What? I’m reviewing a contemporary novel? This is craziness right here. But I have to say that while this genre isn’t my usual cup of tea, I found Somebody Like You to be quite an enjoyable read. This book spoke to my own small-town background and some of the moments I imagined happening where I live in all too vivid detail. This is my first read of […]
Today we’re wishing a happy book birthday to The Odds of You and Me by Cecilia Galante! To celebrate I’m excited to share with you a short Q & A with the author! Q & A Did you learn anything new or surprising while writing your latest book? I did, actually. The most obvious were all the strange facts I researched for James’ Curious Facts and […]
I honestly love the UK versions of Three Dark Crowns! There are so many people who like the US versions for different books, but this time the UK definitely got it right! My favorite is the Naturalist cover. I love the red undertone in the background and the crown is just so elegant. Plus I feel like if I were to be in this world, […]
Rumor Mora fears two things: hellhounds too strong for him to kill, and failure. Jude Welton has two dreams: for humans to stop killing monsters, and for his strange abilities to vanish. But in no reality should a boy raised to love monsters fall for a boy raised to kill them. Nyx Llorca keeps two secrets: the moon speaks to her, and she’s in love with Dahlia, her best friend. Braeden Tennant wants two things: to get out from his mother’s shadow, and to unlearn Epsilon’s darkest secret.
I went into this book not expecting much. I didn’t really like Oliver’s Before I Fall book so I wasn’t sure how I was going to like Rooms. I only picked it up because it was a signed first edition in the bargain section at my work and I thought for $4 that was a pretty great deal. But to my surprise, I really loved […]
It’s hard writing about the end of a series. There is so much that went into these books that it’s hard to talk about in a review, especially with avoiding as many spoilers as possible. I also had a lot of built-up expectations going into this final chapter in the story of Vhalla, especially after the events of Water’s Wrath. So as a conclusion to this […]
A debut historical romance, Wait for Me tells the story of a young woman in Scotland who is introduced to a German soldier meant to work on her farm. This is during World War II, mind you. While an enjoyable read for what it was, I’m not an avid reader of the genre and took a chance on this one but it wasn’t quite a good […]
I wrote my first short story in fourth grade with the sort of passion that I didn’t understand at that age. The words had come so easily to me that it could’ve been interpreted as a sign—not that I paid it any heed. (Hindsight!) Unlike most kids with big dreams of pursuing a career in something they love, I floated along rather randomly until high […]

I struggled to rate this book, to come up with a coherent enough review that captured my thoughts. The Edge of Everything had moments where I couldn’t stop reading, where I was sucked right into the world alongside the characters. But just as frequently I put it down, whether out of boredom or simply a lack of interest in the story. So by the end of […]
