Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

Goodreads Rating: 4.44⭐
My Rating: 2.5⭐

Okay I don’t think it’s any secret that I have very lukewarm feelings about this book. In fact I DNF’d the sequel. I just… don’t care 🙈 I guess I get why this has high ratings? It just didn’t do anything for me. I didn’t care about the characters, the heist, nothin.

The Cabin at the End of the World by Paul Tremblay

Goodreads Rating: 3.35⭐
My Rating: 4⭐

I totally get why this horror/thriller doesn’t work for everyone. But I was honestly scared shitless the entire time I was reading. And the ending was (personally) perfectly unsettling. It’s open ended AF which a lot of people don’t love, but I thought it was the perfect way to end this particular story.

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Number of Ratings: 3,998,014
Goodreads Rating: 3.93⭐
My Rating: 5⭐

This isn’t exactly a mind blowing opinion.. But the average rating is a lot lower than what I personally gave it so we’re rolling with it. This is my favorite classic of all time. It’s perfect (feel free to fight me on it 😅)

Scream All Night by Derek Milman

Number of Ratings: 1, 276
Goodreads Rating: 3.78⭐
My Rating: 5⭐

Again this isn’t anything super controversial… I just really liked this semi-pointless, quirky novel. It’s super character driven and it’s really just an exploration of this outrageous family. It’s humorous which is definitely a subjective and risky thing in books. But it was a favorite of mine from 2018!

Fix Her Up by Tessa Bailey

Goodreads Rating: 3.58⭐
My Rating: 5⭐

I totally get why people didn’t like this 😅 But I was HERE for the dirty talk. And I personally loved Georgie’s personal journey throughout this book.

Sawkill Girls by Claire Legrand

Goodreads Rating: 3.70⭐
My Rating: 5⭐

Omg it physically pains me knowing that this book only has a 3.7 average 😅 One of my favorite books of all time! This book is super strange and dark and uber feminist. But it’s also weird so I guess I understand…

The Vanishing Deep by Astrid Scholte

Goodreads Rating: 3.68⭐
My Rating: 2⭐

Oh man I really didn’t like this book. I listened to this on audio at like 3x speed because I just wanted it to be over already.. This book was super inconsistent in it’s world building and rules and it felt like the author just tried to put too much into there.

The Lady Rogue by Jenn Bennett

Goodreads Rating: 3.70⭐
My Rating: 2⭐

I remember the ending of this making me viscerally angry 😅 The entire book is following the characters meandering all over this fantasy world and then the climactic battle lasts for like… a page.

Sanctuary by Alexandria House

Goodreads Rating: 4.47⭐
My Rating: 3⭐

There’s nothing wrong with this book or this rating. I just didn’t completely click with this romance. I think part of it is because it’s novella, so there aren’t quite enough pages to make me fall for these characters.

Elixir by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Goodreads Rating: 4.38⭐
My Rating: 3⭐

I went with another novella! Again there’s nothing wrong with this novella. It just didn’t add much to the story. In fact this book ends in exactly the same position it started. It just kinda gives some insight into another characters actions.

Catherine House by Elisabeth Thomas

Goodreads Rating: 3.11⭐
My Rating: 3.5⭐

But the lowest rated book on my entire list is Catherine House and I honestly don’t think it deserves that low of a rating! This book weird and kinda pointless but I also never wanted to stop reading!
