Learning Loving Exploring

 So I know this trilogy came out like a million years ago and I’m just way behind, but here we go.  I listened to the audiobooks for the first two books in the His Dark Materials trilogy. (I have a hold on the last one at my library).  A lot of people love these books. But honestly, I wasn’t so impressed with the first one. I liked it. It was good. But it wasn’t as super awesome as people make it seem. To me, at least. But I loved the second one! I’m really not sure why, but I thought the second one was SO much more interesting than the first one. And now I am so excited to read the last one.  The Golden Compass: 3 stars The Subtle Knife: 4 stars Have you read this trilogy? What did you think?

 Hello everyone! I recently finished reading See Her Die by Melinda Leigh. Oh. My. God. That book was amazing! I love thrillers and mysteries and this one was soooo good! It has so many interesting aspects and so much that I did not see coming.  This is the second of the Bree Taggert books (I haven't read the first one, so you can definitely read this one first if you want, although I believe they do talk about what happened in the first book). I did recently find out that the first one, Cross Her Heart, is available for free with Amazon Prime so I will definitely be reading that.  In this book, Bree Taggert has recently been named sheriff and she strives to be a good leader while struggling to take care of her recently orphaned niece and nephew. They get a call about a shooting with no evidence that a shooting even took place. Just one not-so-trustworthy witness. And then they find a body.  I received a free ebook in exchange for an honest review. Rating: 4 stars ...

  I recently read The Acceptance by Ramona Finn. I received a free ebook through NetGalley for my opinion (and I was supposed to read this forever ago. Oops.)  Better late than never 😬  The Acceptance is the first book in the GEOs series. The story is set in a future where Earth had been destroyed by a virus. (So, it’s already a perfect read for 2020.)  Because of the virus, some people moved underground to avoid it. The protagonist, Tylia, has lived below ground her whole life. Scientists search for a cure and some people are chosen every so often to help (if they can pass the deadly test.)  Tylia’s mother is sick, dying and doesn’t have much time left. Her best option is to hack into The Acceptance and make it out alive so her mother can get the care she needs.  This book is PERFECT for 2020. It’s a mix of 2020 and The Hunger Games.  I really liked this book. I’m a sucker for dystopian books and this was an interesting twist on a Hunger Games type o...

  Hey everyone! My name is Sophia. I love books and everything bookish, along with traveling (and different histories, cultures, and languages), and (of course) Disney.  I’m going to do my best to keep this blog updated weekly (at least).  I’m @learninglovingexploring on Instagram.  Thanks for checking this out!
