I’m so glad I decided to pick this book up! The plot really kept me on my toes, and the characters were such a delight to read about. For me, the characters of a story are what makes or breaks the book, and the ones in this book were just fantabulous. Written in alternating first […]
This is not an easy post to write, but I have not had an easy time. As you may know, I usually tend to keep this blog light and upbeat, but this is important. As some of you guys may know, I’ve had an incredibly hectic year. From flying to Sydney twice this year, to […]
This review does not contain spoilers for Crooked Kingdom (but does for Six of Crows). I’m the worst at writing reviews for books I absolutely LOVED, they just end up being a fangirling mess, so here we go again. Crooked Kingdom is the best book I’ve read this year, if not ever. I delved into […]
We’ve done a series of Chatterbox posts on this blog discussing why we love and read a certain genre and I thought I’d tell you a few reasons why I read historical fiction. I’ll also give a few YA historical fiction recommendations at the end of this post. Check out our other posts in this […]

The biggest blockades to her living the life she wants, are the people who make up the Affinity Project. Being a genetically enhanced weapon, Evie is constantly pulled from pillar to […]
There’s always something inspiring about reading about a character that doesn’t care what anyone thinks of her, or doesn’t let it show. Being about a fat girl and a guy who suffers from face blindness, Holding Up the Universe was a fearless, inspirational hot mess. I don’t know whether I love or hate Libby Strout. She’s incredibly insecure […]
Nothing Tastes As Good was a very confronting but important read about body image and confidence. I was a little bit tentative going into the story but ultimately, it blew me away. However, there were a couple of things that held me back from giving it a higher rating and I’m going to get into […]
I picked this one up mostly because the cover drew my eye like a moth to flame. Plus, fantasy. Anyways, the purple/blue color scheme features my favorite colors of all time, and the mentions of all these different fairy tales lumped together sounded like a fun ride. Although Kingdom of Ash and Briars was extremely […]
