Love, Hate & Clickbait

Rowan's Bookshelf (Carleigh) is on page 70 of 389 of Conventionally Yours (True Colors, #1)
Oh this is gonna be RIGHT up my alley lmao they're bickering is the good kind of enemies to lovers that stems from a misunderstanding of each other and not actually hating each other. I wish Payton with they/them pronouns stuck around for the trip, and the gay old professor, but it's good for romance lol

Rowan's Bookshelf (Carleigh) is 60% done with Daughter of the Moon Goddess (The Celestial Kingdom, #1)
I like seeing the change in Xingyin after being a soldier. She still has her pride but acts selfishly, she almost gives up a chance for the talisman to free her mother just bc the prince pisses her off

So I am just not a fan of this I guess. Heathcliff is terrible, Catherine is terrible, Edgar is terrible. And I don't even know the point of all this being told by the maid?? Like the main character has done literally nothing

Now I get why a lot of people complain about the actual storytelling. It's just the nursemaid going on and on about the family without any mystery. It's taking all the spookiness out od the house

Once I get into the rhythm it's easier to understand. Catherine's ghost is pretty cool and creepy so far

there are a TON of beauty and the beast references. straight out of the disney movie, which makes sense given the publisher, but they feel a bit more forced than If the Shoe Fits. Still super cute so far!! Beau is a bit grumpy but you can see his humor shining through already

Simone is such a grump but I've come to love her, she really does just wants her Organization and to be a good person. Ray is quite literally sunshine. Appreciate the conversations about cis ppl complaining about how "hard" pronouns are

Aurora in front of the court denying any allegiance with the Fae....her power!!! Loved it. Still going very slowly tbh but love getting the know all the characters, and Alyce being torn bw jealousy and wanting Aurora to be happy

Alright, guess I'm reading this again. Maybe I just want to see a woman overcome her trauma and realize that she doesn't just want to be protected and safe, she wants to hone her own powers and be a badass too. Growth

I love getting a real perspective of an evil queen - one who totally just tortures people out of spite but you also feel a "good for her!" sense about it. I do think Nimara and Aurora both keep throwing tantrums, and the plot is very character based so far, not much action happening

I'm really liking the actual story with Abitha going on, but all this stuff with the Wildfolk and pawlaw tree is sooooo uninteresting

I love Zara but I'm not buying that, for how spunky and outgoing and brash she is, she would be uncomfortable with suggestive fruit paintings

Writing is so boring! Everything is spelled out for the reader there is literally no mystery. Professor character is not charming just creepy and obvious evil

Yeah this is just...fine. Interesting ideas with the dust wife and talking to the dead. I like how oblivious Agnes is but it's not as funny as the author wants it to be. There is not enough chemistry for Fenris to be a romantic interest. And the whole mission is just kind of bland

I like how all we're getting is conflicting information. The writing is so obvious it's kind of annoying though, everything is spelled out how we're supposed to interpret every one and everything they say

Not so sure I'm with all the hype with this one. I like the main character and her drive to save her sister, but the world is lacking a bit so far. She's done two impossible tasks with absolutely no challenge or how she managed to do it? I could have used more adventure to get to the dust wife

Not a huge fan of these random and unnecessary chapter breaks. The endings don't mean anything and the scene just picks up right where it left off anyway, it's annoying. Quick to read and I'm curious so far though

The horror is amazing in this. The Spanish politics kind of go over my head, and Andres flashbacks did not interest me. I do want to know more about Juana and the servants. Relationship between Andres and Beatriz is starting to get lovely

Idk how she writes similar books but every one is amazing lol I love Nora's Neuroticism and their banter and their communication. Sister side story is good, but not as good as the romance. Wouldn't cut it out though
