About Julia


Hi everyone! This is Julia of The Broke and the Bookish, formerly blogging on my own at The Competitive Bibliomaniac.

I read mostly historical romance, but can often be found reviewing paranormal romance, young adult books (mostly distopian/fantasy), fantasy/sci-fi, classics, and the occasional non-fiction book about languages.




Feel free to follow and reblog!

Just Finished Reactions: The Girl in the Steel Coreset

The Girl in the Steel Corset  - Kady Cross

I just could not get into this book. I tried. I got a little ways, but it was so much exposition. Two lines of dialogue and then four pages of backstory. It was rough and I just wasn't interested in the little plot that I was aware of to continue on. Too bad, because I like steampunk. 

Maybe it would be good for you but it just didn't do it for me.
