Patty’s comments from the Chapter Adventure Reading Challenges (Formerly GXO) group.

A little long but much better than the movie

Loved this one - can't wait to read the next in the series

Wanting to finish this series - a story of how an alien and human celebrate Christmas

Been meaning to read this for a while - came highly recommended but was just okay for me

Just finished this - it's a cute series

Ugh - sorry I'm putting this in here - as a warning not to read?

Heard so much about this - it was just okay for me.

City of Ghosts by Victoria Schwab

Really good!

Have been trying to get into this series for a while - finally finished this (even though it is so short) and loved it! Can't wait to read the rest (has been on TBR since 2017)

Everyone seems so excited about these books - just okay for me

Dissolution by Nicholas Binge

Fantastic book!

Cute book - perfect for my mood

Maybe an unconventional choice, but this gave me a lot of feelings.

I'm glad you liked it - I have mixed feelings. I sort of felt like this was a "middle" book where nothing much happened and it was the same thing over and over again. I agree - love the Andarna story and am rooting for Xayden and Violet. But I was so excited, just a little let down.

I mean...am I the only one who read it?
