Two Line Reviews

Two Line Reviews 📚 #2

Welcome to #2 of Two Line (well 2 sentences really) Reviews! Let’s do this!

The Mystery of Black Hollow Lane

Extremely unpredictable & fun Middle Grade novel! Amazing friend group & a very gripping story.

A Vow so Bold and Deadly

Amazing wrap up to the A Curse so Dark and Lonely series! Awesome characters, unpredictable & engaging story.

Heartstopper: Vol 4

I thought the eating disorder sub plot was very well handled in the book. Story is cute, gripping as well as heartbreaking & heartwarming.

The Deck of Omens

Conclusion wrapped up nicely but not sure if this book was better than book 1. Very mysterious & unpredictable and I also love the creepy setting!

Lost in the Never Woods

Read kind of like a middle grade more than YA, as the characters felt/acted young. Loved the tie between Peter Pan retelling, dark fantasy & mystery!

Wrap Up

Wrap Up since I’ve been MIA

Post author By Eliza Eames
Post date April 15, 2021

Hey all! So yes, I’ve been MIA but life has been crazy! I’m finally settling into a new schedule and want to get back to the things I enjoy doing! Like blogging. So let’s wrap up the books I have read since my last wrap up in January!
Let’s jump into it.

Audiobook

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling

I have been busy so haven’t had a chance for a lot of physical reading. Coincidently audiobooks have been amazing. I took this time to relisten to some books so that I could finally continue or finish the series. So I am finally update/finished the Wayward Children series & Shades of Magic series. I’m also finally listening to Bookish and the Beast by Ashley Poston. The sequel for Crown of Coral and Pearl will be next up so I can finally finish off that one too!

Physical Read

Got to two of my most anticipated releases! The Mask Falling is book 4 in The Bone Season series which it has been a F*CKING LONG WAIT for! It was amazing so well worth the wait. Also picked up The Prison Healer as soon as I got my copy and it was so damn good! That cliffhanger was insane! I’m so glad it’s only a couple months to wait for book 2.

Currently Reading

This is Not a Ghost Story by Andrea Portes

Will be starting This is Not a Ghost Story as soon as I finish this post! I’m also currently listening to Bookish and the Beast which is pretty good so far.

Scribd “Saved” Spring Clean!

Post author By Eliza Eames
Post date February 16, 2021

Welcome to a possibly confusing post! So, we all know the unhaul posts where you take books off your shelves because you either don’t plan to read them anymore or you’ve read it and didn’t love it enough to keep it. Well after that I bought you my Goodreads “Want to read” Clear Out! Which was basically the same thing but I was removing books from my Goodreads shelf that I am no longer interested in. Welllllll, today I bring you a Scribd “Saved” Spring Clean! Firstly I would like to say, no, it is in fact not spring… Nor is it close to spring here in Australia…. But the 3 Ss just sounded good together… Secondly, if you didn’t know when you have a scribd membership you can ‘save’ eBooks, audiobooks, graphic novels, etc. to the ‘Saved’ Section so you can more easily find them. That section is what I’m clearing out! I have never been through and removed books from this & I have had the account for at least 6 years now… I think it’s time!
Let’s jump in!

eBooks I’ve read…

Unread eBooks…

An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson

Audiobooks I’ve read…

Unread audiobooks…

Who else needs to do a major clear out of their Scribd saved list?!

Two Line Reviews

Two Line Reviews 📚 #1

Post author By Eliza Eames
Post date February 10, 2021

I found myself scrolling through the Reader tab looking at other peoples posts and while doing so I was thinking that I should do some mini reviews for the books I read in January as I didn’t review ANY of them! Next second THIS post came up called ‘One-Line Reviews #2’ from Pooled Ink and it was a perfect fit for what I was thinking about! So no, this was not my idea & you should definitely go check out Pooled Ink!

So, welcome to my first Two Line Reviews post! I didn’t think 1 line was quite enough for me, so 2 it is. I will try & do these frequently and they will include the books that I haven’t reviewed which will generally be audiobooks & graphic novels that I’ve read. I’ll try and aim for 5 books each post and hopefully post twice a month depending on how many books I read that month!
Enough talking, let’s jump in!

Bee and PuppyCat: Volume 1 by Natasha Allegri

This graphic novel was just weird & confusing. I didn’t get anything out of it and I didn’t see any point to it but the art was cute.

The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow

I don’t personally enjoy the lyrical type writing style of this one as I find it excess & sometimes confusing. This one I also found slow & kinda boring which I think is definitely influenced by the writing style having so much floweriness (yes, that’s a word now) & excess detail.

Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas

Absolutely amazing representation & Characters and the plot was engaging and fun. I didn’t personally like the insta love romance, just not my thing, and I just don’t think it quite lived up to the hype everyone has been giving it.

To Best the Boys by Mary Weber

This one was so much fun and had amazing main characters that I just loved so much! To Best the Boys was also very engaging & I was hooked from the very beginning.

Neverworld Wake by Marisha Pessl

I expected this to be a fairly common YA Mystery but nope, let’s throw a fantastical element in there! This was so interesting, gripping & well written.

Wrap Up

Reading Slump? 📚 January Wrap Up

Post author By Eliza Eames
Post date February 3, 2021
2 Comments on Reading Slump? 📚 January Wrap Up

In January I tried 4 times to read a book physically but I just wasn’t feeling it and ended up putting it down after a chapter or two OR swapping to audiobook. I can’t be sure if this is an actual slump or if I’m just not in the mood for those books. As I was in Bookopoloy ReadAThon I didn’t have a huge amount of control over what I could choose to read. I’ve been in a huge Mystery/Thriller kick lately and I just didn’t have books of those genres that could fit in the challenges, so I was left with a lot of Fantasy which I haven’t been in the mood for lately… I won’t talk about the ones I stopped reading as I didn’t read more than 2 chapters of any of them & I’m not even counting them as DNFs.

Graphic Novel

Audiobooks

The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix. E Harrow

Currently Listening

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling

Well that is all the books I read in January. Definitely not my best month but not too bad considering I was struggling to pick up a book. Thank goodness for audiobooks!!
