Review: The Silence of the Lambs

The Silence of the Lambs The Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was absolutely fantastic! I enjoyed it immensely, and very much want to read all of the other books in this series.

I accidentally listened to the end of the book via the audiobook, which I was unaware is an ABRIDGED version. So that was terrible. It also means that I actually did not take four months to finish this book. The audiobook basically just spoiled the ending for me, so I had to wait a few months to try and let it dissipate from my brain a bit before I actually finished reading it properly.

Review: The Show Must Go On

The Show Must Go On by Kate Karyus Quinn My rating: 4 of 5 stars Because lucky me, even though I am 100 percent talking out of my ass, it turns out my ass is a secret genius. Wow. The Show Must Go On was surprisingly great. And by “great” I mean that this is very likely the best romance I’ve ever experienced (including books, movies, tv, etc.). It was also filled to the brim with funny lines like the one above, so for the first time in my life I found myself constantly laughing-out-loud while reading a book. But… then the ending happened… and it left me feeling insanely disappointed, which is what knocked a whole star off of my rating. Will actually walks over to [the bookshelf], like he's unable to resist the siren call of literature. Obviously, despite losing the glasses, his nerd instincts are still strong. First and foremost, since it doesn’t look like there are any reviews by people who have ever read Quinn before, I just want to st

Review: Scarlet

Scarlet by Marissa Meyer My rating: 5 of 5 stars Scarlet Benoit by Lizgigler on DeviantArt Wooooo yeeaaahhhhh Scaarlett!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was loads better than Cinder. Mostly because of Scarlet and Wolf, heheheh. Cinder’s POVs were always just like whatever, but when it went back to Scarlet that’s when the party started. It was also great because Scarlet’s POVs were loongg and Cinder’s were shoort. No beef against Cinder as a character, she know she my homegirl, but her POV is just not the most interesting all the time. I had really low hopes going into this book two of the Lunar Chronicles, mostly because of the fiasco that was Cinder. Okay I’m being way too hard on Cinder. I liked it. It was good… you know just a basic three star book. BUT SCARLET ON THE OTHER HAND. MMMH. Wonderful. Scarlet was tons of fun. This book had way better twists and turns and was overall just more enjoyable than Cinder. I don’t think I necessarily liked Scarl

Review: The Picture of Dorian Gray

The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde My rating: 4 of 5 stars 3.5 stars. Oh my. Oh my my my. The Picture of Dorian Gray .... Hm. This was a good book, to put it bluntly. It's quite the interesting tale about "be careful what you wish for" and "don't be a dickhead, dickhead". I had exactly zero knowledge of what this was about when I started it, I just saw that it doesn't have many pages and thought it wouldn't take too long to finish. I was wrong. My main problem with this book stemmed from my inability to keep my focus on it. It amazed even me just how incredibly easily my thoughts wandered, to the point where I had read half a chapter but had no recollection of it. This happened very prevalently during Chapter 11. I re-read this chapter three times and even audiobooked it, but for the life of me I had no idea what was going on. But that was it. Nothing was going on. That chapter ended up being about... How do
