The Calculating Stars by Mary Robinette Kowal

adventurous challenging medium-paced

4.0

I really enjoyed Elma's characters. She is this WASP pilot who is so rockin' in the cockpit but in her daily life she struggles like every woman/wife. I loved the alternate reality of the 1950-60s with a twist to the space race. I did feel like I wanted more at the end.

Acting on Impulse by Mia Sosa

lighthearted fast-paced

3.0

I enjoyed seeing Tori and Carter bond almost instantly. It was a smig long winded in terms of the book as a whole. With that though, I don't think I could have handle it as well if the I learned that man I loved was famous and I had to deal with the paparazzi.

Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng
Did not finish book. Stopped at 40%.

This is my third attempt at reading this book. Something is just off for me. I think I am done trying on this one.

Someday, Someday by Emma Scott

emotional fast-paced

5.0

Just WOW! I will admit that quite a few bits were hard to read about Max and Silas's rough times but their love was a warmth you felt through the pages. I feel like I have so much more to say but can't find the words. What a beautiful read.

When Ashes Fall by Marni Mann

dark emotional reflective tense fast-paced

4.0

This was heartbreakingly beautiful. I felt so much for Alix. Grief isn't easy and manifest for each person differently. I was happy when she found the sunshine in Smith.

Eyes Turned Skyward by Rebecca Yarros

emotional medium-paced

4.0

Yarros has a way of making you feel every emotions that the characters are going through. Paisley and Jagger felt so real that I was completely invested in their journey.

Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë

dark slow-paced

2.0

This started off so weird but picked up a bit. I feel like this one may need another go at a later time.

The Fall by May Archer

lighthearted mysterious fast-paced

3.0

I enjoyed this one. Not too steamy in terms of the intimate scenes. A surprising wrench in the road. I was happy to see Silas and Everett in the end.
