Review: His Eyes

His Eyes His Eyes by Renee Carter
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I was honestly highly anticipating this adorable sounding contemporary by Renee Carter. A YA novel with a blind male protagonist is not something I'd personally read before, and as such, this book intrigued me, and had been on my TBR list for quite some time. I definitely ended up enjoying it overall, as I found myself liking both main characters, and their quirky personalities. In particular, I love how Amy is able to see past Tristan's disability right from the start, and is truly the first person to encourage him back on the path to living his life. However, I felt it was a tad too short, and I was disappointed that the reader doesn't truly get much of a feel for the relationship developing between Amy and Tristan. As well, I felt the character of Lexus was massively overdone, and didn't really seem believable. It was overall definitely still an enjoyable, quick, read, and I adored the ending. I only wish there'd been a little bit more to Amy and Tristan's budding relationship, and that Lexus' character had been written in a way that made her seem more believable and real, but I'm definitely still glad I took a chance on reading this one.

First Line Friday: Courting Mr. Emerson

Happy Friday Everyone :) Since it is Friday, I'll once again be participating in First Line Friday which is hosted by Hoarding Books .  For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson. About The Book: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them. But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The quest...

First Line Friday: The Inheritance

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you're all had a great week and that you're staying safe no matter where you are. I haven't been leaving my house much lately other than for work, and because of this, I've had lots of reading time on my hands. Last year my hubby and I took a road trip that included a visit to our favorite bookstore, and we decided to each pick a book that wouldn't be our first choice. The purpose was to try and read something that still interested us, but would maybe be a bit different than what we would typically go for first. My pick ended up being The Inheritance by Michael Phillips, a book I actually ended up being quite excited about, despite never having heard of it prior. Unfortunately, it ended up sitting on my bookshelf ever since, and I'm so thankful I finally got the opportunity to pick it up and start reading it this past week. The Inheritance by Michael Phillips: About the Book: The death of the clan patriarch h...
