The Apple Throne

The Apple Throne

My Thoughts: Oh man. I have so much love for this series. The Lost Sun just blew me away! I fell and fell hard for the story (and the audiobook version!) The Strange Maid deepened my love for the series. Reading The Apple Throne was so bittersweet. I absolutely loved it. However, I am not ready to leave the United… Read more »

My Thoughts: If you follow me on twitter or have been reading this blog for some time you probably know I’m a Sarah Dessen fangirl. I just adore her novels. Back in 2011 I co-hosted a Sarah Dessen week (which was so much fun!) At that time I did a post about the connections in… Read more »

Between the Lines

My Thoughts: This book has been popular with my students since it came out but I never got around to reading it. Now that a companion book is on it’s way I figured I should check it out. What a quick and fun read! I just flew through the story. When I think of all the… Read more »

The Wrong Side of Right

The Wrong Side of Right

My Thoughts: This book came out of nowhere for me. I hadn’t heard anything about it before getting an email about being on the blog tour. It sounded interesting so I decided to give it a chance. I am so glad I did! I have to admit, I almost didn’t read this one. I really wasn’t… Read more »

My Thoughts: I first learned about this book at a Fierce Reads tour event back in September. When I heard Ann talk about it I knew I needed it in my life. I was so right! The Queen of Bright and Shiny Things is a new favorite! I can’t get over how absorbed I was in this story…. Read more »

Miss Mayhem

Miss Mayhem

My Thoughts: Rachel Hawkins writes fun books. Like, “my face hurts from smirking the whole time I was reading” fun! As I mentioned in my review of Rebel Belle, Harper is pretty fabulous. I love her as a character. Her life has basically been turned upside-down and she handles it with such aplomb! I loved reading her take… Read more »

Since You’ve Been Gone

Since You’ve Been Gone

My Thoughts: Why did I wait so long to read a Morgan Matson book?!?!? I am so in love! I guess it’s kind of a good thing since I now have two more already on deck 🙂 Where do I even start? There were so many things I enjoyed! First, there is the best friend… Read more »

In the Time of Dragon Moon

In the Time of Dragon Moon

My Thoughts: The Wilde Island books by Janet Lee Carey are books I wish more people were reading! They are really interesting fantasy novels with dragons and fae and all kinds of good things! Dragon’s Keep came out in 2007, Dragonswood in 2012, and now we have In the Time of Dragon Moon. I love that you can read… Read more »

Flesh and Blood So Cheap

Flesh and Blood So Cheap

My Thoughts: After reading Kids on Strike! I decided to finally pick up a book I’ve been meaning to read since I first head about it: Flesh and Blood So Cheap: The Triangle Fire and Its Legacy. I remember hearing about the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in high school and being horrified. For some reason it just stuck… Read more »
