Books: My Thoughts on The Borrow a Boyfriend Club

Image
The Borrow a Boyfriend Club by Page Powars My rating: 3 of 5 stars I am not someone who reads a lot of romance novels - romance manga, yes but novels, no. When I heard that this had a similar club to Ouran High School Host Club, I knew I had to read it. I loved Ouran High School Host Club but unfortunately, this did not reach the same level of enjoyment for me. I did listen to this one on audio because the narrator is the voice of Thoma in Genshin Impact. I thought the narration was good, but I did find myself being pulled out of the story multiple times. I had to refer to the ebook several times because I couldn't remember what I had listened to. Might just be how stressful my life is at the moment that is affecting my concentration, but this did not help my enjoyment of the story. In the end, this was still an entertaining read for me and I am glad that I was able to read it. View all my reviews

Books: My Thoughts on Have Yourself a Deadly Little Christmas (Year-Round Christmas Mystery 6)

Image
Have Yourself a Deadly Little Christmas by Vicki Delany My rating: 3 of 5 stars I didn't enjoy this one as much as the previous ones. I don't know if it's because the narrator of the audiobook changed or if it was because of how much we interacted with certain characters that I don't enjoy in this town, but it didn't hold the same festive feeling I usually get from this series. I will need to try and re-read it sometime physically and see if that experience improves the feel for me. A little disappointed, but this is still a series I enjoy and I look forward to future installments. View all my reviews
