A (brokenhearted) physicist.
Now an infamous (who is LITERALLY EVERYWHERE!! UGH!) musician.
The worst has already happened. 

Mona has learned that she has nothing figured out and plans are meaningless. After leaving her in Aspen, Abram is now breaking sales-records, rising to rock star fame almost overnight. Mona can’t seem to escape him. He is literally everywhere, or at least images of him are. 

Just when she thinks things can't get any more confusing, Abram returns... What happens next? Only TIME will tell.


I can't believe it's over! 

This novella is the most painful to wait for compared to the second one, because the cliffhanger in SPACE was a bit brutal. 

"It's living artistry, Mona. Being with you is like living in a song."


My babies Abram and Mona are struggling with long-distance relationship in this one. Mona has her Physics work in Europe while Abram is doing a US tour with his band, there are a lot of frustration of not being able to physical be where each other are, a lot of frustration about having to spend a lot of time apart. Being a sucker for angst, I'm totally for all the yearning (especially Abram's--the boy could yearn) in this book; TIME has it in spades. I love the way Abram's completely gone for Mona. He basically worships the ground she walks on and I love smitten heroes.

Honestly, I think TIME would stand better if it wasn't a novella. The fact that I enjoyed reading it notwithstanding, I do feel like it's the weakest out of all three. The three novellas in this series will be released as one book eventually, so I feel like TIME would work better if we had a seamless flow from SPACE, instead of having to wait a month in between.

Overall, I do love the journey of Abram and Mona learning each other and learning how to be together. We have a KITC gang cameos because Marie from KITC is Abram's sister and we get a Marie x Matt wedding glimpse in this (!!!!). And the sneak peek to Beard with Me killed me off. 

I'm now deceased.

Space, the second book in the all-new Laws of Physics Trilogy from Wall Street Journal and New York Times bestselling author Penny Reid, is available now! 

One week.
Private cabin.
Famous physicist.
Still an unrepentant slacker.
What’s the worst that could happen?

Mona’s meticulously planned allotment of relaxation is thrown into chaos by the unscheduled appearance of her older brother’s band of friends, including the one person she'd hoped to never face again. Abram still makes her feel entirely too much, which is one of the reasons she disappeared after their one week together. But now, trapped on a mountain of snow and things unspoken, Mona will have to find a way to coexist with Abram, chaos and all.

Laws of Physics is the second trilogy in the Hypothesis series; Laws of Physics parts 1 (MOTION) & 2 (SPACE) end with a cliffhanger.




This post was supposed to go live yesterday but there had been so much going on that I forgot, eep. 

But anyhoozle, SPACE! 

Where do I start?

"You want to...listen to my heartbeat? That's what you want?"

I basically dived into the book immediately after the ARC dropped in my Kindle because you guys, the cliffhanger in MOTION was brutal, okay.

SPACE was set 2 years after the events in MOTION. Mona DaVinci was making a name for herself in the Physics field, lots of things to do and places to go, but she never truly forgot the week she had with Abram Harris, or her feelings for him. Mona and Abram reunited when she went to her parents' vacation place in Aspen and got snowed in with her brother's friends.

I can't believe Penny gave us a snowed-in trope. 

While MOTION took me a while to get into, it was a smooth-sailing journey with SPACE. I'm happy that we got Abram's POV in this; while it wasn't really needed in MOTION, it added value to the story here. I quite enjoyed being in Abram's head because he's one moody mofo and I love his angsty butt. He was so angry with Mona for deceiving him (yea, man was smart he figured it out), and there were some tense situations (which I totally lived for) and poetry (Drew Runous would have been proud).

I can't continue anymore without spoiling this story but SPACE totally beats MOTION for me. There were a lot of moments between Mona and Abram that I highlighted and bookmarked. We even had Kaitlyn and Martin cameos in this one! Also, the cliffhanger was a little bit bearable here than the first one too. 

TIME next! Now I'm sad that it's almost over.

Motion, the first in the all-new Laws of Physics Trilogy from Wall Street Journal and New York Times bestselling author Penny Reid, is available now! 

One week. Home alone. Girl genius. Unrepentant slacker. 

What’s the worst that could happen?

Mona is a smart girl and had everything figured out a long time ago. She had to. She didn’t have a choice. When your parents are uber-celebrities and you graduate from high school at thirteen, finish college at seventeen, and start your PhD program at eighteen, you don’t have time for distractions outside of your foci. Even fun is scheduled.

Which is why Abram, her brother’s best friend, is such an irritant.

Abram is a talented guy, a supremely gifted musician, and has absolutely nothing figured out, nor does he seem to care. He does what he feels, when he feels, and—in Mona’s opinion—he makes her feel entirely too much.

Laws of Physics is the second trilogy in the Hypothesis series; Laws of Physics parts 1 (MOTION) & 2 (SPACE) end with a cliffhanger.


Abram's book is here! 

I was intrigued by him when first met him in Elements of Chemistry, especially when he dared go and poke the grumpy Martin Sandeke. Pretty excited when I heard Penny was going to write his book, and when it was revealed that he was Marie's (from Penny's Knitting in the City series) little brother. Talk about a crossover! 

The beginning of the story was a little bit rough for me because I wasn't really sure what to feel about Mona. I was charmed by Kaitlyn (Elements of Chemistry) right away while it took me longer to warm up to Mona. She was a girl genius being roped into impersonating her identical twin sister Lisa for a week, and I didn't know how to feel about this until I got further into the story--when Mona had to pretend to be Lisa while staying with Abram, and found herself catching feelings for him, and him for her. 

"Was he falling for me? Or my sister?"

That just fueled my need for angst. Every time Mona thought about the hopelessness of her situation, my heart broke for her. By the end of MOTION, I could confidently say that I love Mona, her Physics jokes and her quirky sayings. I just want to protect her from all types of heartbreaks. 

I feel like we haven't learned enough about Abram in MOTION, but what we did learn (a little bit of his backstory, his passion for music, how he feels a little too much), I like. Side note: there is a little discussion about romance books in this story because Abram is a romance reader (!!!). He defended the genre to skeptical Mona and even recommended her Lisa Kleypas. His favourite LKs were Devil in Winter and Love in the Afternoon! I love that man. 

The cliffhanger was a brutal one, but Penny did warn us about it multiple times. Luckily we don't have to wait that long for the next book (which will also have a cliffhanger... *dies*)

Happy Tuesday, lovebirds!

I haven't done a romance list post in a while and I really enjoy doing them, so I thought I'd share with you guys some amazing-sounding books that have recently gotten pretty covers. You might end up broke by the end of the post - you have been warned (looking at you especially, Becky!) - but ugh you guys, everything looks AMAZING and I want to read them all right away. Hope you enjoy the post and the pretties! :)
