The Gist: – The romance was not the center – The family dynamics – Getting to know your family – Forgiveness, understanding, growth and maturity – Adventure, in a way – Self-discovery through discovery of origins – Learning when to […]
Heather Demetrios has a way with words that just gets me every time. Her books just really pack a punch and aren’t afraid to tell it like it is. She picks tough topics and really goes all the way with […]
Excuse me while I try to collect my shattered feels and try to put myself back together whilst coming back from the dead because WHAT EVEN. This slayed me, honestly. I had so many feels and while this wasn’t perfect, […]
Here are three short(ish) reviews of three retellings I have read recently. Two are also recent releases and the third was a popular release last year but its sequel just came out so I’m trying to catch up on the series […]
I initially didn’t pick it up on Edelweiss and was going to skip it altogether. But then my amazing friend Cait read it and LOVED it. Which says something to me because she’s totally a Fantasy-girl. And this is not […]
Can you imagine my joy when I got an e-mail telling me I was approved for this book on Netgalley? I’M SURE YOU CAN. The Serpent King was my favorite book of 2016 so I had HIGH expectations for this […]
When people ask me what my favorite genre is, I usually tell them “it’s a toss between contemporary and fantasy”. Because most of the time it feels like that. I love both and often don’t have a clue which one […]
WELL THAT WAS JUST ALL KINDS OF AMAZING. I am a very happy human right now people. Very happy indeed. Because I just read this fabulous book that I loved to bits and honestly that’s just one of the best […]
Have you ever read a book that made you feel like there was magic on the wind? That made you glow with joy? This is how I felt after reading The Sun Is Also a Star. Nicola Yoon has this […]
Today, I get to share two of my newest favourite books! I rarely find books that I can get so buzzed about – yes, I know that it’s largely my fault and I’m the teeniest bit too fussy – but […]
So, when I first saw this book, I brushed past it. I didn’t look at reviews back then and the cover and title just didn’t appeal to me so I just clicked it away. Well, I would like to take […]
So yeah, wow. This I did not expect. I discovered this little book quite a while ago after a blogger friend read it and flailed about it on Goodreads. So I added it, but hey, I’m broke so I didn’t […]
This is Tim Federle’s first YA book and it’s fantastic. Just wanted to mention that right away. I love Tim Federle’s books. I’ve read two so far (still haven’t gotten to Five Six Seven Nate, sorry!) and both I loved. […]
Well now I’m exhausted. I feel like I’ve just finished a dance marathon. My condition is the worst too so that makes me even more exhausted. But in a good way. Do I even make sense now? Probably not. Whatever. […]
So I have to thank my awesome co-blogger Liza first. Because she’s the one that sent me her ARC copy after reading it. If it weren’t for her, I couldn’t have read this awesome book. Yes, it’s awesome. Yes, it […]
Hey everyone! Instead of my usual mini review round-up, today I have three longer reviews for you. All three of these are magical/fantastical 2016 releases, and I enjoyed all of them – to different degrees. But let’s get to the reviews… […]
I know a lot of my bookish friends didn’t enjoy the first book, Ferals, a lot, but I for one loved it SO MUCH. Caw became one of my favorite characters ever and I just fell in love with it. […]
Hidden Stars is a new feature I created to shine a spotlight on the hidden stars of the bookish community. Because some authors are so talented and have published amazing books, but they’re hidden in the shadows of the bigger […]
