Auburn (57 KP) rated Wesley James Ruined My Life in Books
Apr 10, 2019
Wesley and Quinn have a love to hate relationship. She blames him for her parents divorce and spends the entire book trying to get even. Cool premise, but it falls a bit flat for me.
the cover shows a food truck, but that doesn't show up until like 3/4 of the way through so I am not quite sure why it's the cover? In fact the whole cover is quite deceptive as to what is actually in the book. But moving on.
While I enjoy a good hate to love story this was just meh, the character of Quinn was naive, dumb, and easy to peg. I just couldn't get into it.

I must admit I was not in love with this book when I started it. I kept putting it down and walking away. Sonya just rubbed me the wrong way and I had no connection or want to hear her story.
Finally I made a point to finish it and I am glad I did. The plot was easily followed and you could tell where it was going but you found yourself enthralled with the nuances.
That is not to say I got to like Sonya better until the very end. Her need to fill the void and follow really got to me. She had no real self and just ugh. But 3 stars for the plot and originality.

Auburn (57 KP) rated A Date with Darcy (Bookish Boyfriends, #1) in Books
Apr 10, 2019
Bookish boyfriend's is a book for any starry eyed reader. Let's be honest at some point in time every reader has thought "boys(or girls) are better in books". Or found ourselves imagining what it would be like to be the other person in the book getting a relationship with said amazing character. Well this book brings it to life.
Merri gets to live her dream of book boyfriend's and finds out maybe we need to look deeper than just a first glance/dream idea.
I absolutely adored this book, the character, the references, and that it wasn't just cut and dry predictable. I sincerely hope the author gives us a glimpse into another characters story in the future!

BobbiesDustyPages (1259 KP) rated Audition (1999) in Movies

Not going to lie this was a hard one to watch.
As someone who has suffered from Trypanophobia for nearly my entire life Audition was one of the hardest movies for me to watch but damn did I not only watch it all the way through but I've managed to watch it more than a few times.
Asami is just such the perfect meek and obedient seeming woman that from the start you just can't help but trust her but the moment the inevitable shit hits the fan she is one of the most terrifying woman ever because through it all she still manages to keep this innocent child like quality to herself.

Dana (24 KP) rated Oryx and Crake (Madd Addam #1) in Books

So, again, I can't say I am a huge fan of Atwood's writing style. I read this book for my book club and did not enjoy it in the slightest. Yes, it made me uncomfortable, especially with the child pornography mentions throughout. There were interesting ideas, like with the new society inside the bubble, but those ideas were not strong enough to make me enjoy the book.
The characters were unlikable, not in a good way that makes them interesting. I just wanted to finish the book to finish it. I didn't really have any strong feeling for any of the story.
I wouldn't say I was bored, but I just didn't enjoy it.

I love Sloan - I think Oriana is a bit annoying - woe is me until further toward the end where she gets more into herself - guess that's growth as a character which I like anyway.
I love Vanek too - he's my bae - I can't believe I haven't read his book yet and that makes me sad, just a taste of it at the end, wahhh!!!
Max and Dominick are just background noise to me in this book - neither stood out and neither were special to me in any way.
I love hockey books and the story and the end were pretty sweet too. Random thoughts - I adore this series though perhaps I'll go to Vaneks book next!
