A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas My rating: 4 of 5 stars More like a 3.5 I found this to be enjoyable and entertaining however I would say that while I was very invested toward the end of the book, my investment was in and out for the first 75% of the story. I did choose to listen to this one by audiobook as I had done with the previous two installments but there has been a change in narrator. Not sure if that change was also a reason for my trouble in really getting invested in this story? I would definitely consider reading this one again in the future. I think that on re-read I would choose to read a physical or digital copy and see if my enjoyment increased with that version. There are so many different audio versions available now that I would also be open to seeing if a different narration would work better for me. All in all, I did enjoy this installment and I am interested to see where this story goes in the next installments. View ...

Can't Stop Cursing You, Vol. 4 by Natsuko Uruma My rating: 4 of 5 stars This series had so much potential to have more volumes, it's sad that it ended so quickly. I really enjoyed this series overall, however I will say that the very end of this volume wasn't satisfying for me. Will definitely be looking into more of this mangaka's work in the future.

The Escape Game by Marissa Meyer My rating: 4 of 5 stars Really enjoyed this one! The game show aspect, the figuring out of the puzzles, and the mystery all really worked for me. Unfortunately, I didn't realize this was going to be the first in a series when I picked it up, which means I have to wait a while to continue with this story. That being said, I am really looking forward to seeing where the story goes from here. View all my reviews

The Decagon House Murders by Yukito Ayatsuji My rating: 3 of 5 stars It was enjoyable enough, but nothing really grabbed me. The narration was just ok. It almost sounded computer generated at times. All in all, I'm glad I finally read this one and I would consider reading the next one in this series. View all my reviews

Strange Houses by Uketsu My rating: 3 of 5 stars This ended up not being as good as I thought it was going to be. I really enjoyed the beginning portions of this book. That's where it felt most mysterious and where I was most engaged with the story. As things start to get revealed, my interest level started to decrease. Once I finished, I still found the story to have been enjoyable but it just wasn't as enjoyable as I thought it was going to be.  While I do own a physical copy of this book, I did choose to listen to the audio book. I did not look at the pdf that accompanies the audio book and maybe that would've helped my enjoyment level. I do have the manga version, so I'm hoping that a read of this story in that medium it will make this story as enjoyable as I had hoped it would be. View all my reviews

The Secret of Secrets by Dan Brown My rating: 3 of 5 stars While I found this to be an entertaining read, there were a few times where I thought the story dragged. Unfortunately, I believe this is probably my least favorite of the series. Overall, I did enjoy the story though and would continue in this series if another installment was released.
