Just cleared another book - Perfectly Famous by Emily Liebert. Not really so perfect. The writing was simplistic. The mystery was convoluted and didn’t really fit with the plot. And the characters felt like half-formed stereotypes. I received this book as a free giveaway in exchange for my honest review. Not worth reading. 2 stars

Just cleared another ebook - Rosewater by Tade Thompson. I appreciate the creativity and intelligence that goes into imagining a near-future dystopia. However, I did not enjoy this book. I found the characters to be unlikeable, to the point where I did not care what happened to them. The plot had gaping holes, by design, which left me confused, but as I didn’t feel connected, I didn’t care to fill in the gaps. Interesting concept but ultimately not for me. 2.5 stars

Just cleared another ebook - The Shadows by Alex North. This book was creepy and had a good mystery. Things unfolded well throughout, and the writing was good. It lost a bit of steam in the last quarter, but overall entertaining read! Worth reading! 4 stars
