Theo Silva is a walking, talking, breathing dream of a man. Too bad he's fictional. Ugh.

The writing plunges from alright to bad when describing the main characters' eyes. The scenes/plot so far feel 'been there done that'. The main couple's interactions aren't that interesting, but whatever. I'm actually enjoying the heck out of this book. And at least Kai is fun and flirtatious instead of brooding and grumpy. Thank Roberts for that.

I loved Theo so much, and did this book really just make me tear up for him this early?

My most anticipated couple let's go!! Theo Silva, I've had my eyes on you for three books. Please, please deliver!

Does Elsie Silver have anything against women in their thirties because even her childhood friends to lovers trope still features age gap, haha. When you're kids, even 1 or 2 years difference can change your dynamic. Jasper and Sloane have 6 years age gap, but they behaved like they were much closer in age in flashbacks. It's like she had to keep her FMCs below 30 no matter what.

From the two previous books, Jasper hasn't stood out to me at all and Sloane was just introduced, so I have no expectation.

A cute shojo manga series featuring a sweet, blushing, sunshine MMC and a physically strong FMC?
Take my money.

I am excited. I'd always wanted to try one of Naoki Urasawa's 'three masterpieces', but I hadn't gotten around to read it until now.

The slow burn is slow... but I love it. It fits their personalities really well.

I can't get enough of Ghost's interactions with Tobias. I wish it happens more often.

Aahh I love these two already.

I'm glad these characters are introduced in side stories after the main plot was finished.

At first, this looked like a normal, contemporary slow-burn romance with a touch of mental health issues. I was having a good time seeing the MCs just interact until crazy things started to happen. Suddenly it's... sci-fi? Thriller? What? Now I have no clue where the series is going, but the unpredictability actually makes this exciting!

I was, or maybe still am, a SAO hater. At least I hate the anime. So why am I reading this? It's complicated, but let's just say that this massively popular franchise still intrigues me and I'm hoping the original light novels do some things better than the anime adaptation. So far, I'm feeling good about this one.

I know the title and cover isn’t convincing at all but this came recommended and I was happy at how good and well-written this is. The hate, the indifference, the tension. Ugh. My heart hurts and my stomach clenches for Jem. I love it.

Currently on Vol. 7: Asuka’s an adorable cinnamon roll and the stories are funny and wholesome!

Ooh, this is really good!

Are you telling me that D. N. Angel is officially completed?? In 2021?? This was my childhood manga. Nearly all my life I thought this series was forever in hiatus that I've stopped checking. Now it's done, all done!

This book clearly doesn't have an editor but the writing is pretty decent. It flows nice and easy that I can just breeze through. Plus I loved all the angst/hurt/comfort.

I had too much fun reading about Tindwyl roasting Elend.

So I heard this is pretty much Elend’s book? See me jump in excitement because Elend’s my fave.

This was very engaging, but once these two got together, I'm gradually losing interest, unfortunately.

This... has been rather slow so far. I liked the characters, though. Their interactions are probably my favorite parts of the book so far (and Elend I want more of Elend!), which is a bit funny considering what I've gathered from the internet is that Sanderson's weakest point is his characters. I guess I'm just that type of reader who's always ultra-focusing on characters. I do that with shows/movies too.

So far, this book is wholly told from Darius' POV and I wouldn't have it any other way.
