I absolutely loved the concept for this book! It’s intriguing, and certainly brings a dark twist to the tale Peter Pan that we all know and love. (Or do we? I’ve never read it myself.) The story starts with Gwen moving yet again because her mother is afraid of some monster that’s chasing them. Fortunately for […]
I hope everyone had a stupendous holiday season and good luck to you guys heading back to work or school or both! This past break I read a ton of books, and the last book I read for 2015 had me thinking a little bit, which led to this discussion post. The book was the […]
This was hands-down the most adorable book I’ve read this year. Not going to lie, Spencer Hill has some amazing contemporaries out there, and Bookishly Ever After was no exception. What drew me to this book at first was the fact that the main character is a total bookworm and the love interest plays clarinet. […]
So let me just tell you that YOU CAN’T MAKE ME CHOOSE AND LIST BOOKS. YOU JUST CAN’T. *screeches* (This is why I do so bad with Top Ten Tuesdays //sobs.) But, being the end of the year I guess I shall have to make an exception. So this list took me thirty minutes to […]

It’s kind of like the middle genre – not exactly fantasy because these things could happen, but also not realistic fiction because let’s be real, how many of these things do […]
Read about what? Why, only the murder of one of the richest men in New York, Charles Montfort! Or that’s what his daughter, Jo, believes. It was supposed to be an “accident,” but evidence proves otherwise… So what else can an aspiring journalist in the 1890’s do? Investigate it, of course! Jo is such a […]
Set in an alternate history where Hitler has successfully conquered Russia and the majority of the Eastern Hemisphere, Wolf by Wolf follows the story of a Jew girl named Yael whose mission is to kill the heinous dictator. Graudin really immerses us into the world with our narrator Yael sharing her past experiences. Told in […]
This new feature will be spotlighting graphics and designs made from the Happy Indulgence crew because we’re awesome like that. I’m so excited to kickstart Indulgence Designs with phone backgrounds for Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff! If you’ve never heard of it, I will assume you live under a rock. When Jeann was […]
