TBR Pile: June

TBR Pile: June

June TBR School is out soon! You would think I’d get better at blogging in summer (since I have more time off.) However, typically I am terrible at blogging over the summer! I really hope to do better this year. Maybe my monthly TBR pile will help. I’ve been pretty good about getting to most of the… Read more »

A Darkness Strange and Lovely

My Thoughts: Why, oh why do I wait to read the rest of the books in a series I like?!?! It’s like a sickness! The whole time I was reading A Darkness Strange and Lovely I was thinking about how I could have known this story far earlier! Ah well, at least it meant I had Strange and… Read more »

Daughter of Deep Silence

Daughter of Deep Silence

My Thoughts: I have been eagerly anticipating another YA novel from Carrie Ryan since she wrapped up the The Forest of Hands and Teeth trilogy.

Battle of the Bulge

Battle of the Bulge

Two Boys Kissing

Two Boys Kissing

My Thoughts: David Levithan is a genius. I feel like I could end my review there. What else is there to say? I love the way that he conveys important truths with everyday situations. There are always multiple moments when reading his books where I think, “Yes! This. This exactly.” Two Boys Kissing is representative of this… Read more »

The Fill-In Boyfriend

The Fill-In Boyfriend

My Thoughts: Fun, fun, fun, fun! That’s what I’m learning I love about Kasie West’s contemporary romance books. I read this one on the plane from Chicago to Dallas. It was the perfect read while traveling. Before I knew it, I was finishing the book and the plane was landing! This book has some elements… Read more »
