Welcome to Really Really Short Reviews were the name is long and the reviews are short! Because sometimes short is that much sweeter. (Also, because I’m really lazy!) And there might be quotes too (lots and lots)! (Because everyone loves quotes, right?) Review: Super cute and geeky with a few things that drove me bonkers. […]

Review: The Rose and the Dagger by Renee Ahdieh
Review: So I think I’m a bit of the odd one out regarding The Rose and the Dagger. I mean I did enjoy it, but it just didn’t sweep me away like I had hoped. Don’t get me wrong, the writing in this is still lovely and the story still grand, but it took me […]
Review: Geekerella by Ashley Poston
Review: From the moment I read the summary of Geekerella I just knew I had to read it. I devoured it in a couple of days and by the end of it I wanted more. Geekerella is a retelling on the Cinderella tale. It stays pretty faithful to the original story so you’ll know how […]
Review: Hunted by Meagan Spooner
Review: I’m such a sucker for fairy tale retelling and especially for Beauty and the Beast so I knew I couldn’t pass up on reading this one! (Also, because I love an excuse to use this gif!:) In every fairy tale there were rules. Even the monsters could not break them. And where, except in […]
Review: The Forbidden Wish by Jessica Khoury
Review: I’ve been burned before by Aladdin/1001 Nights retellings, so I went into this with a bit of trepidation. I’m happy to say that The Forbidden Wish worked out pretty well for me. I ended up reading in one sitting! The writing, the magic, the adorable Aladdin just swept me away. First of all, our […]
Review: Heartless by Marissa Meyer
Review: Gah, this book, it really knew how to pull the heartstrings. Any dislike of this book is probably more of a “It’s me, not you, book” kind of issue. The thing is you know that this is a story of how the Queen of Hearts becomes the way she is, there’s not really a […]

Review: Bright Smoke Cold Fire by Rosamund Hodge
Review: So I actually went into this book not knowing (forgetting?) that this was a Romeo and Juliet retelling. It was pretty fun suddenly realizing “Oh hey! This guy doesn’t just have the name Romeo…he actually is!”. This Romeo and Juliet story definitely got an interesting twist. And while I liked the necromancy (zombiiieees!) incorporation, […]
Review: Stars Above by Marissa Meyer
Review: The greatest downfall of this book is that the ‘Winter Epilogue’ isn’t long enough. I need more adorable happiness! This is a nice collection of novellas for the Lunar Chronicles fan. There’s a few stories we’ve already seen before (Glitches, The Little Android, The Queen’s Army, & Carswell’s Guide to Being Lucky) but also five new […]
Review: The Untamed Earl by Valerie Bowman
Review: I’m always happy when there’s more stories from the Playful Bride collection. This one features a hero we’ve seen before, Lord Owen Monroe (brother of Cass – The Accidental Countess) and it’s his turn to get whacked on the head by love. Like the rest of the series, this is a re-imagination of a classic, […]
