Fourth Wing was actually terrible but I could not stop reading. That's the power of plot right there!!

Sometimes I do get dragged into the hype. I surprised myself by reading It Ends With Us and liking it. I'm not a Colleen Hoover fan but when I saw that Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni were perfectly cast in the movie adaptation I got excited.

I actually haven't read that one, but might just to satisfy my curiosity...

Atria sent me a beautiful copy I'm coveting it.

I read Verity but was not impressed. Although I included it in a roundup lol.

Okay, Fourth Wing being Ali Hazelwood plus Stephenie Meyer is so spot on. I had SO many Twilight flashbacks while reading...and I think that's why I loved it so much. It's like a big hug of the early aughts fantasy book world.

Haha I totally get that! I think if I'd gone into it expecting more Twilight vibes, I would have liked it a lot more!
