I only read Lily Morton’s story. Sadly it was just ok for me. There’s clueless and then there’s these two guys. Throw in a LOT of meddling (Like Lucy Lennox level) and I was put off. I need to contact the maker of the Lily Blinders and say they are defective. Oh wait. I’m the maker. Maybe that’s why the patent is still pending. Oh well. ...more
I can’t remember if my fear of birds came after reading this many years ago and watching the movie. If it came after, this surely didn’t help. And yetI can’t remember if my fear of birds came after reading this many years ago and watching the movie. If it came after, this surely didn’t help. And yet I read it again yesterday. I recently watched the movie again which made me want to revisit the story. Plus it’s October and that means it’s time for something spooky. It’s a one sitting read. Only 55 pages. And yet it’s more unsettling than horror stories of much bigger page count. The movie and this novella have little in common. But both are creepy.
I remember when I was little, we visited where it was filmed. We went in the schoolhouse, walked around. Maybe that’s when my fear manifested. I’m not scared of all birds. Just large groups of them mostly. So yeah I’m thinking my fear came after this. ...more
⭐️ ⭐️⭐️.5/5 Stars. Rounding up because anything that gets me reading these days deserves that courtesy.
Look guys. My Lily Blinders (Patent pending) s⭐️ ⭐️⭐️.5/5 Stars. Rounding up because anything that gets me reading these days deserves that courtesy.
Look guys. My Lily Blinders (Patent pending) shorted out at multiple places during this book. I saw flaws. Kind of glaring ones. And I don’t care. Because I also thought it was sweet and cute and fun. But I do need to talk about them. So I guess I care but I suppose my enjoyment overrode the care.
This is what you’ll have to get past if you want to enjoy this book and also what I liked:
⚠️This is not the same Dean as we’ve met previously. His himbo ways are essentially explained away by pot and dyslexia. I know it sounds shallow but I kind of wanted him to just be a himbo because he was. ...more

Can’t say I minded much as it was pretty cute and awfully adorable. I hadn’t read the others in the series and did not feel lost although I will look into them now. This was very short but it still took me forever to read because I simply can’t do it still too much right now. But I’m glad I read this because it made me smile. ...more

This will be a lazy review with no quotes or gifs. For one thing, I’m still not in a review writing mood and I also don’t feel like going on my desktop. I see far too much of that thing during the week. For another, I think this book is one where it’s best to go in as blind as possible. Maybe not full on Sandra Bullock Bird Box but the less known the better.
I’m giving it four stars. I could hardly put it down. That being said, there were a few things I struggled with. However, ultimately, I enjoyed the rest too much to rate lower.
✅ The format of this was unique and creative. Short chapters with little pictures and Easter eggs in between. That really worked for me. And my recent attention span. ✅ August and Jack. Codependent and obsessive? Unhealthy? Um…just a little bit. I ate it up with a spoon. Don’t judge me. I know who I am. ...more

Note: This book is an anthology and my review and rating are only for book one. I may read some of the other stories in the future and adjust the rating. There is another m/m included and what looks to be one or two m/m/f’s but they may be m/f/m. I can’t tell from the descriptions so I’ll have to check them out to see. Not really interested if they are m/f/m. Also this is currently only 99 cents! So I still consider it worth my money. I’m cheap. ...more

I’m sadly tapping out of this one.
I was liking this at the beginning. Then it began to not work for me. I felt exhausted being in Jin’s head. Every thought was about Kepler or lead to Kepler. He could be grocery shopping and then go on some inner monologue about Kepler. (Not an actual example.) It got tiring. And I didn’t really feel the connection or understand it, despite being told about it.
Now I understand this is a new author. I want to say the writing style was really lovely. I would be willing to try another book by them in the future because authors change and evolve and I’d like to see if another one worked more for me. But this one did not....more
