Okay, sorry, but what? Uglies by Scott Westerfeld was turned into a movie and will be released in two weeks!? These novels came out SO long ago, but I remember I really liked them as a teenager, so I‘m pumped for this development I completely missed up until now!

I had a similar experience when I posted a survey to my old blog and a lot of people replied and said the same thing about how they appreciated my humor, and I had no idea people even thought my posts were funny haha so it was heartwarming. I‘m sure people appreciate it more than you know!

Okay, that #gbbo treacle fiasco is probably my favorite moment in the history of that show omg 😂

If you want to read my longer reviews of these books, you can find me on Goodreads here: www.goodreads.com/user/show/28886009 or on my blog Reviews and Cake here: reviewsandcake.wordpress.com 📖🤓🧁

Collide: I liked it! Much better NA than Good Girl Complex. The relationship was healthier, and the characters were better. I had some issues, but I would read a sequel. 4 stars.

Good Girl Complex: Just no. The characters sucked, the trope sucked, the relationship sucked. I was entertained enough to finish it, but I also kind of hated it. One star.

Iris Kelly Doesn‘t Date: I didn‘t think I was going to finish this series initially, but I caved and got it as an ebook. It’s not perfect, but I honestly quite enjoyed it, very cozy, easy reading. 3.5 to 4 stars for me.

Fourth Wing: Another winner! I was hooked reading this on my honeymoon, and might have neglected my husband (!) slightly, but hey, he knew who he married. I was on the edge of my seat for most of it, just felt like the romance got in the way a little sometimes. 4.5 stars, reading the sequel already.

The Fragile Threads of Power: Hell yeah! LOVED being back in this world. Lila got on my nerves, but got to meet some old favorites and discover new, great characters in one of my favorite bookish worlds! 5 stars.

Hello, blue sky! Is this thing on? Figured for my first post I can share the last five books I read and give you some mini reviews! Feel free to share yours with me! #bookblogger

This is me shouting into the void
