Blue Lily, Lily Blue by Maggie Stiefvater My rating: 3 of 5 stars A solid 3/5 stars. Meh? I don't know if it was because I was more in the mood for Queen of Shadows , but I didn't LOVE this book. Which is a massive bummer. I really enjoyed the first two books! I don't know how this one didn't grab me? I loved small details, but for the most part I didn't understand what was going on. I found it hard to follow. This could just be me going through a depressive episodes: so if I reread it and love it, I wouldn't be surprised. But right now: I felt no appreciation for this book (aside for the teeniest moments Gansey and Blue shared-- the whole drama with psycho Greenmantle and his wife ?????????????????? NEVER, EVER WANT TO READ THAT AGAIN. I WAS BORED. ) I wish I enjoyed this book. I'm onto The Raven King , but only because it's due ASAP to my library and I don't want to drag this on.

Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas My rating: 4 of 5 stars Read more reviews on my book blog: about a girl SECOND TIME READING: Just a heads up: my opinion of this book has totally changed this time 'round. I LOVED THIS BOOK. Me, finishing the book; my feelings: Rating change: 3 stars to 4 stars. What made me change my rating: MAJOR POINT: I read it slowly this time. I didn't rush like the first time I read this book. I was such a dick when I read this book (initially). I'm going to add some annotations to my first review (below). Enjoy me punching the shit out of past-me. I hate past-me. I was an asshole. I'M SORRY SARAH, ILYSM. PLS FORGIVE MY IGNORANT, UNAPPRECIATIVE, PREVIOUSLY-FAE-HATING ASS. I actually enjoyed Rowan this time. And Manon and Abraxos. AND THIS IS BECAUSE I ACTUALLY LIKE HIGH FANTASY NOW. Before, I was only reading this for the hype. I loathed high fantasy. This didn't add up to a good review, as you can imagine....

Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas My rating: 4 of 5 stars Read more of my book reviews on my blog!--> thehyperlapse.blogspot.com SECOND TIME READING: Rating change: 3 stars is now 4 stars. New thoughts: I am going to annotate my original review which is at the bottom of this one, because I was an idiot. I hated this book the first time 'round, because I skimmed it. I wasn't into high fantasy last time I read it, and really wasn't a fan of Fae. I only made myself read the series because everybody else did. Rereading this series is now a choice, after LOVING ACOTAR. I have found so far, I still love SJM's other series more... but this book, guys. The first part did drag a little, but part two just BLEW ME AWAY. After I started part two, I couldn't put it down. Before that, it was a bit of a chore for me to actually read this book. I am totally viewing ToG (as a series) in a new and different way-- yay. I am falling in love with th...

Owning Her Innocence by Alexa Riley My rating: 2 of 5 stars MY EYES (I read this and Coach at the same time and I kindof got the storylines mixed up but they're similar). View all my reviews

Ral's Woman by Laurann Dohner My rating: 3 of 5 stars Like?? It's typical smut?????? Idk what else to say. I found heaps of typos, but maybe that was just my copy. But it's not the worst! I've been reading way worse recently. View all my reviews

Claimed by Evangeline Anderson My rating: 4 of 5 stars Honestly it wasn't even that bad lol I've been reading some of the worst stories rn, bc I'm sick of my Kindle being so full. I am subscribed to BookBub, and they tell me what free deals they have. I asked them to give me YA paranormal romance. But I've learned they took it as: "YA" "paranormal/sci fi" "paranormal/sci fi romance". Which is hilarious. My innocent little mind was NOT prepared the first time I scrolled through one of the free books. This is just like a good, overnight-read fanfiction. Like there's definitely worse out there. It actually grabs a decent plot by the end. Plus the author is actually a pretty kick-ass feminist. There's a few problematic aspects; but GUYS. IT ISN'T COMPLETELY AWFUL. The entire time I was reading this, I kept thinking of Wannabe by the Spice Girls lol. I should be doing my final uni assignment. But I am dete...

