Review: A Court of Wings and Ruin
A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. MaasMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
"They say you came back different. Came back wrong. I never bother to tell them I think you came back right. Came back right at last. - Alis
Can we just talk about Alis for a minute? She's amazing. She sees through the falsehoods and what was happening to Feyre. Even Lucien saw, but didn't defend. Didn't say anything. But Alis, she knew and she begged Mor to take her. Alis is a freaking low key hero.
★︎ No one is going to convince me that Lucien and Feyre don't have chemistry. Once I've finished the series, I'm totally looking up fanfiction about them.
★︎ Really wish we could get some of Lucien's inner monologue about these twins. Feyre was right. He would definitely have some comments. lol

Review: Spelled
Spelled by Betsy SchowMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I really liked all the fairy tale elements. However I would have liked them more if this wasn't so Oz based. They either shouldn't be there or make it a general fairy tale.

Review: Murder on the Orient Express
Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha ChristieMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
From the get-go, this cast is a tad big for me. Especially when listening. However, the individual interrogations/interviews helped a lot.
Can old women be cozy? Cause if they can, Mrs. Hubbard is cozy.A cozy busybody, but nonetheless. I understand why they all got so sick of hearing about her daughter. I don't think I could let Ratchett get by without telling me anything. I'm not McQueen. I'm nosy. lol Really enjoyed the valet on the audio. He sounded exactly like Snape somehow. Man, Princesses and Colonels and Counts and Countesses all aboard one train. Fancy.
(view spoiler)
I mean, if Ratchett already had the letter, why wait to get someone to investigate? Just to chance meeting Poirot on the train and then chance him taking the case? Ummm, I doubt it. Here's the thing about this plot. After Ratchett is killed, nothing actually happens. Interviews and that's it. No real action. And yet..., somehow I was rapt. I hung on every word from these people and just guessed (much like Poirot himself) what was going to be exposed next. (view spoiler)
Poirot just straight up said, Yeah not gonna take your case cause I don't like your face. Big oof
Women are like that. They have great strength when they are enraged. Man, he's just trying to shift some blame. Tsktsk
Use the little grey matter of the mind.
He uses curling tongs on his moustache. I just can't. hahaha

Review: Takedown Twenty
Takedown Twenty by Janet EvanovichMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
These plots are just getting more and more wild. And redundant. How is that possible?
Redundancy:
⬥︎ Stephanie and Grandma are in trouble i.e. kidnapped, almost killed, etc. --The cement was new. At least she wasn't blown up.
⬥︎ Ranger and Morelli to the rescue.
⬥︎ Stephanie threatens to/gets another job, but we all know she'll go back to bail bonds. -- Hey, Steph, it's okay. I couldn't be a butcher either. That cow tongue.
⬥︎ Back and forth romance with Morelli.
⬥︎ Almost Sex with Ranger.
⬥︎ Cars get blown up/stolen.
⬥︎ Grandma is out wildin'.
⬥︎ Mrs. Plum trying to get Stephanie to get married and quit her job.
Wild:
⬥︎ Well, a giraffe. Seriously? I mean, it's like Evanovich has to include a wild animal in every story now.
By now, everyone knows who the characters are. Do we need to go over how hot Ranger is and what is job is? Do we need to constantly be reminded every other chapter of every book that Lula was a hoe? Maybe these characters hit their peak? Maybe they just don't have anything else to do? Maybe that's why Stephanie tries out new jobs? Because she's plateaued as a bounty hunter? Maybe?
☞︎ Ranger in spandex, though??
☞︎ "You can stop ironing. I don't have cancer. I'm not pregnant. Grandma isn't spending her social security check on online Bingo."
"There's always tomorrow."

Review: Once Upon a Broken Heart
Once Upon a Broken Heart by Stephanie GarberMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Still reading. Stay tuned for updates
Excuse me, while I just dive right into a fairy tale.
I already absolutely adore this writing! Whimsical and fun and I just love it. Oh, and I'm on page 4. :)
First, the Bell. Is the Bell considered a character? If not, it should be. Sniffing out shifty dudes from page 1.
All stories are made of both truth and lies. What matters is the way we believe in them.
