Nick and Charlie meet, talk, hang out... and fall in love.

This graphic novel is very cliche, nothing really special about it.

Cress has been stuck on a satellite for seven years. Seven years of isolation except for the occasional visits from Mistress Sybil Mira. Cress has lost all hope of ever leaving until Cinder and her crew manages to contact her. Will Cress be able to gain her freedom? Will Cinder save Kai, the Eastern Commonwealth, and the world?

The best parts of the book were Cinder and Thorn's reunion and the end. Cinder and Kai were what I signed up for and I'm glad we got a bit of it in the end.

I thought Cress and Iko were annoying. They felt really childish/childlike and they drew me out of the story every time. I had a hard time finishing this book (despite using the audiobook for some parts) due to them.

Summary:
Harry Potter's fourth year at Hogwarts, a school for witches and wizards, is coming up. Unlike previous years, this year, not only was there the Quidditch World Cup, Hogwarts is hosting the Triwizard Tournament, where three magical schools come together to compete for the Triwizard Cup. Unfortunately for Harry, several things don't go the way it's supposed to and his life is put on the line, again.

What I Liked:
I loved the constant hints that added up to Hermione finding out Rita Skeeter was

an animagus

. It's was cleverly done, and a great easter egg to people who were rereading.

I thought the story was unique. Since this is a reread, I loved being able to pick up on several things I wouldn't have noticed upon the first read. The attention to detail in this book is amazing.

The ending of the tournament and

the death of Cedric was incredibly sad, but to be able to spark such emotion from me was something I enjoyed, (the emotion, not the death. I'm not that bad of a person)

.

I loved the inclusion of the Quidditch World Cup and the Triwizard Tournament. It added a new aspect to the universe.

What I Didn't Like:
[a: J. K. Rowling|1077326|J.K. Rowling|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1596216614p2/1077326.jpg] loves to add exposition through speeches, and it makes the work a lot more juvenile. Which, I guess made the book much more digestible as a child, but now, it kind of makes it the book seem simple (diction-wise).

I felt like the occurrences of Fred and George (as well as Ludo Bagman) sneaking around was odd at times. As if they were simply added for fan service, because their role, other than the end when

Harry give them the prize money

, was not really necessary or significant.

Overall:
Although this isn't my favorite in the entire Harry Potter Series, this book is still one of the best. It added a lot to the existing universe and was entertaining. This is also one of the few in the series that cause me to have an emotional moment.

Summary:
Harry Potter is about to start his third year at Hogwarts, a school for wizards and witches, when suddenly, a mass murderer has broken out of Azkaban, the wizard prison. As Sirius Black's escape causes widespread panic in the wizarding community, Harry and his friends must attend Hogwarts, now guarded by the horrifying dementors, with the knowledge that Black's escape could only mean he wants Harry dead.

What I Liked:
There are always flaws with all stories, especially this one with the timeturner aspect, but this story was truly unique and magical. This story isn't written perfectly, but the writing wasn't at all bad or hard to get through. I've always sped through these books, largely due to the content and the way it was written. The story was unique and really well executed.

The slow discovery of the relationship between Lupin, the Mauraders, and Harry was a great backstory. Rereading this book made it the hints much more enjoyable. Out of all of the books, my favorite characters/relationships are the Mauraders, despite how little actual canon writing was written about them.

Another thing I'd liked was Jim Dale's performance as he narrated the book. He wasn't monotonous, and he actually acted out all of the voices. He is, without a doubt, my favorite audiobook narrator.

What I Didn't Like:
Occasionally, Harry would listen in on other people's conversations. This was obviously a way to give information to Harry (and readers) about the events happening in the book. This way of giving information was kind of unnatural and unrealistic. Either it was the conversation between Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, or the one between Cornelius Fudge and some of the teachers, it made some of the characters seem less knowledgeable than they usually are for the purpose of giving exposition.

A lot of people hate the redemption arc of

Snape and I have to agree with them. The way he acted in this book made it hard to imagine why [a: J. K. Rowling|1077326|J.K. Rowling|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1596216614p2/1077326.jpg] would want to redeem him. He was selfish and clearly prejudiced against Black and Lupin. Not only that, but he was an outright bully towards some of the students, especially Hermione and Neville

.

Overall:
There's a reason this book is my favorite in the Harry Potter Series. I realize it can be hard to separate the art from the artist, but in this case, Harry Potter has grown so much from being one person's story that it really doesn't just belong to one person. I choose not to directly support the author, but I can't deny that this book and this series has played a major role in my childhood.

Lizzie is back and now in the Big Apple! As she balances her dream of fashion and her relationship with Luke, Lizzie's big mouth only seems to bring more trouble.

