Trinity 9. Wild Roses by Deb Caletti 1/20 (1 star)

- Short Review
I am finally done ugh this was just not the book for me. I deserve an award for finishing this, I wanted to drop this book so many times. Let me just stop now before I go into a review that only has bad things to say about this book. There's not even one nice thing to mention honestly, I just couldn't like this.

Trinity 10. The Espressologist by Kristina Springer 1/21 (3 stars)

- Short Review
This was pretty cute, very very unrealistic but cute. I liked the characters in this book, Jane was a great female lead and I really loved Cam's character. I wasn't really expecting much from this book because I knew before I even started reading this that this was going to be a cute light fluffy romance. I did really enjoy the matchmaking strategy with coffee drinks, it was very unique and enjoyable.

Trinity 12. Daughter of Smoke & Bone (Daughter of Smoke & Bone, #1) by Laini Taylor 1/26 (5 stars)
Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

- Short Review
I loved this book soo much. A bore in the beginning but redeems in the end. It took me 5 days just to get 100 pages in because it bored me! But today I got to page 132 and I couldn't put it down. One of my absolute favorites so far this year and can't wait to read the next book in this amazing series.

Trinity 13. Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist by Rachel Cohn 1/28 (2 stars)
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

- Short Review
I wanted so much to like this but this was just not the book for me. Too much instant romance, I wasn't feeling it. This took me wayy longer to read than it should have. Once I started this, I was ready to put it back down. I couldn't connect with any of the characters, there were many choppy scenes, and the romance wasn't the best. I am hoping my next read is going to be better.

Trinity 14. Shadows (Lux, #0.5) by Jennifer L. Armentrout 2/1 (4 stars)
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

- Short Review
I've missed this series soo much and getting to come back to Daemon was just amazing. The book itself was really awesome and I just loved every character. This was nice insight to how it started with Dawson, I lovee Daemon and Kat's love story a lot more but this was great. I thought Bethany was a great character and I loved Dawson, they really clicked and it was so nice to see how this started for them.

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

- Short Review
I really enjoyed this book. It was a bit confusing in the beginning but it made up for it once I finally started understanding the plot. All the characters in this book played their parts perfectly, I loved everyone. Although there were some dull moments, it was an overall great read.

Trinity 23. Linger (The Wolves of Mercy Falls, #2) by Maggie Stiefvater 6/15 (3 stars)
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

- Short Review
It wasn't my favorite and I didn't love it but it was enjoyable. I liked mostly all the characters, Grace was testing me though. I could tell what was going to happen to Grace but I just didn't expect it to the end the way it did. It wasn't action-packed and I got bored a few times while reading this. It was just alright to me.

Trinity 24. Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon 6/16 (4 stars)
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

- Short Review
Alright, I'm definitely going to be watching the movie shortly just because of how much I enjoyed this book. This book is a rollercoaster of different emotions: I laughed, I got scared, I was pacing in my room, I was hurt, and I loved!

Trinity 25. Always and Forever, Lara Jean (To All the Boys I've Loved Before, #3) by Jenny Han 6/17 (2 stars)
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

- Short Review
Why couldn't I love this like everyone else? I was just so annoyed and frustrated with Lara Jean, she just didn't shut up! I really enjoyed the first book, thought the second book was alright I still enjoyed it, but this was something else completely different. I felt like this entire book was just Lara Jean contemplating what college and Peter. And about her dad and his soon to be wife. I just couldn't like this.


message 29: by Trinity (new)

Trinity 26. Caraval (Caraval, #1) by Stephanie Garber 6/21 (4 stars)

- Short Review
This book was soo good, everything was so twisted and had me thinking what was real and what wasn't. The characters all played a great role in this and the character development of Scarlett was awesome. She annoyed me just a smidge in the beginning but I quickly started loving her character and I really loved this book.

Trinity 28. Two-Way Street by Lauren Barnholdt 6/26 (1 star)

WHY why why why! All these characters were so annoying I can't explain it enough. This was just terrible and I am choosing not to review this because if I do, it would be a loonggg rant.

Trinity 29. Beautiful Disaster (Beautiful, #1) by Jamie McGuire 6/27 (3 stars)
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

- Short Review
One part of me really liked this and I though that Abby and Travis were the best and I loved their relationship, while the other part of me was so fed up with all the drama and bull and annoying scenes. Half this book I loved, the other part not so much. I did enjoy the book and I liked the characters but I didn't love it. It was a decent book though, I'm just so worn out with the back and forth between Abby and Travis I need to take a nap.

Trinity 30. Bittersweet by Sarah Ockler 6/28 (3 stars)
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

- Short Review
I have to say I'm a wee bit disappointed just because Hudson was getting on my nerves many times. I loved this whole concept with baking, ice-skating, cute fluffy romance. I'm currently craving cupcakes and now want to start baking (even though I burn water). I'm just slightly disappointed with how things progressed through this story, it was a light easy read but I couldn't help but get upset with some issues.

Trinity 31. The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen 7/1 (4 stars)
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

- Short Review
Another Dessen book I love soo much. I was in a contemporary mood but the books I've read recently didn't make me feel anything and were just eh so I knew I had to pick up a Dessen book to save me. This was such a great summer read and Wes definitely gave me that sa-woon. I loved Macy and basically all the characters in this book, everyone played their role perfectly. I adored this, there's always something about Sarah's books that make me so happy and want to live life to its fullest.

