My Thoughts: A modern day retelling of Tam Lin? Fierce faeries? Mortals who won’t give up? Yes, yes, and, yes! I would take any one of those things on its own. Added all together they create a story that shot to the top of my TBR pile. I enjoyed how atmospheric Thorn Jack was. The descriptions and the… Read more »

What I Thought Was True
My Thoughts: I adored My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick and so I was super excited for this one. I heard mixed things about it and let it slip through the TBR cracks. That was really unfortunate because I loved it! What I Thought Was True captivated my attention so much that I simply couldn’t imagine putting… Read more »
The Boys Who Challenged Hitler
My Thoughts: Immediately upon finishing this book I ordered a copy for my school library and recommended it to the teachers I work with. It was so interesting! I can see so many of my students really enjoying The Boys Who Challenged Hitler: Knud Pedersen and the Churchill Club. I was so amazed by the young… Read more »
Onyx
My Thoughts: It took me forever to read Obsidian, the first book in the Lux series. The whole alien aspect really threw me off. But once I started it, I was hooked. I’ve been taking my time to read the rest of the series. Jennifer Armentrout’s books are so addictive I just fly through them. I’m trying to… Read more »

That was certainly the case with Resonance. The end of Dissonance was full of revelations. Some questions were answered but many more… Read more »
Lock and Key

I remember reading it and thinking, “Her books just get better and better!” Ruby’s story just pulled at my heartstrings. She doesn’t have an adult she can rely on at home and she felt abandon by… Read more »
Keeping the Castle & A School for Brides
I’m liking doing joint mini-reviews when I read two related books close together. It may become a thing I do more often. Time will tell! I recently read two delightful connected books! I’m not sure how I missed Keeping the Castle when it came out. It’s exactly my kind of story. I’m so glad I was reminded… Read more »
Rebel Mechanics
My Thoughts: Oh yes. That summary caught my attention for sure! Alternate U.S. History? Magic? Governess? Espionage? Stempunk aspects? I am in, 100%! Once I started reading, I didn’t stop until it was done. I was having far too much fun. Verity is the kind of girl I like to imagine I would have been… Read more »
