Pile of Books

Hi everyone!  Up until now, I've just been reading books like crazy.  Now though, it's time to go though the pile of books I've read and sort them so I know which ones to blog about.  I would just write about all of them right now but...
 
Well with a pile of books this big, I decided to sort it into sections.  A couple books I've already blogged about (like the Daughter of Smoke and Bone and Lemonade Mouth Puckers Up).  Some I've told you I was going to blog about (The Thirteen Treasures Trilogy, I haven't forgotten, those are next!).  And others are on my list!  I'm trying to be on top of things this year and although it hasn't been working too well I'm still trying to blog once a week, so I should get through most (if not all) of the books shown.  Thanks!

Reluctantly Yours by Erin Hawkins

 Thank you to Social Butterfly PR and Erin Hawkins for sending me an e-ARC of this book to read and review!  As always, this review is my honest opinion and can be found on my Goodreads profile as well as this blog. This story is great and the chemistry between Barrett and Chloe is a delight!  Enemies-to-lovers and fake dating are always a great combination of tropes and Erin Hawkins writes them very well. Even when we as readers have an inkling or two of how this is going to turn out in the end (it is a romance, after all), it feels fresh and exciting as we get to know the characters, their motivations, and the personalities that make them click so well.   I am a big character-driven reader and I really enjoyed reading both Chloe and Barrett's perspectives.  These character have dimensions that lend more  to  the story than just the romance, while also being delightfully attracted to each other and keeping the romance part of the book  adequately  spiced. Don’t let the adorable c

Bravely by Maggie Stiefvater

Disney, bold & brave, magical 5 stars As a huge fan of Maggie Stiefvater’s, I was to excited to receive an ARC of Bravely from Disney Books on NetGalley. After reading it I can confidently say I cannot imagine another author who would have done justice to the continuation of Merida’s story.   “Red hair, keen eyes, quick brain, built to start fires but not to put them out.” - Prologue, p. xiii Stiefvater writes in such a way that magic is an intrinsic part of every story, even when it is not fully present.  The imagery is vivid, the emotions are strong, the plot is easy to follow yet hard to predict. As Merida makes a bet with gods of old and takes on the challenge of changing her family before destruction comes for DunBroch, readers get sucked into a story about family and nature, growth and magic.  This story is also an amazing continuation of the Disney/Pixar film Brave. The wild triplets are grown boys now, with their personalities expanded and separate from each other. Fergus
