Review: Throne of Glass
Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is the type of book that I don’t feel the need to “review”. So many others have, both short and long reviews, that my thoughts have already been covered. Good stuff.

Review: The Butterfly Garden
The Butterfly Garden by Dot Hutchison
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is not the type of book I would normally read. I almost stopped a few times because it was horrifying to me. It was a good story though, obviously, I gave it 5 stars. It just challenged me in a very personal way. I would definitely read another book by Dot Hutchison!

Review: Crimson Death
Crimson Death by Laurell K. Hamilton
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Too much sex. No… too much of the same stuff from the last 15 books. Each time the sex started I was able to easily skim over it all until it was over. That saved me from suffering through 1/3 of the book. The actual story, the parts where Anita just does her job as a Marshal/Necromancer/Vampire Queen, etc., is better in this book. Still not the same quality as the first books, but interesting still.
I won’t spend money next time around. I’ll wait for a library copy. Also, someone show Ms. Hamilton how to use a thesaurus.

Review: The Life We Bury
The Life We Bury by Allen Eskens
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I only read this book because it was given to me in a book exchange. I used one of my audible credits so I could listen as I read. Before the first chapter was over the Narrator had me thoroughly engrossed. He was so amazing, and the story was so interesting that I listened nonstop and finished it in one day.
The story is more than one type of story. It’s more than the story of Mr Iverson. It’s a story about perception. Perception of ourselves and each other, and the assumptions we make.
It’s a terrific book, excellent writing, and spot on narration. Read it, better still, listen to it.

My swap partner for my first time participating, was Tula over at Primary School Library Diva . She sent me some amazing books, a bookmark, and a coloring journal. How cool is that?! I wasn’t so creative, I’m sorry Tula! Next time, I will remember how awesome my first swap was, and make it more fun!
Thanks to the Chaotic Goddess’s Beth & Angie, for putting this together, and for the hard work that I’m sure goes into it!

Review: Bird Box
Bird Box by Josh Malerman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
“Written with the narrative tension of The Road and the exquisite terror of classic Stephen King, Bird Box is a propulsive, edge-of-your-seat horror thriller, set in an apocalyptic near-future world—a masterpiece of suspense from the brilliantly imaginative Josh Malerman.
Something is out there . . .
Something terrifying that must not be seen. One glimpse and a person is driven to deadly violence. No one knows what it is or where it came from.”
That’s all I had to read, and I started it. Bird Box is fantastic! It was intense and harrowing, with a lead character who had me feeling her emotions all through the book. Cassandra Campbell was the narrator, and she did a superb job. I would definitely listen to her again.

Review: Blue Lily, Lily Blue
Blue Lily, Lily Blue by Maggie Stiefvater
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I liked this book best so far. I’m not sure if this is because I know the characters now, or if the story is progressing in a way I like. Either way, it’s still keeping me interested and curious.
My favorite is still the narrator Will Patton. He is amazing, and his voices are spot on. No matter what he narrates, I will listen.
