4.25 out of 5 stars Try it in your best British accent: "WHOT?!" It's almost as much fun as this book. Goodreads.com: The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy, by Mackenzi Lee (Montague Siblings #2) Felicity Montague, the younger, but in many ways superior, sibling to Henry Montague of The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and … Continue reading Review: The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy
3.5 out of 5 stars Decent and solid, but this series deserved a little better in the end. Goodreads.com: The Queen of Nothing, by Holly Black (The Folk of the Air #3) I prefer to read any series back-to-back, yet always fall for pretty cover art on the shelf and end up waiting a year … Continue reading Review: The Queen of Nothing
2.5 out of 5 stars Goodreads.com: Shiver, by Maggie Stievater (The Wolves of Mercy Falls #1) I really don't care about werewolves. So despite a deep appreciation for Maggie Stievater's other work, I had never picked up the Shiver series. Then circumstance kicked in: it was $0.50 at Goodwill, with a strong chance I'd have … Continue reading Review: Shiver
2.5 out of 5 stars Tella thinks about herself for 478 pages. The End. Goodreads.com: Finale, by Stephanie Garber (Caraval #3) Mehhhhhhhhh. I didn't love Caraval (3.5 stars) or Legendary (2.5 stars). This whole series talks about and drips with and swims in magic, without actually feeling very magical. My overall take on the first … Continue reading Review: Finale

Goodreads.com: The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue, by Mackenzi Lee (Montague Siblings #1) Henry Montague, our dear Monty, is an absolute … Continue reading Review: The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue
4 out of 5 stars What a weird, off-kilter, and absolutely lovey book. Goodreads.com: Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, by Gail Honeyman Eleanor Oliphant is a sad picture when we meet: socially incapable, rigidly routine, alcoholic. She's desperately lonely and desperate to be left alone. Over the course of her story, that changes. She has … Continue reading Review: Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine
3.5 out of 5 stars I've gone back and forth in this series, giving increasingly better ratings as the story progressed:Three Dark Crowns got 3 stars, One Dark Throne got 3.5, and Two Dark Reigns got 4 stars. I had high hopes for the final installment - book four, though it has the number five … Continue reading Review: Five Dark Fates
