Hi, everyone! Today I'm talking about some of the books that I've read in 2018. I had a lot to say and only got to three books in this video.
THE BOOKS:
The King of Bones and Ashes by J.D. Horn - DNF 1.5 stars This one wasn't bad, but it was all over the place. I really thought this was going to be a strong witch novel, but the storytelling wasn't linear and the multiple POVs were too much. Check out my review here.
Manga Classics: The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling, Crystal S. Chan, & Julien Choy - 2.75 stars This is a collection of several of Rudyard Kipling's stories and they are a lot of fun, but there are also a lot of duds. Check out my review here.
Flawless by Sara Shepard - 1 star I hated this audiobook. I walked away never wanting to pick up another Pretty Little Liars and I'm over books that support children being preyed upon by adult men. Statuary rape is not sexy!
Recommend the Most:
Manga Classics: The Jungle Book, I guess. It's the best rated of the bunch and it has two great stories, The White Seal & Rikki Tikki-Tavi, but besides that it's not really one I'm pushing at people.

Have you read any of these novels? Do you hate the Pretty Little Liars series like I now do? Let me know down below in the comments!
Ugh ugh Flawless is an instant NOPE if it's portraying rape as any sort of sexy?!? How can people be like that when writing...😒😒But sadness you didn't have any good reads lately! I hope April's TBR treats you better!
ReplyDeleteYea, Flawless is one to pass on. It's a huge nope! I honestly don't know how she could condone that in any sort of positive light. I hit a real rut with good novels in the beginning of February. So far, April has been a pretty good reading month. :D
DeleteOh man sorry these weren't great reads. I gave up on PLL after the first book. Wasn't my jam! Hope you have better reads ahead!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the first book when I read it in high school, but as an adult this series is yikes! It's just horrible. Thanks so much, Grace!
DeleteI've heard some good things about the J.D. Horn books, I think, so I'm sorry to hear it didn't work for you. Seems like you just had a real bummer of a reading week/month(?) since you didn't like any of these. Hopefully your current books are better!
ReplyDeleteI think you may really enjoy them, Kristen. They definitely have some interesting paranormal elements. I'd definitely love to hear your thoughts. Thanks so much!
