Review: The Kingdom of Back
The Kingdom of Back by Marie LuMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
4.5 books
Pretty stunning book about musical prodigies and faeries.
The layered worlds, the dreams, the music, and the relationships. It's beautifully written, stunning, magical.
And the author's note is worth reading/listening to as well. Do that.

Review: Broken Miles
Broken Miles by Claire KingsleyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is such a great introduction to the Miles family. As this is my second read through, I can say that I still enjoy this just as much today as I did when I first read it. Fun, sweet, sexy second-chance romance between Roland and Zoe.
I chose to listen to it this go 'round and let me just tell you that Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell nail these characters.

Review: The Scorpio Races
The Scorpio Races by Maggie StiefvaterMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I'm sad that it's January and I'm just now finishing this story, but life happened and other books happened and I really wanted my children on this journey. Needless to say, they jumped ship and it took me a bit to get over that betrayal.
So I went back to Thisby alone. I've spent my time with Sean and Puck and I can't think of a better way to bring in a new year.
If this is how 2020 starts, I have a feeling it's going to be a solid year. Because what could be better than the island of Thisby? November Cakes? George Holly? Cor? Sean? Puck? Finn?
Nothing is better.
This is a great story and one I will visit again in October, as is my tradition.
(review posted on Jan 1 2020.)
``````
Every year, in October, I take a trip to Thisby. I wait for the water horses to come out of the sea. I wait for the training, the tourists, the November cakes.
I wait.
And I wait.
And I wait.
And every year, in October, I fall in love with all of Thisby. I let it grow around me. I let it whisper into my ears and I let the salty air fill my nose and I hear the drums of the Scorpio Races.
Every year.
Every year, October brings my favorite characters back to me.
This year was no different. It is no different.
Because The Scorpio Races is the kind of story that lives in you. It's the kind of story that you find yourself never wanting to leave. It's the kind of story that makes you feel at home.
I find myself enamored with Kate Connelly. Puck Connelly. Sean Kendrick. Dove. Corr. Finn. Gabe. Tommy Falk and his pretty mouth. The Grattons. And Mutt Malvern. I find myself completely taken in when I walk the streets of Skarmouth. I find myself saying two hail marys and a colombo because I was right awful this week and Father Mooneyham just isn't believing me properly.
I find myself looking for my race colors.
I find myself looking for the red stallion with a lone rider on its back.
I find myself looking for more.
And when it's all said and done, and my time on Thisby comes to a close, I find myself wanting to open the book back to the beginning and start again.

Review: The Mogul and the Muscle
The Mogul and the Muscle by Claire KingsleyMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was such a feel good, laugh out loud, sexy romance. I loved Jude and Cameron. The chemistry leapt from the pages, the banter is fun, and the sexy times are HAWT.

Review: All Your Perfects
All Your Perfects by Colleen HooverMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I don't know what kind of voodoo CoHo has with her writing, but I find myself crying every single time I read one.
Every.
Time.
I liked the whole setup of this book. I liked the way the characters are introduced. I like how the chapters alternate between past and present.
Graham was solid. He was a force. He was so in love with his wife and you could feel it in every single page. You just knew he would move Heaven and Hell to make Quinn happy. And he would always love her.
Quinn loved Graham. Quinn loved the life they were leading, but she felt something was missing. She struggled. She hurt. She felt pain she couldn't explain. And she felt in adequate. She felt as if she was drowning and losing her husband and she didn't know how to change it. She didn't know how to make it better.
But she has Graham. And Graham just might be strong enough for the both of them.
God, I loved Graham.
And I loved this book.

Review: The Guinevere Deception
The Guinevere Deception by Kiersten WhiteMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
I don't have much to say about this one. I think I expected too much and it didn't meet those expectations.
Nothing I can do about that.
It's one of those situations where I'm pretty sure it was just me and that you would enjoy the book without a problem.
It wasn't my day for this book.

Review: Caraval
Caraval by Stephanie GarberMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Just know I absolutely LOVED this book. LOVED. IT.
The mystery, the suspense, the magic, the darkness, the possibility of more.
It was all so well written, so beautifully detailed, so perfect.
So, why the four star rating you ask?
Because this could have been the most amazing standalone ever.
And I was satisfied.
I didn't need more.
But there was an epilogue.
And epilogue that guarantees I have two more books to read.
Yeah, yeah, I knew it was a trilogy going into it, but it didn't have to be. I could have finished the last chapter and been content. Happy. Satisfied.
But then the epilogue took that satisfaction away and left me with more questions.
Stupid epilogue.

Review: Work in Progress
Work in Progress by B.J. HarveyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Have you ever had one of those neighbors that was loud and obnoxious and didn't seem to know that he was being loud and obnoxious?
No?
Well, lucky you. April can't say the same--at least not when she first meets Jamie Cook. Because he's just that: loud, obnoxious, and drunk.
And so begins the natural back-and-forth banter that spurs this book along. Jamie and April are so much fun and sweet. The push-and-pull, the toe-to-toe, the chemistry.... It's all there and it makes for one heck of a book.
The kind of book you start and don't put down.
BJ Harvey put together a family and a world that I wish I lived in. The Cook brothers with their quick wit, banter, and hotness. April and Axel and Betty with their love and open hearts.
I just want to crawl into this world and be a friendly neighbor, a love interest, a best friend.
Minus that Cubs thing. I can't get down with that, but I can enjoy a game at Wrigley--assuming one of the Cook brothers wanna take me.
