Weekly Wrap-Up August 8th-14th



Managed to read six books this week. Five were physical books; one being an ARC. One was an e-ARC. And one was also a re-read.

Carry the Ocean(The Roosevelt #1) by Heidi Cullinan *****
Review here.


Stay With Me(Wait For You #3) by Jennifer L Armentrout *****(re-read)
Third time I've read this in less than a year. Seems I'm in constant need of Jax in my life.


Court of Fives(Court of Fives #1) by Kate Elliott **
Review to come next week.


Dirty Thoughts(Mechanics of Love #1) by Megan Erickson ***.5
Good fun romance. Not a lot to say really. Second half of the book was a lot stronger than the first. I loved Cal and his brothers fun relationships. Jenna was a pretty independent lady. And I'm looking forward to get my hands on the rest of the series upon their releases.


More Than Fashion(Chasing the Dream #3) by Elizabeth Briggs ****
Review to come.

What You Left Behind by Jessica Verdi ****.5
What a unique take on teen pregnancy and parenthood. I thought it was going to be good, but it was really good. Ryden is in this limbo where he's still holding on the past. He was unsure, selfish and a little lost. He's far from perfect but that's the draw of his character. Ryden is also very likable and honest. Ryden is holding so much in, carrying so many emotions around, trying to take on to many responsibilities. Watching him try to uphold his dreams for his future was kind of heartbreaking. You know everything is just going to hit a wall and because What You Left Behind is really honest and realistic the realization moment and the follow out from that was so well done. All the feels. Just everything about this book is so good; the writing, the characters, how sex was managed, Ryden actually having a wonderful and there mom. Just sososo good.
