Hi everyone! My name is Jess. I’m a 24-year-old English major. I love reading and writing, and what better way to do that than to review books?

โœจDo you reread books?โœจ ๐ŸŒธOMG yes absolutely โœจDo you reread books?โœจ

๐ŸŒธOMG yes absolutely! Even though my TBR is huge I canโ€™t help but go back to some of my favorites to remind myself why I loved them in the first place. I can only do this with a select few books tho, Iโ€™m super picky! What about you? 
~~~โ€ข~~~
๐ŸŒธHello, lovelies and happy Thursday! Iโ€™ve been trying to read Shadow and Bone for the TV series but honestly itโ€™s been kind of a drag so Iโ€™m reading an ARC in the meantime. I just want my Crow babies. 

๐ŸŒธWhat did you think of Shadow and Bone? Should I just skip and watch the TV series ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿคฃ?

๐ŸŒธCR: Shadow and Bone (33%) and Malice (55%)

๐ŸŒธThe Shadows Between Us started off so incredibly strong but inevitably fell short at the end for me. The motivations were good but not great, the relationship between the love interests felt forced and not natural, and the twist at the end was unexpected (and not in a good way). 

Overall, it was okay but not great. I wish the evil protagonist angle was explored more.

๐ŸŒธ Iโ€™ve never read anything by Bowman, but Iโ€™m sold! In The Infinity. Courts, Nami is murdered. She wakes up in Infinity, a seemingly peaceful afterlife. But what she discovers and has to undertake is anything but peaceful when she realizes Ophelia, the AI tech used on Earth, has taken over the afterlife and enslaves humans. She gets rescued by a rebel band of humans who are revolting against the Residents who use the humans as slaves. 

I really, really enjoyed this first book in the series! Nami is a character that changes and grows, the writing is spectacular and mesmerizing, and I absolutely breezed through it. The band of rebels was cliche at times but it worked with the plot. Iโ€™m not usually a huge fan of Sci Fi but i enjoyed it a lot in this book!

Overall, highly recommend this book! ๐Ÿ˜ itโ€™s out now! Full review is on my blog at https://blog.jemedits.com or link in bio!

๐ŸŒธ Also I really feel like TOG also deserves a live adaptation! It has serious GOT vibes and could easily be way better! What do you think?

๐ŸŒธ Itโ€™s Friday, lovelies! Sadly I have a lot of work to make up, but the rest of my evening will consist of finishing TCOGB! So excited to share my thoughts with you all! Itโ€™s been such a wild ride already with SO much steam ๐Ÿ‘€ Are you excited for the TCOGB release this month?

๐ŸŒธ Happy Thursday, lovelies! I started classes this week again and boy am I stressed. Especially since I have 1 in person class for the first time in a year and a half... itโ€™s kind of surreal.
