Saving Seymour by L.N. Loch
250 Pages

Rating: 4 Stars
Review: What a wonderful and intriguing debut novel this was! I’ve never read anything quite like it, as it is such an imaginative world, and I think the author did such a great job building that you knew exactly what it would be like to live there. I found myself wondering often what it would be like to see color for the very first time, and it’s just completely unimaginable to me. Our two MCs are hit with this exact scenario, and the way they handle it couldn’t be more night and day. For Winston, the activist, artist, and general free spirit it’s beautiful, novel, and wonderful. But for poor Ivan, who has made himself blind to pretty much everything in his life, it’s overwhelming and causes him to rethink everything he’s ever thought. This book is a sweet romance (fade to black, so don’t go looking for your smut here), an interesting take on politics, and even a story of saving a whale; but, while I adored Winston so very much, I think at its heart this is Ivan’s story. A story about opening your eyed to injustice, facing hard truths about yourself, and doing the right thing while forgetting about the consequences. Overall it was definitely a story I enjoyed and I look forward to any work from this author in the future.

Review: Bumping up a star rating after listening in audio!
When I first read this book when it first came out I liked it a lot, but Michael Ferruaiolo’s narration made me absolutely love it. Knot and Matthew both feature throughout the series, but always as a side role; and when given their own story they truly shine. This book is what you’d expect from Knot, it’s funny and flirty, but it’s also what you’d expect from Matthew, it’s sweet and tender. A perfect ending to the series (besides the collection of chats), but it also desperately makes me want more!

Review: The first time I read this I remember liking it okay, but never quite connecting with Zack. Maybe it's because I've read more books with similar characters, or maybe I've just come to realize everyone has their own story, but I enjoyed it a lot more this time around. These two definitely had a hard road to happiness, but they worked together well and were able to pull through
oooh, I just saw this - I'll pick something asap

Escape Artist by Romeo Alexander

Rating: 4 Stars
Review: This turned out to be a pretty clever story. It's a fun mystery and a nice little romance. Completely different from the first book in the series, Escape Artist can be read as a standalone.
The narrator didn't really add or take away anything from my enjoyment of the novel. Lee Loveset was a bit on the droll side. He made some bits pretty funny, though I'm not sure they were meant to be, lol.

Review:
Interesting book and I enjoyed reading it.
For around the first half of this book Joe, one of the two main characters, is still in an abusive relationship. Dylan recognizes the signs because he's had to experience this himself some years ago. He helps Joe to see for himself that he's being manipulated and taken advantage of.
So we as the reader not only get the growing romance between Joe and Dylan but we also get to see how Joe breaks free of this bad relationship. Personally I found this an really interesting element of this book and in general an important story to tell.

That sounds lovely Caipi! We've been having amazing weather and then all of the sudden it snowed yesterday! Michigan is still so weird to me even after having lived here for 7 years

Actually, I have a BR for the book in another group at the moment too, but unfortunately it doesn't fit our current task here. At least it would work for ptp, so hopefully I'll be able to squeeze it in soon. 😄

King's Eyes by Ki Brightly and M.D. Gregory
228 pages
How it Qualifies: written by 2 authors
Read: 4/5/2021
Rating: 4 Stars
Review: A wee bit more romance than the first novel. The characters are sweet together and it's a real opposites attract story. Same problem for me with the narrator, his voice isn't the right fit for this story.
Amanda you only need 178 pgs if you're stuck for time
Found a way to make it work with the categories I claimed in The Game!

Review: This was a cute story where a wrong text leads to something more. It has Lennox's trademark humor, and you can tell Maddox brings the same to the series.
Ive got to start getting myself organised when The Game finishes..ive got about 6 coloured books to read for UNO
okay cool - so we've got our 1,000 pages yay!