Trinity 32. Pure (Covenant, #2) by Jennifer L. Armentrout 7/4 (4 stars)
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

- Short Review
I really enjoyed this book a whole more than the first one. I'm starting to really like all the characters, although Alex really needs to step up her game a little she is annoying many at times. I loved the storyline through this book and I thought the action was great, and I did enjoy the plots. There were similarities in the first book towards Vampire Academy but now I'm starting to see this series as its own. I'm really excited to read the next book and see where we go from here.

Trinity 33. Clockwork Princess (The Infernal Devices, #3) by Cassandra Clare 7/8 (5 stars)
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

A perfect end to a perfect series. This book was amazing from beginning to end. I have loved all the character developments and I'm so happy yet so sad that I'm done with the trilogy.

Trinity 34. Hopeless (Hopeless, #1) by Colleen Hoover 7/9 (4 stars)
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Wow, this book was really something special. I thought this was going to be your typical good girl meets bad boy and they fall hopelessly in love...that is not the case here. This story was so beautiful and written so well, it made me feel so many different things. I didn't cry but I did shed one tear, I was more captivated in the story to even let myself cry to what was going on. This book was pretty damn amazing.


message 38: by Trinity (new)

Trinity 35. Through the Ever Night (Under the Never Sky, #2) by Veronica Rossi 7/10 (3 stars)
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Under the Never Sky was definitely better to me but this book was pretty good too. I was happy to come back to the adventures of Perry and Aria, I really liked that we got to really get into the tribe and how it works. I did enjoy this book and I really liked the different plot twists. I'm really excited to see how this finishes off and how the Outsiders work with the Dwellers, this should be good!

Trinity 36. The Vincent Brothers (The Vincent Boys, #2) by Abbi Glines 7/12 (3 stars)
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Aww this was so cute! I was so excited to start this book because I loved the first one, I didn't love this one as much but I still really liked it. I just had certain problems with things.. but the epilogue was so cute! I'm happy it ended great for everyone, I'm a sucker for happy endings so that kind of covered up the bad things.

Trinity 37. Days of Blood & Starlight (Daughter of Smoke & Bone, #2) by Laini Taylor 7/23 (4 stars)
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

The last 200 pages of this book were AMAZING. I was disappointed that for me it was a bit slow paced and took awhile for it to finally draw my attention. But all the different plot twists and turns this took...I couldn't believe what was happening. It was soo good! It completely made up for the other things I didn't like much, just because it was just jaw dropping crazy!


message 41: by Trinity (new)

Trinity 38. Room by Emma Donoghue 7/25 (3 stars)
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Room is a special book. When I read the first few pages I had no idea how in the world I was going to continue this. The writing style, told in a 5 year olds perspective took awhile before I could finally make out what was going on. I was surprised with this book. It was nothing like I ever read before and I enjoyed it. I wish we had more of an ending but the closure was also a great way to end this book.

Trinity 39. Wonder by R.J. Palacio 7/27 (4 stars)
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I loved this story, Auggie is such an amazing and adorable kid and I was rooting for him till the very end. I knew what I was expecting from this book and I was still pleasantly surprised with how great this was. I loved reading through the different perspectives and I loved the lesson in this story. 100% positive I would have sat with August during lunch on the first day of school!

Trinity 40. Deity (Covenant, #3) by Jennifer L. Armentrout 8/4 (5 stars)
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

So remember how I said I was liking Seth's character in the last book? I. Take. That. Back.
I have little hope for him but I'm rooting for his to head to be cut off. Anyways WOW this book took an awesome turn and there were so many different twists and information and gods!!!


message 44: by Trinity (new)

Trinity 41. Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson 8/8 (4 stars)
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

This was such a nice easy book to read through. I enjoyed the storyline, the characters, Emily and Frank! I wish we had a complete ending but it was still a really cute book. Emily just grew into a confident girl who didn't need to be Sloane's sidekick. She was her own person and she can go through her life with her family and friends by her side. A perfect summer read!


message 45: by Trinity (new)

Trinity 42. It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover 8/9 (3 stars)
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

It's definitely not my favortie CoHo book, but I did enjoy this. I was moved with the reality of how this is in real life, I've read a number of book about abusive relationships but not one where the mother went through it first and then the daughter and while I close to tears with some scenes, I couldn't bring myself to love this book.


message 46: by Trinity (new)

Trinity 43. Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover 8/9 (5 stars)
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I want to start off by saying that I was not excited to read this book, I was when I read the synopsis but after finding out that we were going to be in the present time with Tate and then 6 years ago with Miles I didn't know how I was going to like that. How am I supposed to like Tate and Miles when in the next chapter he's loving Rachel? But I loved it!! I'm so happy I read this. This book brought me to tears and moved me, it was just so good! Definitely on my list of some favs from CoHo!

Trinity 44. Elixir (Covenant, #3.5) by Jennifer L. Armentrout 8/11 (5 stars)
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Oh gods, do not skip this novella. This is set right after Deity and told in Aiden's POV (which is a huge bonus for us Aiden fans). I started Apollyon before I started this but I felt there was something I was missing, like a storyline that I never read and that's what this is. We learn some interesting things with what Apollo is allowed to do and about love and hope. I loved this and it has hyped me up to jump right onto the next book. I love everyone in this series and I can't wait to see what's going to happen next. Onto Apollyon I go!!
