Not my cup of tea
Not my type of book. Story was rather bland but that's how I feel romantic books. The characters were a bit annoying, like teenagers having a 'relationship' or an extended episode of Dawson's Creek. It's about a man and woman who attempt to have a relationship despite having secrets - that's the extent of the book.

Multiple perspectives done right
I have loved this debut book from author Riley Redgate for years. It was the first time I had ever seen a pan character in a book and that really helped me during my coming out process. It also tackles something I love about books, mixed perspective. Seven different narrators that all have different vices and lives and secrets.

This was my favorite of the 3 books. I loved that the bad guy got what was coming to him finally. I loved the two main characters and their love. I loved how even though it started as something else for him he fell for her and they both got married. I loved everything about this, I couldn't put it down. Amazing

Wonderland meets London
I really like this series, I just started book 8 today and can barely put it down. It blends all the characters from Wonderland into the real world beautifully. I highly recommend it.

In the beginning half I wasn't overly impressed - the books came across as far too much like filler and that Scarlet's grandmother was more important than Scarlet and we spent more time following Cinder about than we did Scarlet.

The second half improved a great deal with lots of action and all the characters included which I liked.

I really like Wolf's character

I am still really enjoying this series.

The books are mostly lights hearted and fun, it is a teen romance, however you still get very invested in the storylines and characters.

Although the main story is about Keatyn’s stalker there are lots of smaller storylines that make up Keatyn’s daily life, this helps to make the story more enjoyable and realistic.

Clans
A whole world
Right in the childhood
These were my life as a kid, thought I'd do a reread and they were just as amazing. Yes compared to most books they are quite simply written but the characters, the lore, clans, EVERYTHING about them are just exciting and thought through. You can't just read one you need them all.

This is the second and last book of Attack on Titan No Regrets. The two books are about Levi and Erwin, and how Levi came to join the Survey Corps. Book 2 ends as Levi becomes the Levi that we know from the original series. The author also adds a couple of side stories, which are an extra bit of fun.

This book just goes on and on about the love triangle between Edward, Bella and Jacob. To be honest it's painful, Bella is just as annoying as ever and the 'likeable' Jacob just seems to have gone. I wouldn't say its worse than the previous books in the series but neither is it any better...just same ol' same ol'.

One of the earliest official Star Wars tie-in novels, I remember reading this when it first came out in about '94.

What's interesting is how perception changes: at the time, I remember thinking it was one of the best books I'd read, but now (with time behind me) it's not quite as good as I remember. Still worth a read, though!
