I didn’t care for The Hazel Wood. The first half dragged and I hated the main character.

26, but at least half of them were children’s books, haha.
That’s so funny that you rated Reign of the Fallen 5 stars, and I DNF’d it. And then you didn’t rate The Hazel Wood very highly and I’m still super excited to read it (but haven’t yet). Now I’m going to go check out your reviews and see why you rated them that way, ESPECIALLY Reign of the Fallen!! 🙂

26 is awesome! Great job! I really loved Reign of the Fallen and I thought The Hazel Wood dragged and had a horrible main character.

I’m so excited to see you enjoyed The Wife Between Us. It was so good.
Reign of the Fallen is at the top of my TBR so I’m excited to see it’s been getting such great reviews.
I recently stumbled upon S.T.A.G.S. so I’m interested to see what your thoughts are.

I loved both The Wife Between Us and Reign of the Fallen! Both amazing books! Stags was good. It was very entertaining but it was also pretty slow paced.

Oooh there are a few books I want to read (such as Reign of the Fallen. T H A T Cover!) – The Hate U Give has been such a good book, glad that you liked it as well! The Hazel Wood cover looks gorgeous, I need to check that one out as well haha. Myself, I have read 2 books but I’m laying low this year, so that’s okay for me.
I wish you a nice reading February 🙂

Yes! I loved it! I flew through it! I read it in a matter of 2 sittings. I just could not put it down! I’m still debating writing a review for it. I just feel a little uncomfortable about reviewing it since I come from a place of privilege. Are you going to review it?
LikeLiked by 1 person
I flew through it too! It’s seriously just an amazing book. I have that problem too, should I review it or not? I hasn’t really decided yet, I don’t know if I really should.
