My favorite book of the year! Drew‘s voice is so dryly funny it set me off over and over again. I can‘t get over the reviews interspersed in the text giving it all an over the top feel. Serious “Shameless” vibes made me guffaw on more than one occasion. I loved the fierce protectiveness of the siblings and the insane plan they pulled off together. Amazing! 😂

I liked this one. Dystopia where humans have turned into insects & feed off humans. So🤢

It bills itself a mix of Mad Max & Attack on Titan. I‘ve never seen that latter but feel free to clue me in.

Action-heavy shonen. There may also be an anime of the series.

6 volumes total I think? I am checking out volume 2.

Serotonin Hmm…humans eating humans I‘m okay with. But humans turning into insects? 😵‍💫😨 6d

A mystical island with even more mystical creatures! But the island natives are not happy to have visitors..

It‘s was ok but I was hoping for a bit more adventure from it.

😍😍 love!!! Wyn was well deep into her trust issues, but I really enjoyed their story and all the tension between her and Three. The side characters were also all important and well-developed. 👍🏼 from me

JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS I know! Dana is SO annoying in this one. I haven‘t read the SVT book about Arthur in 20+ years but my man Arthur definitely deserves better than Dana! 😆 2mo

This Teen/YA outing is an enemies-to-love story. It was cute with good humor, a lovable heroine and was an overall good read. Blythe and Briggs, as neighbors, grew up together as rivals/pranksters but at one point Blythe developed a crush on Briggs which was abruptly and humiliatingly severed. Now after five years of not seeing him, Briggs has returned following his father‘s death to try and salvage his family‘s estate from debt. Blythe, also in🔻

robinb a similar financial situation, is trying to market her own innovative apiary business to secure investors. As the two realize that they are working toward basically the same basic goal, Blythe convinces Briggs to solicit for her business through his wealthy connections while she will help secure a wealthy fiancé for him.
My favorite things about this story were the humor between the protagonists/co-stars, the strength, gumption and caring nature?

robinb of Blythe, and Briggs‘ growth arc through the story (I started off as not his biggest fan, which I thought would be a dealbreaker, but I ended up applauding him). At first, the sometimes more modern vernacular and eschewing of some of the traditions/mores of the time threw me, but I got past that.

All in all, I enjoyed this one. 4/5⭐️

Teen fiction. A little dark but also funny and heart-warming. Two teenage sisters cover up their mom's death so that they and their little brother can stay together instead of being sent to their different fathers. They discover that mom had some shady schemes going. Some things seemed implausible but I enjoyed the story. Good character development and setting.

My brain was awful to me yesterday and today is not looking so hot either. I just want to lay in bed and read my book, but I have a day job.

I can‘t remember where I found this book, but I enjoyed it way more than I expected. This was written at a time when stereotypes weren‘t kind, but liked the story between the two main characters. The mullet on the cover kills me though! 😂 😂

TheAromaofBooks I love the 80s habit of having the characters in the cover have various 80s things going on rather than attempting to make them actually match the era of the book. I have read several Grace Livingston Hill books (can you get milder romance than that??) originally published in the 20s with dramatic 80s covers and they always crack me up 7mo
keys_on_fire @TheAromaofBooks Yes! I called out the mullet because your eyes are drawn there first, but the female model also has a much for 1980‘s ‘do 😂 I may have to look for the ones your mentioned! 7mo