I really liked the first book in this series and hoped for a continuation of that original book. However, I was disappointed.

I don't know why, but the main character became really irritating. She kept jumping to conclusions that ended up being wrong for reasons that were so obvious.

For example, once Bibi talks to Lizzie about the guys who keeps calling, it's obvious that Bibi isn't having an affair from her actions and reactions. Also, Lizzie is so clearly wearing rose-colored glasses about Luke and marriage. Chaz (and Luke) repeatedly makes it obvious that Luke is noncommital, yet she still expects an engagement ring.

Another thing, I really did not expect Chaz and Lizzie to kiss, but I'm not mad.

Honestly, I'm probably gonna read the next book just to finish the series and to see what happens after the events of the end of the book.

Rev has demons that still haunt him from his past. Emma's home life is a constant battle. Both desperate to escape their lives, they cross paths, forming a friendship and a bond.

Immediately, not as good as [b:Letters to the Lost|30038855|Letters to the Lost (Letters to the Lost, #1)|Brigid Kemmerer|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1464361740l/30038855._SY75_.jpg|45042926]. This book was more focused on personal struggles and overcoming them rather than the romance.

Honestly, the situation with Ethan at the end was not a surprise.

I thought it might've played out in two ways: Ethan was pretending to be Nightmare, or he would do something bad concerning Emma. And, that happened. It wasn't a bad plot point, but it wasn't really necessary. However, I did like the fact that it forced Rev to rescue Emma.

I gave [b:Letters to the Lost|30038855|Letters to the Lost (Letters to the Lost, #1)|Brigid Kemmerer|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1464361740l/30038855._SY75_.jpg|45042926] 5 stars because I loved the romance. So naturally, on a book set in the same world with similar formats that wasn't focused on the romance, wasn't as good as the former.

Nonetheless, I still liked the book and will definitely read more books by [a:Brigid Kemmerer|4629194|Brigid Kemmerer|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1563651388p2/4629194.jpg].

Sadie Hunter's life revolved around her little sister, Mattie. So when Mattie is brutally murdered, Sadie is desperate to find the man that harmed her and her sister.

This book contains two points of view: Sadie's (past-or current) and West's (current- or future). I preferred West's viewpoint.

Since this is a new-to-me genre, I read this with an audiobook.

In the (audio)book, Sadie has a stutter that can be hard to listen to (but easy to read past). West's point of view was more interesting, well spoken/written, and more enjoyable overall. During the audiobook, I found myself looking forward to reading about what West discovered, while being annoyed with Sadie's section.

Unfolding the truth alongside Sadie and West was enjoyable, but this wasn't a standout novel. (This is most likely because I am a romance reader.) I liked the over all plot enough, but nothing really propelled me to finish the book, plotwise.

Kate's life is not what she imagined it to be. She's currently couch-surfing, working under a horrible boss, and being forced to fire everyone's favorite co-worker. Not only that, but she's also being sued. The only good thing seems to be her lawyer, Mitch, who's not only kind, but incredibly handsome.

Wow, the instalove was definitely there. This was my second time reading this and I still enjoyed it. Again, rereading this wasn't as enjoyable since I already knew the major plot points.

I really didn't like the antagonists in this book, not because you're supposed to, but because they're so unreal. There are some bad and mean people in this world, but man, Cabot really piled it on Amy and Stuart (and Margaret).

As for our main couple, they were cute, but the instalove was not for me.

Lucy and Josh work in the same office, however, that's all they share. It's only after the promise of a possible promotion, do they both start to get to know each other better.

This book was really average. Honestly nothing special, I doubt in a month I will remember much about this book. There are better and worst romances.

I read it via audiobook.

Aggi and Max's relationship was great. After finally admitting their feelings towards each other, things only seem to rise... Until a fatal car accident left both of them without their older siblings. As tensions rose and lawsuits were filed, Max and Aggi went from a fantasy to never talking to each other. As the broken pieces around them collect, they must figure out a way to fix everything, even if it means revisiting the horrific past.

Honestly, this wasn't a super significant novel, but it was good. I liked Max and Aggi's relationship as well as Max and Henry's friendship.

Two things I didn't like: 1) Grace. I thought she was so annoying

and mainly functioned as a plot point to make the Franks and Grangers stop fighting

. 2) The parents. Again, I thought they were annoying

and that the lawsuits were incredibly stupid. Not only that, but the fact that Aggi's dad blames her for the deaths of Cal and Kate is absurd. This was one of those cases where the parents of the main characters acted like children and the main characters were more responsible.

.

I liked the romance, didn't like all of the characters.
