved that I rooted for Jane the whole time had a strong dislike for perri and was blown away by the ending overall a fast paced enjoyable read!
