The Language of Thorns was on my TBR for a long time and I finally decided to read it last month, and it was the perfect book to read before bed. They might not be the fairy tale stories you'd normally read before bed as a child, but I quite enjoyed them as an adult. … Continue reading The Language of Thorns Review: fairy tales with a twist
This quickly became one of my favorite series ever. Todd and Viola are such believable, lovable, and flawed characters to follow. Even as I want to shake the book because they aren't completely communicating with each other, I also understand how difficult the decisions they are having to make are. This post has spoilers in … Continue reading Monsters of Men Review: one of the most memorable series I’ve ever read
When I started this book and anticipated its release, I had no idea that this would be a "so long...for now" book and I am sad. This is probably my favorite fantasy world and I am not ready to say goodbye, especially because I am still holding out for more Kaz Brekker at some point. … Continue reading Rule of Wolves Review: this better not be the end of the Grishaverse
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
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 Review: I’m never letting go of this book
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 Review: mental health, grief, and female friendship
Oof. I knew this book was going to be good, but I couldn't imagine how much it would gut me. ANOTHER book of prose (I'm really really into them. Also I'm reading them for CYBILS so that helps me find out about them). More books about sisterhood and family and they always get me in … Continue reading Clap When You Land Review: family and grief
I've been anticipating this book for a while and have watched as booktubers I love have fangirled about it. I finally got my hands on my library's copy and devoured it. I haven't read a book like Legendborn since Percy Jackson and the Olympians. It also reminded me of Ninth House. It gives me PJ … Continue reading Legendborn Review: knights, college, magic, and a lovely heroine
I have rediscovered books in verse and I am in love. I am a huge fan of poetry and I can't believe I've forgotten how much I appreciate stories told through verse. Each poem of this book stands alone so well and as a whole, it's just plain art. I underlined a lot of this … Continue reading Punching the Air Review
