For Review:
Beyond Summerland, by Jenny Lecoat. I found this to be a pretty depressing read.
Not You Again, by Ingrid Pierce. This was a fun read, although the lack of communication was frustrating.
Writing on Empty, by Natalie Goldberg. This was…beyond disappointing. It was just a bunch of whining and sitting around feeling sorry for herself, and exactly zero actually helpful advice. Don’t bother.
The Darkness Within Us, by Tricia Levenseller. I enjoyed this read, although I liked the background stuff a bit more than the main plot.
The Backtrack, by Erin La Rosa. This was an interesting read. I thought the scenes in the past were very vivid, and the details made me laugh and shake my head.
Dashed, by Amanda Quain. This was such a fun read!
The Lost Story, by Meg Shaffer. I very much enjoyed this story! It had a bit of a Chronicles of Narnia feel, and I found it an engrossing read, filled withe everyday magic.
The Haunting of Hecate Cavendish, by Paula Brackston. I’ve enjoyed Brackston’s other books, so I was excited to read the start of a new series. And it did no disappoint! The historical details are so well-done, and I loved Hecate.
That Prince is Mine, by Jayci Lee. This was a cute read!
Castle of the Cursed, by Romina Garber. This was a very atmospheric, fairly dark read with bits of scifi and family drama mixed together with fantasy and romance.
Just Because: Praying the Names of God, by Ann Spangler. I enjoyed this weekly devotional.
Single Today, by Ryan Wekenman. This was a great audio read.
Left Unfinished:
On the Surface, by Rachel Mcguire. I read 10%, but the characters just all seemed like terrible people, and I wasn’t in the mood for that.
Ladykiller, by Katherine Wood. The first 15% of this felt like a trainwreck in slow motion, involving people I didn’t like, so, no.
The Bright Sword, by Lev Grossman. I only got about 5% into this because it just didn’t hold my attention.
Three Keys, by Laura Pritchett. The MC bored me and I wasn’t interested in her at all.
The Summer Club, by Hannah McKinnon. I read 15% of this and just found it boring, with very surface-level characters.
