I found this book after I realized that I needed to be looking for more Greek myth retellings and books with the Greek gods in them because I LOVE them. Friends, this is one of the sweetest romance novels I've ever read. Berry does such a magical job of capturing the sweet ache of being … Continue reading Lovely War Review: A Beautiful Story of Love, WWI & Greek Gods
Finally a fantasy book for college students. Bardugo is my favorite author and I am ecstatic that she wrote a dark magical book that takes place at college. I've had a few college friends ask me for a fantasy book that wasn't about young teenagers. They wanted something more mature. I read Ninth House and BOOM … Continue reading Ninth House: Quick Review

https://videopress.com/v/3yvXqSHW?preloadContent=metadata I've mentioned before that I'm not an audiobook gal. I have a hard time listening while doing other things in my life. (I'm not great at multitasking). I really can only listen to an audiobook when I'm alone and traveling whether it be walking or driving. This summer I would often make short drives … Continue reading The Hate U Give
I've heard a lot about this book and it deserves all the acclaim it has and more. It reminds me of how much utopian societal books make you think and feel.

It's been a while since I posted. I've been taking time to learn, reflect, and read books about racism and antiracism. During this time I also wanted to look at the diverse books I'm reading and talking about on this blog. I can be doing more to add diverse books to my reading list, and … Continue reading How To Be An Antiracist: A Discussion
I love Sherlock Holmes stories. I am a HUGE fan of the show and movies. Sherlock stories are just so innately smart and witty that I am not sure many--if any--books have ever been able to replicate at that level. This book nails it for me. Five Stars I adore Holmes and Watson retellings because … Continue reading My Sherlock-loving self is quaking
If you don't already know, I am a HUGE fan of Rumplestiltskin retellings. I gushed over Wish Granter by C.J. Redwine a couple of years ago. I won't say more because I'll go on a rampage of compliments about it, so check out my previous blog post here! Spinning Silver was a phenomenal retelling of a story I … Continue reading Rumpelstiltskin Returns for Another Incredible Retelling
