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: 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: 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
Okay, when I first heard about this book I thought it was trying to be quirky. Like a nerdy person who doesn't trust their heart, which sounds like a book I would read and I am not bashing it at all. However, after reading the actual description and starting the book, it's a super important … Continue reading This is My Brain in Love Review: important conversations about mental health and relationships
Yessssss. What a fabulous girl-friend cast. I am a huge fan of The Bold Type television show, which Sarah Watson is the writer for. So, I was SO excited to read this book. Also, one of my favorite booktubers loved it. So, as the cover reveals, this story follows four different friends as they tie … Continue reading Most Likely Review: friends, senior year, and maybe a little love
The writing of this book is beautiful. That's my biggest take away from reading this book. It's also the perfect modern fairytale book for this fall and winter. I didn't read The Wicked Deep by Shea Ernshaw, but I've heard a lot about it in the booktube and book blog universe. So, I was really … Continue reading Winterwood Review: a dark poetic fairy tale
