Luckiest Girl Alive - Book Review

I had seen this book all over social media but didn't know much about it. One day I was on Libby and the audiobook was available. Since that's my typical method of getting books in during the week (since I can listen to them at work), and it has a comparison to a Gillian Flynn novel, I jumped on the chance to check it out. Again, I didn't really have any idea what I was getting into. " HER PERFECT LIFE IS A PERFECT LIE. As a teenager at the prestigious Bradley School, Ani FaNelli endured a shocking, public humiliation that left her desperate to reinvent herself. Now, with a glamorous job, expensive wardrobe, and handsome blue blood fiancΓ©, she’s this close to living the perfect life she’s worked so hard to achieve. But Ani has a secret. There’s something else buried in her past that still haunts her, something private and painful that threatens to bubble to the surface and destroy everything." That's the synopsis taken from the Goodreads page. What it ...

Mid-Year Freak Out! A Wrap Up of the First Half of the Year

Hello! In this post, I'm going to participate in the aforementioned Mid-Year Freak Out Tag. A lot of Booktubers posted theirs in the month of June, but I like to do things a little late around here 😊 I will link to the original poster of the tag from several years ago at the bottom of this post. I will also, obviously, be writing out the questions as I answer them. Each response will also have the Goodreads link attached. Get your snacks and drinks, and settle in. It's going to be a long one... Let's get to it! 1) Best book you've read so far in 2019? I actually have two responses for this question. First, I read  Verity  earlier this year and loved it.      Then, in May, I read  A Discovery Of Witches . It's been on my TBR for years and years, but I finally got around to it after they transitioned it into a TV series. I knew I'd want to read it before I watched it, and I'm so glad I did! 2) Best sequel you've read so far in 2019? If we are...

Five Feet Apart - Book Review

I checked out this Audiobook via Libby and listened it in 2 days (only because I HAD to stop in between!). Here's the Goodreads synopsis, followed by my thoughts.  πŸ“šπŸ“šπŸ“šπŸ“šπŸ“šπŸ“šπŸ“šπŸ“šπŸ“šπŸ“šπŸ“šπŸ“šπŸ“šπŸ“šπŸ“šπŸ“šπŸ“š Stella Grant likes to be in control—even though her totally out of control lungs have sent her in and out of the hospital most of her life. At this point, what Stella needs to control most is keeping herself away from anyone or anything that might pass along an infection and jeopardize the possibility of a lung transplant. Six feet apart. No exceptions. The only thing Will Newman wants to be in control of is getting out of this hospital. He couldn’t care less about his treatments, or a fancy new clinical drug trial. Soon, he’ll turn eighteen and then he’ll be able to unplug all these machines and actually go see the world, not just its hospitals. Will’s exactly what Stella needs to stay away from. If he so much as breathes on Stella she could lose her spot on the tr...
