Valentines Day is here, and while it’s commercially focused on romantic relationships, we wanted to highlight all the YA relationships that we loved! Whether it’s a couple, family or friendship, it’s important to spotlight all the relationships that can form a part of our lives. Aila: I’m putting a small feature of my favorite BroTP’s […]
Hello everyone! Hope you all are having a fine start to the new year. I admit, I haven’t been very caught up with upcoming releases (I blame college!), but thankfully book Twitter is great at promoting awesome-sounding new releases. 😀 I personally cannot wait for the debuts, and all the new voices, stories, perspectives, and […]
With just a few days left of 2017, I wanted to write about an important issue that has occurred in the book blogging community. After immense support from my closest blogging friends and what feels like the entire book blogging community, I’ve gathered the courage to speak out for the safety of our community.

In this post, I’ll be highlighting some of the successful books (trust me, there were some that weren’t as successful) that Jeann and […]
