I read the first book of the Lyburn Legacy.. but I didn’t enjoy it that much. To be honest, I didn’t feel like “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” was all that great either..But both books were interesting. 🙂
Really? I loved the first book in the Lynburn Legacy! I loved how witty Kami is. But if you didn’t like the first book, you probably wouldn’t like the rest of the series because I didn’t think they were as good as the first book. I wasn’t as impressed with To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before as other people were, but I still thought it was cute.
I guess that makes sense. I mean it was a good book but not a book that I’d look back and cherish memories of.. But I expected more from To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before. 🙂
I ordered Jackaby for my library but as soon as it came in, it had a hold on it for one of our patrons. I can’t wait to read it!
My TTT!
I hope you like it! I really enjoyed it! However, if you are a big Dr Who or Sherlock (the Cumberbatch version) fan, I’ll warn you to lower your expectations. I’ve only seen sporadic episodes of Dr Who and have never watched Sherlock, so I was fine with the comparisons, but every other review I’ve read by avid fans were unfavorable.
But I still liked it!
Haha. I figured I’d have to do that. Anytime a book is compared to something else (be it another book, a movie, a TV show, etc), it never quite lives up to that recommendation.
I haven’t read any of these! Unspoken and Jackaby look good though. I only came up with eight today too. My problem was I read way too many new authors this year and couldn’t narrow it down.
They are both good! I had the opposite problem. Most of the books I read and enjoyed this year were repeat authors!
So happy to see Jojo Moyes on your list! ❤
She’s definitely become one of my new favorite authors!
