Mini Reviews: Rich People Problems, Code Girls

Mini Reviews: Rich People Problems, Code Girls

I figure since I was doing quite a number of revamps that I'd also get them done for mini reviews! I find that whenever I'm reading on the go my reviews tend to be very short, and it's gotten harder to come up with a lot to say with a few of the minis. If [...]

Murder Most High || The Dazzling Heights Review

Murder Most High || The Dazzling Heights Review

Initial Thoughts: Okay. OKAY. This was actually much better than the last book even with all the random ass drama going around. I will admit I was ready to chuck my speakers out (yes I had this as an audiobook) during all the teacher drama but I calmed down when I realized Rylin had a [...]

Beautiful, Dirty, Rich || Crazy Rich Asians Review

Beautiful, Dirty, Rich || Crazy Rich Asians Review

Initial Thoughts:  Alright, guys. GUYS. I was going to rate this a full mega five star but then I watched the movie and I absolutely loved the direction they went with it, along with the curtailing of subplots. But still. STILL. This book was fab. And I mean, timing, am I right? CRAZY RICH ASIANS [...]

What Goes Up Must Come Down || The Thousandth Floor Review

What Goes Up Must Come Down || The Thousandth Floor Review

Initial Thoughts:  This world is pretty damn cool and definitely Gossip Girl of the future. But ohgod the drama I could. Not. Deal. The best POVs were from the peasants below floor 500 and I just REALLY WANTED THE ONE COUPLE TO GO RIGHT. But let's be honest, if this had been turned into a [...]

Review: Carry On by Rainbow Rowell

Review: Carry On by Rainbow Rowell

Shameless self-confession: When I bought this book, every intention was to give this away for my TBTBSanta. I wasn't going to read it or anything, since I had planned on reading Rowell's Fangirl first. And if I'd liked that book, then I'd go ahead and read Carry On. All the same, at the first look [...]

Mari

Mari-with-an-I prefers her fantasies drenched in oil and fried up in faerie, but when that’s not the case, she’ll read it anyway. She likes writing what she reads, and likes baking while she writes. She’s written a few things for anthologies, including an anthology that got translated into Czech (I know, right?! Eeeeee!), and if you haven’t read them yet, she urges you to do so! Who knows, there might be a few cookies waiting for you at the end of the read.

…Or not. (Blast her pet steampoctopus for eating them all!)

4 cookies = Book was great and certainly worth the read.

3 cookies = Book was good but I expected better.

2 cookies = Meh.

1 cookie = Why did I even bother?!
