Oh lord where do I start. I loved the first half maybe more of this book but the end got weird and just turned into the dumbest thing I ever read. Ok, so you know when you are watching a horror movie and you finally find out what the villain really is and it’s like […]
This feature is for short reviews, reviews of books in a series where it might feel repetitive, or (as Michelle suggested) books I was too lazy to write a “real” review for. Today’s books each surprised me in different ways. For the first half of this book, I was sure it was going to be […]
My top thoughts: I have such mixed feelings about this duology. There’s some aspects that are pretty cool – but it really dragged on SO LONG. I think I would have enjoyed it a bit more from an adult perspective too, maybe. The YA love triangles – yes, there is one for each book – […]

My top thoughts: I thought this was going to be so much more than it was. Another read that had tons of potential but really didn’t deliver for me. What I liked/didn’t like: First, the potential that wasn’t fully realized: The friendships – we have this group of girls who have bonded over their magical […]
My top thoughts: I read this in 2019 and it STILL tops my list of great books – I recommend it frequently. Yet, somehow I’ve never reviewed it on the blog. Time to remedy that! What I liked/didn’t like: As someone raised in a cult, this book seriously resonated with me. In many ways, my […]
I decided to review the #COYER book club reads together in one post. These are our June 2021 picks – Diversity month. Both books actually had a politics element to them, but besides the diversity that’s pretty much all they had in common. I have read so many Pride and Prejudice (P&P) retellings, spin offs, […]