Alienated by Melissa Landers My rating: 4 of 5 stars 4.5/5 alien nebula stars <3 This book started off pretty lame. It seemed predictable. But then it got really damn good. How good? Well I pulled an all-nighter. Yep. I have uni today, and had to wake up at 5:30am, but last night I was about 30% through and knew... I'm giving up sleep tonight for this. This usually never happens to me! The last time that I can remember was when I read Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side . Similar concepts, in a way. If you enjoyed that series; you'll love this! If you can switch vampires for aliens. After you get used to the writing; the plot is so fun, and the Aelyx and Cara ARE SO FREAKING CUTE. Seeing their relationship grow was beautiful <3 I could rave more for this book; but alas, I'm sleep deprived. And I want to read the next book. ASAP. (I downloaded the rest of the series this morning. I'm in for so much fun!!) Please give t...

Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare My rating: 5 of 5 stars SECOND TIME READING Rating change: 5/5stars down to 4.5/5 stars. Only new comment to make: I didn't connect as well this time with the characters, in the first half. I don't know if it's because I know it gets waaaay better in the latter half, but I didn't enjoy them as much. DON'T GET ME WRONG: I LOVE CASSIE'S BOOKS. FOR NOW AND FOREVER. But after reading SJM, I was used to another style of writing where it's more in depth with fewer characters, and more details on their feelings. This book still contains those aspects-- but in a lighter, less in-depth way. I still am in love with Julian. Oh my. That's all I have to say; The second half was much more enjoyable, and reminded me why I so fiercely adored it last year. I have Lord of Shadows open, ready for me to devour any minute now. I think rereading this book was less enjoyable because it's a mystery, and since ...

Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas My rating: 4 of 5 stars SECOND TIME READING: CHANGED RATING: 5 stars down to 4. This isn't because it sucked or anything!!!! I just... I know better. I know SJM has better, more deserving books that are 5/5 stars. IN MY INTERESTS. I prefer to Fae over... this debacle. No judgement to those who prefer this series more than ACOTAR. New thoughts: I read it differently this time. I listened along to SJM's Spotify playlist, and read it extremely slowly. Both are habits I usually avoid. I probably won't listen to the music, despite how beautiful it is, in the next books. It's super stressful to read in time. To be honest, I had an annoyed mood for half of the time. Why? Because I'm still salty about Celorian. How it didn't end up being a thing, and how even back then when I vacillated between both guys, I shipped Dorian (which I am mentally hitting myself for: RULE NUMBER ONE IN READING A SJM BOOK: LOV...

Goddess Interrupted by Aimee Carter My rating: 4 of 5 stars RTC but oh my GODS the ending?!?!!!!!! (view spoiler) [homegirl is PREGNANT WHAAAAT (hide spoiler) ] REVIEW TIMMEEE: meh? K cool this book was fine. I was really just passing the time until my copy of ACOWAR was delivered. This book is super cliche, but I'm a sucker for it. It has the worst of love triangles, so if you really don't enjoy them; stay clear. But since I'm somebody who likes to torture herself; I indulge in way too many to say I don't "enjoy" them. Quotes from my Kindle that I highlighted: "'I'm surprised he hasn't turned the Dead Sea into one big keg party by now.'" "My mother was Henry's favourite sister." .......... idc if it technically isn't incest; this is still super weird to think. "'He gets busy sometimes,' said Ava... 'Now, this is our closet. I even talked Henry into letting me ...

Of Neptune by Anna Banks My rating: 3 of 5 stars 3/5 stars. This was better than the last book... but it was totally unnecessary. This book just created problems than anything else. It could've ended in the previous book. The writing was better than book 2, but I still think I need to reread book 1 and see why I rated this 5 stars. These books are mediocre, at best. It's a shame how downhill this trope-fest of a book, actually is. QUOTES I HAVE ISSUES WITH: "'With you, I'll take it any way I can get it.' Awk-ward. Also, ew. 'Reed-' 'Too much too soon?' 'Too much anytime. I'm with Galen. We're going to be mated.' But I recognise the trace of doubt in my declaration.'" This makes me cringe for many reasons. How is this anything like a believable teenager dynamic??? "'You don't know these people, and Galen isn't there to protect you. I'm coming to get you.'...
