Five Star Friday: April 2021

Five Star Friday is my version of the monthly wrap-up. On the first Friday of each month, I will share my five-star reads from the previous month. Fingers crossed, I have lots of books to tell you about.

It's always exciting to find those 5-star books, and in April, 5 of the 32 books I read rated 5-stars.

Five Star Friday: March 2021

Five Star Friday is my version of the monthly wrap-up. On the first Friday of each month, I will share my five-star reads from the previous month. Fingers crossed, I have lots of books to tell you about.

Where did March go? My reading lagged a little due to vacation and training (audiobooks took a hard dip), but I still managed to finish 33 books, and 6 earned the full 5-stars from me.

Top Ten Tuesday: Highly Rated

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's topic is...

Highly Rated!

Once again, I am going off topic. This is something I have been seeing around the blogosphere, and I have been wanting to do for quite a while.

I went to my YA read-shelf, and looked at books with the highest average ratings (for books with over 500 reviews). I was curious as to how my rating compared to the average, and this is what I found.

Blog Tour: What I Like About You - Marisa Kantor

What I Like About You
Marisa Kanter
Genre: Young Adult, Contemporary, Romance
Publisher: Simon & Schuster
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
Goodreads

Can a love triangle have only two people in it? Online, it can... but in the real world, it's more complicated. In this debut novel Marisa Kanter explores what happens when internet friends turn into IRL crushes.

There are a million things that Halle Levitt likes about her online best friend, Nash.

He’s an incredibly talented graphic novelist. He loves books almost as much as she does. And she never has to deal with the awkwardness of seeing him in real life. They can talk about anything…

Except who she really is.

Because online, Halle isn’t Halle—she’s Kels, the enigmatically cool creator of One True Pastry, a YA book blog that pairs epic custom cupcakes with covers and reviews. Kels has everything Halle doesn’t: friends, a growing platform, tons of confidence, and Nash.

That is, until Halle arrives to spend senior year in Gramps’s small town and finds herself face-to-face with real, human, not-behind-a-screen Nash. Nash, who is somehow everywhere she goes—in her classes, at the bakery, even at synagogue.

Nash who has no idea she’s actually Kels.

If Halle tells him who she is, it will ruin the non-awkward magic of their digital friendship. Not telling him though, means it can never be anything more. Because while she starts to fall for Nash as Halle…he’s in love with Kels.
