Tonight the Streets are Ours
My Thoughts: I’ve heard so many great things about Leila Sales’ books so I figured it was time I finally read one! I decided to start with this one for a few reasons. There’s a road trip, a night in NYC, and one of the characters keeps a blog… these are all things that peaked my interest! Overall,… Read more »
Ten Thousand Skies Above You
My Thoughts: I adored the first book in this series, A Thousand Pieces of You. It was such a great introduction to the characters and the world they live in.

The Rest of Us Just Live Here
My Thoughts: It’s no secret that Patrick Ness is one of my all time favorite authors. His Chaos Walking trilogy (which starts with The Knife of Never Letting Go) is simply amazing. I just love the way he tells a story. I’ve been lucky enough to hear him speak at a couple different events and I’ve… Read more »

First & Then
My Thoughts: As I said in my post for the First & Then blog tour, I was really excited for this book. I’d watched Emma’s youtube videos throughout the years and loved how funny and smart they are.

All American Boys
My Thoughts: The summary provided by the publisher is very complete so I won’t recap what All American Boys is about. What I do want to talk about is my reading experience. First of all, the dual perspectives are so crucial to this story. Even though they’re close in age, go to the same school, and… Read more »
