(ReRead 2026) I thought it was time to reread The Hunger Games. I first read this book in 2012 and have been meaning to finish the trilogy and read the prequels for a while. I’m making time this year, especially since another movie is coming out. I prefer reading the books before watching the movies because adaptations often leave out or change a lot from the books.
After reading this book a second time and refreshing myself with the story, I can’t wait to read the second book very soon. My original rating of five stars and review of The Hunger Games still stand from 2012.
A Vow of Eternal Night is Lily Crozier’s debut novel delivering a Beauty and the Beast retelling, but this time the beast is a vampire. If vampires are coming back in popularity in Romance/Fantasy novels, I’m here for it. As a reader who never gave up her obsession with vampires and always picks up books featuring them, I couldn’t pass up Vow of Eternal Night by Lily Crozier. The book cover alone sold me before I even read the synopsis.
I read About That Kiss by Jill Shalvis eight years ago but realized I never reviewed it, so I decided to read it again to review it. Thank goodness I did because after reading it a second time, I realized how much I enjoy Jill Shalvis’s stories, especially the Heartbreaker Bay series that introduced me to her books. Each book introduces characters that feel like family and a great blend of humor and mystery, just like About That Kiss.
