Forgot to post this on here! I was lucky to get an ARC of You'd Be Mine from NetGalley. It was okay, but as someone not really into country music, it wasn't for me.

I posted reviews for both Cross Ups books on my blog this week.
Book one: Tournament Trouble :https://deannareadsbooks.blogspot.com/2018/12/review-cross-ups-anyones-game-by-sylv.html
Book Two: Anyone's Game: TournamentTrouble-bookreview.html
It's a really great video game book series for the middle grade reader in your life.
I'm was really unsure about this book, Claudia Gray is amazing and proved me wrong. This is about a young and naive Leia and it's truly a coming of age story for her and the rebellion.

I posted this on the blog last week but forgot to post here! I didn't love the second book in the Lara Jeam series as much as the first one, but it was still enjoyable.

The artwork was awesome, but the flow of the story lost me a few times.

This was an awesome non-fiction graphic memoir about finding your history to understand yourself.

I was lucky to have access to an ARC of Robert Jackson Bennett's latest Foundryside thanks to Netgalley. He is fast becoming a favorite. This book was amazing for the world building alone.

Probably not going to review this on my blog since I don't really post DNF reviews. This one had way too many characters. The narrators were fine, but I just hated everyone in this book, I couldn't force myself to read it.
This book just didn't meet my expectations. I was bored, bored, bored and then it got interesting at the very end.

I loved Redshirts, it was so meta. LOVED that Wil Wheaton did the audio. The ending got a little weird, but I still enjoyed it.

I'm re-reading AKA listening to the audiobooks of the Chronicles of Narnia as an adult and boy do I find some of it really heavy handed religious allegory. I definitely don't love the books after Aslan told Lucy she was too young to go to Narnia. HOW CRUEL! Also I'm pretty sure these are just the old books on tape digitalized and there's a different narrator for each book. It's kind of annoying.
This is a short audiobook that I thought I would finish earlier, but I got distracted by others! 😂 where are all my audiobook addicts at?
I had a hard time with this one and I think mostly it was because the writing style annoyed me. It definitely feels authentic to the time period, but I didn't care for it.

I am such a sucker for stories set in a Viking/Nordic-type culture, so when I got the opportunity to review this arc back in March, I was ecstatic. The fighting scenes were really brutal in a good way, and I ended up really enjoying our main protagnist Eelyn. Girl was a savage warrior.
