Insurgent
\”Do remember, though, that sometimes the people you oppress become mightier than you would like.\” Still as good as I remember reading when I was in my early twenties!
The Score
I love Dean + Allie. I did enjoy this book but I didn\’t feel the need to devour it as quickly as the first 2 books. Overall still great and would recommend!!
A Court of Thorns and Roses
Listened to the graphic audiobook version of this to prepare for the next book coming out in October. Still loved it my second time through! Funny going into this read knowing what I know from the next books and characters I immediately hate now.
Divergent
I\’m re-reading this in preparation for author\’s new book related to this series coming out in October. Still good on the 2nd read! People that say books aren\’t political are just wrong… lol.
\”..those who want power and get it live in terror of losing it. That\’s why we have to give power to those who do not want it.\”
\”Human beings as a whole cannot be good for long before the bad creeps back in and poisons us again.\”
The Mistake
I love John Logan. I wasn\’t sure about him after Book #1 in this series but he fully redeemed himself in this. I cannot wait to continue these books!!
The Deal
I read this after watching the TV show that was recently released on Prime. There\’s quite a bit of differences but nothing too crazy that took away from the plot. Onto the book though…I enjoyed the sarcasm and dialogue throughout this. Some of the characters I can tell will be developed more in future books and I\’m really looking forward to reading them all!
The Assassin’s Blade
This is my 2nd read through. (Audiobook this time) and reading this prequel 3rd is the proper reading order for this series I\’ve decided! It makes things so much more emotional and devastating to get the backstory after you know the beginning of ToG. I\’m way more attached to the characters!
Dear Debbie
This one was slow and not worth the read either, the twist came too late and while it affected the last 10 pages we didn\’t need 280 pages to get to it.
Phoebe Berman\’s Gonna Lose It
This book by Brooke Averick is also beautifully written and a great read. About turning 30, friends, family, work and life. It has it all – this one is also being adapted into film and I cannot wait to see it.
Fever Dream
This book had an interesting plot but the characters were good. I think it was worth the read but not sure Elsie is my style
Dogs, Boys and Other Things I\’ve Cried about
This book by Isabel Klee (@Simonsits) has dogs, dating, romance and everything between. Isabel wrote this so well and I loved every second of it – even while crying. This is a must read!
Riley Thorn and the Corpse in the Closet
Lucy does it again!! This book is Riley really finding herself and matchmaking combined!!!
