I listened to the Barnes and Noble podcast where Neal and Jarrod Shusterman discussed this book, and I was immediately hooked. Shusterman does an amazing job with dystopia, and so I just knew he'd do an amazing job with the drought apocalypse. And they did an amazing job. https://videopress.com/v/bx3TAizu?preloadContent=metadata Four Stars I can't decide if … Continue reading Dry: Because I needed another end of the world book
I've been on my library's waitlist for this book for months. I got on the list when I realized I wouldn't be returning to college for the rest of the semester and I'd actually have time to read this book. Well, I didn't get to read it until recently, BUT it was worth the wait. … Continue reading House of Earth and Blood Review
Welcome friends to the second to last post of my TOG Marathon! We're almost there! It's been a long time coming, but are there really any rules about a blog post marathon? Maybe there are and I'm just a rule breaker. But we're BACK! https://videopress.com/v/nqLexUwD?preloadContent=metadata Four Stars Going into this book, I wasn't sure about … Continue reading TOG Marathon Day 6: Tower of Dawn
It's hard to put into words how good this series continues to be. The plot keeps expanding as Shusterman adds new perspectives. https://videopress.com/v/1dKjfT3Z?preloadContent=metadata Four Stars I also really enjoyed getting to see the Thunderhead's perspective on not only what's happening currently, but it's perspective on EVERYTHING. I love that the Thunderhead is completely good. I'm … Continue reading Thunderhead: the perfect follow up to Scythe
The game continues in the second book of the Charlotte Holmes series. Catch up on my review of the first book, A Study in Charlotte, here! The plot thickens in this book as it creates a platform for the rest of the series. It raises the stakes of danger and the stakes between Holmes and Watson's relationship. https://videopress.com/v/PUq9RbGu?controls=false&preloadContent=metadata Four … Continue reading Last of August Review
I read this book for a college class this semester which was exciting because YA books rarely are used in college classes since they're so often not considered "literature." BOO. So, I was SUPER excited to have a reason to read this book since I'd seen it mentioned the book world a few times. Four … Continue reading I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter
We're back, friends! I think what makes this book so enticing is the cast of characters we get to see. Of course, the plot is phenomenal, and the ending wrecked me really really bad, and I don't care to dwell on it much. Four Stars Since I loved getting to know the characters better, I … Continue reading TOG Marathon Day 5: Empire of Storms
Check out my reviews of the other books I've read by Levenseller: Daughter of the Pirate King Daughter of the Siren Queen This book was marketed as a Slytherin romance, and I don't think it could have been described any better. This book allows us to see the other side of classic stories. Usually, we'd … Continue reading It was a true Slytherin romance
WELCOME TO THE THRONE OF GLASS MARATHON! I finished this series while we've been social distancing, so I thought I would post my reviews of the series consecutively. So if you haven't read this series, buckle in! If you have, I want to hear your thoughts. But without further ado, let us begin the Throne of … Continue reading Throne of Glass Marathon Day 1: Finishing what I started 6 years ago
As the title so clearly declares, I'm a HUGE fan of Greek mythology. I've been especially interested in the women in Greek myths. They're not as explored as the male characters in the myths and often the mortal women don't have a voice in the stories. This is the second book I've read by Nikita … Continue reading Great Goddesses: I love my Greek Girls
