Review: Finale

Finale by Stephanie Garber
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A fun, fast read. I really hope there will be more stories from the Caraval world. We are kind of left hanging (view spoiler)[with regards to Tella's future daughter (hide spoiler)]. I would love to see the world expanded.

Review: Rich People Problems

Rich People Problems by Kevin Kwan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I loved the series as a whole. This book did not have the oomph of the first two books, but I am glad for the closure. I was really starting to question what the point of having Kitty's story line through all three books was. It came together at the end, but it seemed like it took forever to get there.

Review: China Rich Girlfriend

China Rich Girlfriend by Kevin Kwan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a fast read. I would have read this in a day if it were not for work. I am completely addicted. I am having one of those moments where I am glad all of the books are already written. I am completely binge reading this series. Book 3, here I come!

A note about formats: As with the first book there are quite a few footnotes. I found it best to stick with the paper copy. In the paper copy, the footnotes are at the bottom of the page. In the Kindle version, the foot notes are all located at the end of each chapter.

Review: Crazy Rich Asians

Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I picked up this book after watching the movie. While the movie got away from the book, the book does fill in some of the informational holes the movie contained. I did not realize there were 3 books in this series when I first went to find this book. Now that this one is done, I am going right into book 2.

A note about formats: there are so many footnotes in this book that I found it best to read a paper copy. In the paper copy, the footnotes are at the bottom of the page. In the Kindle version, the foot notes are all located at the end of each chapter. It gets to be painful on the Kindle after a while.

Review: In the Mouth of the Dragon

In the Mouth of the Dragon by Myriam Millán
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received a Kindle edition of this book through a Goodreads Giveaway a long time ago. My only regret is waiting so long to read this book.

I really enjoyed this book, but there was a constant reference to the Tenth Learned Disciple. As it turns out, this book is the second book of a series. I wish the first book was available in English; the references would make more sense. Other than that this was a good read. It can get a little graphic with the torture, but I loved the Bathory connections.

I read this book as part of the PopSugar Reading Challenge 2019 - A book you think should be turned into a movie.

Review: Pebble in the Dark: The Emissaries

Pebble in the Dark: The Emissaries by Antony Botting
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received a free kindle copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

This is the final book in the trilogy. At times I felt a little confused with the different story lines. I think part of it was because there are references to people and events from the first book and it has been too long since I read the first book. I did enjoy the story, though. It did not keep my attention as well as the first two books, but it was still a good read.

Review: I'll Be Damned: How My Young and Restless Life Led Me to America's #1 Daytime Drama

I'll Be Damned: How My Young and Restless Life Led Me to America's #1 Daytime Drama by Eric Braeden
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Overall the book was good. One chapter turned into a complete rant about Y&R, but it was interesting to get the off-screen side of Eric Braeden.
