If He Wanted To, He Wood by Tanya Lynn
3.0
Is it a literary masterpiece? No.
Did it deliver exactly what was described? Yes. She does indeed have sex with trees who turn into humans. It was a short and silly book. It was mainly porn. So, if that’s what you are into, that’s what you are going to get. I liked how even though the book was short, each character had their own personality. I didn’t feel like I was reading and the same guy multiplied. And unlike the pillow one, I am rooting for them to be happy together.
Not in Love by Ali Hazelwood
5.0
Ali Hazelwood has charmed me once again. Another five star read and I am once again obsessed. Once I start reading one of her books, I cannot put it down. I finished it in one day. I relate to Rue so much. Honestly, a scary amount. I fear Ali Hazelwood is stalking me and based her on me. I am in love with Eli. I have nothing bad to say, only good things and she is probably my favorite author.
Whorephobia: Strippers on Art, Work, and Life by Lizzie Borden
4.0
I thought this was a really well put together collection of essays. I think adding in the interviews with each author also added to the stories being told. It is a new perspective to see how strippers live their lives and work. A lot of the things they discussed aren’t things I would’ve guessed is how strip clubs and stripping worked, so it was very informative and brings a new view on this section of the world.
You're the One That I Want by Cecily von Ziegesar
3.0
I like how they just straight up made Chuck insufferable and gay. Very on par and I actually enjoy when he is on page because it’s just funny to me. I think that Blair deserves better tbh. I am a Blair defender in the book and TV show. She can do no wrong in my eyes. And even if she does do wrong, I will close my eyes.
I Like It Like That by Cecily von Ziegesar
3.0
So far, this is one of the best books in the series. My main gripe is that Chuck was in it far too much. On the bright side of that, he was extremely gay in all his scenes, so you win some and you lose some. I think the relationships between the characters are starting to really take shape in this book and you are able to see the dynamics they set up with each other. I think this book also has the most variety in what happened so far as the characters were on spring break, so there was much more happening than just going to school and school related drama. I enjoyed it very much.
None of This Rocks: A Memoir by Joe Trohman
4.0
I love memoirs. This was such a good one too. It had a nice mix of serious conversations and comedy. It was well written and very relatable (as much as you can relate to a celebrity rock star). I enjoyed it and highly recommend. There are a lot of sex and dick jokes, so if that isn’t for you, I wouldn’t recommend, but I found it a very funny read.
Beaches, Bungalows, and Burglaries by Tonya Kappes
5.0
I loved this cozy mystery. It was an investing plot and loveable characters. I think Mae is a great main character who is very kind hearted. I loved that she gave back to the community after all her husband did to them. The mystery was a good one with a unexpected plot twist. I also did like the small romance subplot. I’m a sucker for romance and eat up even the smallest bit.
Dash & Lily's Book of Dares by David Levithan, Rachel Cohn
4.0
I think the TV show is better honestly. I did enjoy this still because I am obsessed with this show and plot, but I think the changes the show made to the plot enhanced it. I love the idea of getting to know each other through the journal and encouraging each other to explore the city. I think it is a very sweet read for the holidays. I, however, stand by the fact that Dash and Lily (show or book) do not last past the first year of college. Which honestly I think is good for them. They both learned a lot from each other and not every romance needs to have a happy forever but only a happy for now.
Serendipity: A Gorgeous Collection of Stories of All Kinds of Falling in Love . . . by Marissa Meyer
5.0
This is a cute and fun read. I loved all the short stories and how, despite how short they were, you got to know the characters and rooted for them to be happy in the end. I loved the queer representation in all forms. It’s a book with diverse representation and I truly loved all the stories that were included.
She followed the moon back to herself by Amanda Lovelace
5.0
I am once again obsessed with Amanda Lovelace. I loved this series of poems; it might be my favorite of hers so far. Every one is so well written and truly shows reflection on yourself and everything in your life. I loved the sapphic references and was happily surprised to know my favorite poet is sapphic also. I highly recommend this one because it is truly just so good and relatable.
