Not as scary as I thought

Revisado: 05-18-24

It’s good but the movie was definitely scarier and bone chilling. Gaiman’s voice acting leaves much to be desired tbh

If you think this is gonna go the way the movie adaptations have gone, you are sorely mistaken—by which I mean the book is waaaaay better

Dog povs are always the best

Revisado: 08-02-23

Don’t think anyone else could’ve done Buck’s voice any justice than schreiber. Story was a harrowing tale of the transformation from domesticity to natural instinct and just kept me rooting for Buck all the way. Loved the plot progression and def recommend!

Chef’s kiss

Revisado: 07-22-23

Pike really did Austen true justice with their narration. Truly. Loved the story—found myself just dabbing during intense clapback scenes and Elizabeth’s character was a spectacle to read. Loved the narration though there were some mix-ups sometimes between Jane and Lizzie’s characters but other than that it was real good ~~

Fanatic Love Kills (literally)

Revisado: 11-10-22

Is it a pandemic book? No. It's a post-COVID post-apocalyptic pandemic book. That description is confusing but accdg to Brown's author's note, that's what they're going with. Not sure if it's Gibson or Leddy who voiced Jamie, but, uh... you didn't do a good job. There. I said it. The VA for Andrew practically saved this audiobook cuz they got the assignment. I understand Jamie had something like depression--but the VA didn't do well in going beyond that. Story-wise? Cliché. It's America. Ofc it's full of killing and guns and roadtrips (or walktrips). Plot sequence? Could've done better. Will I read any follow up to this? No.

Twin Cities

Revisado: 11-10-22

Oh yeah. This is one of those novels that you need to listen to an audiobook of to really really appreciate. Because, spoilers: there are a lot of songs. Thanks to Banks for their attempt in singing and I'm sure you struggled with it (im joking). The dialect is one thing you'll have to look out for. I've never been to New Orleans. Never met anyone from there so it took me a couple of chapters (and good earphones) to understand the dialect and slang. Representation? Jennings nailed it. Worldbuilding? Jennings made TWO. Conclusion? Buy and read it and you won't regret it, baby (ha see what i did there)

Sleeping Beauty Retelling & Reversed

Revisado: 11-10-22

Here we are again in the mania of modern retelling haha. But seriously, Vedder took a nice take on this. Ofc there are some flaws, especially in characterization of Shane and Fie ('strong' in the conventional masculine way) and the obvious antagonist 🔺️I do love that Vedder stuck to some of the 'original' fairytale plot points with their spin on it. Now, the performance by Dorcus was just amazing. It was emotional and each of the three POVs were distinct that I had no problems. Overall, cliché but a good read I'd want to see more of.

HIMYM meets Social Media

Revisado: 11-10-22

I already did a very extensive review of this on Goodreads but I'll just say it again: this book is phenomenal, writing and plot-wise. Loved, loved the smooth shifts from POV to POV. It was quite refreshing. Though I think Newbern (the narrator) struggled on that. Lots of characters but Bays managed to tie them all together quite nicely into a tapestry and not a botch crochet job. Conclusion? Buy and read it!
