Code Name VerityCode Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This book was fantastic. The writing was lovely, the characters engaging, and the story engaging. Highly recommended.

I read the audiobook version, and the narrators were wonderful. I was really brought in by their voices.

Sly Magic: NogitsuneSly Magic: Nogitsune by Clovia Shaw

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This book. It's lovely. I think my comments noted how beautiful the writing is. I really think this would be amazing as a graphic novel, just to bring to life the beautiful world the author has created.

I have to admit that I was confused a lot of the time, but I think that was more my fault than the author's. I think I got so caught up in the writing that I sort of missed the details, if that makes any sense at all.

I recommend this to anyone who is interested in urban fantasy.

Gone GirlGone Girl by Gillian Flynn

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


I can't even with the ending of this book. Just no. I was at three stars for most of the book, despite hating both main characters, because I was hoping for a satisfying denouement. Alas, it was less than satisfying. That was 19 hours of my life I won't get back.

On the up side, the narrators were very good.

On the IslandOn the Island by Tracey Garvis-Graves

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I really liked this book. I was reluctant when I first heard about it because of the age difference, but I think it was handled really well.
