i'm all alone, theres no one here besides me ...


it's been a crazy few weeks 
and while the self- isolation has been enforced more in the last week-ish 
not much has changed in my life, since i stay home most of the time anyways 
i've been mostly ignoring the news 
bc it's all the same stuff


however 
it's been a.week! 

to escape the craziness, and my cold, i grabbed a bunch of books

so here's what's on my lap these days 



Straight on til morning - twisted tale 

i love the twisted tale series, and i love peter pan, so this seemed perfect. but there was too much tinkerbell for my liking. i hate her lol no idea why, always have. 
hook and wendy should've had more time together... but that's just me cheering for the villain 


because you'll never meet me

i liked this one in the beginning, and then it got weird. Ollie was cool, but Mo is a jerk. the boys are unable to meet each other for medical reasons, so their common doctor puts them in contact via letter writing. 
The "twist" at the end was ... weird, to say the least. i'm not going to bother with book two. 


girl from everywhere 

i couldn't even tell you what this one is about. pirates and maps ... that's all i remember. the writing wasn't great and the story wasn't captivating. i hate dnf'ing but it definitely wasn't memorable. 


tweet cute 

a new ya contemp that everyone seems to love. I thought it was cute... but that's about it. when two kids take over their parent's twitter accounts for their businesses, they don't realize that they are each other's competition. a local mom&pop bakery fighting a massive burger chain fighting over a grilled cheese sandwich makes for a recipe of cute teen lit. 


midnight at the electric 

this one had been on my list forever. finally picked it up at the library, randomly, while i was grabbing my holds before everything closed. and i loved it. 
a story spanning generations (of 120 years) told through letters of the past, and jumping back into the present, it keeps you glued to the pages to find out what happens next. Slowly it begins to get predictable, but that doesn't change how fascinating it is. 



knife of never letting go 

this is my final book for the week, and its about time! i've had this one since it first came out, but i finally found the other two in the series with the same cover (bc bookwormproblems!) so i can finally start it. so excited, hopefully my expectations are met. 



Hope everyone is staying safe <3
