How I Rate

0 star - I couldn't finish it. Can not recommend. Definitely not the target audience.

1 star - Probably didn't finish but tried.

2 star - Not for me, wasn't bad but wasn't good.

3 star - Decent but still not something I would want to read again. Can't recommend.

4 star - Good! Enjoyed and can recommend to a certain audience.

5 star - Amazing! Excellent! Wow! Everyone should read this.

purple heart - I want to hug this work. Made me feel things, good things.

Reading Habits:

I will pass on books if I don’t like their covers. I try very hard to push through and read to the end even if I am not a fan. I tend to rate higher compared to most because just because I didn’t like it doesn't make it a terrible book. And if I really didn’t like it I tend to not even bother rating it.

*Disclaimer*

All reviews are my own, personal thoughts and opinions on a book. I loved reading and talking about books and writing which is why I review them. I don't usually write reviews for books I don't like, but in the event that I do, it is usually based on personal preference and not that the writing or author was bad.

Thank you!

WWW Wednesday 6/22/22

Welcome to WWW Wednesday! This is a meme hosted by Sam of Taking on a World of Words . A fun midweek check-in where you answer three questions: What are you currently reading? What did you recently finish reading? What do you think you'll read next? Currently I am reading, Ace by Angela Chen. A book that I have had for about a year and am rereading it and finishing it. I am annotating it and having a lot of fun so far. Also I picked up To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Christopher Paolini at the library earlier, but haven't started it just yet. I missed last weeks WWW Wednesday post so I am combining last weeks and this weeks. It been a bit of a slow time for me. I have been reading more fic and such online than traditionally printed material. Also I have been struggling to find something that actually interests me. I have been getting bored rather quickly. Recently, I finished Gamer + Cat Vol. 1. It's a super cute slice of life and one I will definitely be looking o

Delilah Green Doesn't Care - Ashley Herring Blake

5/5 ⭐ This queer rom-com with its surprisingly on-point introspection on what a healthy relationship looks like and well-developed characters will leave readers' hearts a little more full than before. And swooning for their own Delilah Green. I loved this queer romance, it’s one of the most well-written ones I have read so far. The characters were so well developed, the usual tropes and aspects I am used to seeing in romance novels were not there at all or written so well that I couldn’t be annoyed they were used at all. Blake gives us two women both at very different points in their lives but both struggling with coming to terms with events from their pasts. I will say that for a romance it was quite emotional on all fronts. Familial, friendships, and romantically. But I think it just enriched the story and made it more relatable to the readers. It was well balanced throughout. All in all, a solid, well-developed queer romance that I recommend to anyone looking for something fresh

Certain Dark Things - Silvia Moreno-Garcia

5/5 ⭐ A fresh take on the old classic, Silvia Moreno-Garcia manages to reimagine vampire lore into something completely unique. Take whatever previous notions you have of vampire stories and toss them out the window. She managed to introduce such an interesting take on vampires, ones that take on aspects from their cultures like Alt with ties to Aztec mythology and so on. All of these subspecies of vampire builds on the richness of the world Moreno-Garcia created. Alt flees to Mexico City, a closed nation free from any vampire after her family is killed by a rival gang of Necro vampires(a deadly European subspecies of vampires). With only Cualli, her loyal and deadly dog, and a garbage boy named Domingo helping her, she has to flee both the Necros and human gangs who wish her dead. Vampire gangs are definitely a new one for me. The characters come to life on the page within the excellent worldbuilding. You just get lost in the story, captivated until the very end. The diversity of t
