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 »
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. I mean, I adored The Map to Everywhere (middle grade written with her husband!) but I couldn’t wait to get my hands on something a little “older.” And my, oh, my! Did Carrie… Read more »
So, Penguin Teen is doing this super awesome summer of Sarah Dessen! I re-read all her books prior to reading Saint Anything (and then I re-read that one within a month of reading it for the first time!) I won’t be reading along this summer but I think it’s an excellent idea! I’ll be… Read more »
My Thoughts: Rick Atkinson’s other YA nonfiction – D-Day: The Invasion of Normandy, 1944 is really popular in my middle school library. When I saw this one offered for review I knew I wanted to give it a try. It fits my “read one nonfiction book a month” goal and now I can talk about it with… Read more »

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 »
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 »
My Thoughts: Katie McGarry writes some excellent romance. I love the characters. I love the misunderstandings/misconceptions. And I seriously love that we get both perspectives! I could just read her books over and over and over. After binge reading her previous four novels I was so excited for Nowhere But Here. My excitement was totally justified. I… Read more »
Today I have my thoughts on The Girl at Midnight PLUS a giveaway for the blog tour 🙂 About the Book: Beneath the streets of New York City live the Avicen, an ancient race of people with feathers for hair and magic running through their veins. Age-old enchantments keep them hidden from humans. All but one…. Read more »
My Thoughts: There is just something about a great Southern gothic novel that gets to me. Think Beautiful Creatures. Think The Splendor Falls. Think gorgeous, haunting, lush, atmospheric. Compulsion by Martina Boone fits perfectly into these categories. Liza kept telling me that I needed to read it so I knew it’d be good. Still, I was blown away with just how… Read more »
