Once upon a time I was an avid reader of Sarah Dessen. My favorites are The Truth About Forever, Just Listen, and Along for the Ride. Unfortunately, I haven’t read her previous three books. When I was offered the opportunity […]
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 […]
Okay so I don’t really know WHAT I expected when I picked this book up on Edelweiss on a whim, but it certainly wasn’t this. I did not expect to fall in love with a YA Historical Fiction book. Because […]
I’ve seen a lot of mixed reviews for The Traitor’s Kiss, but since I’m a lover of fantasy, I wanted to read it for myself. I’m glad I did. I didn’t read the Goodreads reviews until after I finish the […]
When Dimple Met Rishi is one of those books that has been all over social media in a very positive way. I’ve heard nothing but love of this book right from the start. So naturally I wanted to see what […]
Waiting on Wednesday is a meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine in which we have the opportunity to let others know about books that we are eagerly waiting for. Bee Why I’m waiting: I haven’t gotten to First […]
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 […]
Things I Liked: ♦ Aki is bi & POC. This is awesome! We need more of this kind of diversity in YA so I applaud it lots. Though it’s not own voices and as a someone that’s not POC, I […]
Last year, I made a vow to read more of the books I’ve purchased over the years. Unfortunately, new books keep coming out and distracting me from my goal, but fortunately, Emma Mills’ novel, First & Then, can now boast that […]
Strange the Dreamer is one of my most anticipated reads of 2017. Not surprising given that I adore Taylor’s Daughter of Smoke & Bone series. I read everything she writes since she writes pure magic. Now, let’s get on with […]
I’ve been wrestling with how to rate Our Chemical Hearts, because at one point, I understood what author Krystal Sutherland was trying to convey, but there were times when I wanted to throw the book at the wall. It is […]
Guys. GUYS. THIS BOOK. Ohmygod. Read it. Don’t even read this review. Just go read this book. Please. Shoo. Go. You’ll thank me later. NO NO NO WAIT, just kidding. Please read this review? You’ll hurt my feelings if you […]
I feel like I should start this review by saying that this might be one of those “It’s not you, it’s me” cases where I personally didn’t like the book but that could be just me?? But at the same […]
Wow! What an amazing story. The Forgetting is such an unexpected story, it reminded me of the movie The Village that way. I’ts one of those stories that stays with you for along time. It is my first read from […]
Well then. This book is just a precious bundle of sweetness with some explosions and clocks thrown in. WHY did I not read this sooner? I don’t even know. I don’t understand myself sometimes. Because I’m all for adorable LGBT […]
Let’s get one thing out of the way from the beginning. I love Jane Austen’s books (and the movies based on said books.) Two of my all-time-favorites are Pride & Prejudice and Persuasion. A P&P retelling with dragons? What is […]
I’m not really sure how to feel about this book to be honest. HOW TO TAME A BEAST IN SEVEN DAYS wasn’t exactly like I expected it to be. It was okay for a Beauty & the Beast re-telling and at the same […]
REJOICE! I found a Beauty and the Beast retelling that I loved! Cake for everyone and happy dancing all day long! No but seriously, I’ve read a few Beauty and the Beast books before. Or tried to. But none that […]
