I hope you’ll enjoy it! I know a lot of people who really liked it, I just happened to have an unpopular opinion on it. But I think you’ll enjoy it! :)

hey guys! i finished the princess diaries and i rated it 3 stars!

[Amelie, Head of Readathons and Challenges]

Hey! I’ve finished Tweet Cute, which I ended up binge-reading in a day and rating 3.5 stars. I found it to be a very enjoyable, cute read, with a well-developed romance that kept me engaged for most of the story. And though I found the whole Twitter war to be unrealistic and petty, I really liked the characters in the story! Here’s my review. I hope everyone else enjoyed the books they chose to read! :)

[akacya ❦]

I started Shadow and Bone yesterday! It’s great so far!

[[deleted user]]

I've recently finished One of us is Next from your bookshelf, akacya! I really liked it (as I did the first one, too)

[akacya ❦]

that’s great! i’m glad you loved it!!!

[Demi]

I recently finished The Prince and The Dressmaker from Harshada's shelf and thought it was lovely!

[Amanda Artist Cat]

I'm currently reading The Secret Garden from ForevaBookish's shelf! I don't really like it so far though...

[Subhoshri]

I finished Stalking Jack the Ripper from Alya's shelf. I had picked it up because it had a mysterious air about it that drew me to it.

Though I guessed the real murderer, the overall story was quite enjoyable. I liked Thomas's mysterious yet charming character and Audrey's determined and ambitious aims. The plot kept me hooked from the beginning, which made up for the ending. I would say that I would have liked some alternate ending.
I would rate it about 3.8

I'll post the review a bit later :)
