This trilogy is quickly becoming one of my favorites of all time. It's asking all the questions of humanity that good apocalypse/dystopian books do. I believe that this book and Scythe could be studied for what they make the reader think about. Unlike my first post about this trilogy, this will be more of a … Continue reading The Ask and the Answer: A Discussion
From October to the end of December I work on reading strictly CYBILS books and books for class. So, once the first round of judging ended, I went hard for all the books I'd been putting on my TBR during those months. January was a great month of reading and I enjoyed all the books … Continue reading January Monthly Wrap Up
I think this book is doing really incredible things. We get to read from so many different character perspectives. Yet, there are still secrets and surprises. So I feel like I have a good idea of the cast of characters and the plots map, but I honestly don’t think I know the half of it. … Continue reading Three Dark Crowns Review: deadly sisters and so many POVS
I am a complete sucker for Greek and Roman-inspired books. I also am always looking for pirate books. So the fact that this book brings these two book-passions of mine to life is wonderful! Not only did it have a world I wanted to explore, but the characters were delightfully complex. Teriana is a boss pirate … Continue reading Dark Shores Review: Roman-inspired world and a boss pirate princess
Is monster-hunter a specific genre because if not it should be. I want and need more monster hunting books. Or maybe I just need more Maggie. As I read this book, I realized that Maggie is 100% the kind of character I follow to the end of long series. This book has been on my … Continue reading Trail of Lightning Review: Maggie vs. Monsters
This book was hilarious and I didn’t think it would be nearly as funny as it was. I thought it was going to be all doom and gloom and I was totally prepared and excited for that. It IS doom and gloom but it also has a lot of laughs. El is unlikable to others, … Continue reading Deadly Education Review: I was ready for the death, I just wasn’t ready for the humor
Friends, how am I so often late to the party when it comes to incredible books? What am I reading instead? How have I managed not to read them? How have I missed this book?? I’m reading other incredible books of course. Don't worry I'm not tossing everything else I've ever read out the window. I’ve heard … Continue reading The Knife of Never Letting Go: I’m never letting go of this book
Hey Everyone! I've been super busy reading and helping choose the finalists for the young adult fiction and young adult speculative fiction categories for the CYBILS awards. (Which you can see here and here!). I've also been taking some time to be with family and slowing down my reading since I was sprinting at the … Continue reading December Monthly Wrap Up
I didn't realize how much I needed to read a YA book about two girls who help each other face their fears and their problems. This book soothed my soul in how it faced issues head on that I myself and others I know have dealt with but didn't have a story to find solace … Continue reading Edge of Anything: mental health, grief, and female friendship
If you haven't read my review of Legendborn, I'm not a king Arther legend gall. I am pretty opposed to reading love triangles so I usually try to stay away. So this is a book I would tend to stay away from cause of the original lore, HOWEVER I WOULD HAVE MISSED OUT! This book … Continue reading The Guinevere Deception Review: girls run the world
