If you’ve followed this blog or any of my socials, you probably know that I am a HUGE fan of Leigh Bardugo and her books. (My reviews: Shadow and Bone, Siege and Storm, Ruin and Rising, Six of Crows, Crooked Kingdom, The Language of Thorns, Wonder Woman: Warbringer) I thought Valentine’s Day would be the… Read more »
Would you dare to defy destiny? Are our destinies written in stone? Do we become nothing more than the self-fulfilling prophesies of other people’s opinions? Or can we dare to become who we believe we were born to be? “A gorgeous, heartfelt journey of redemption and love” (Wendy Higgins), ONLY A BREATH APART is a… Read more »
My Thoughts: I adored Nielsen’s Ascendance Trilogy (The False Prince, The Runaway King, The Shadow Throne) so, so, so much! However, I had yet to try her historical fiction. I kept meaning to but things get lost in the TBR pile shuffle! This year I started a system at the intermediate school I’m at where students… Read more »
My Thoughts: This is a reissue of Renee Watson’s debut middle grade novel. (The new packaging definitely has more YA appeal! The story will, too.) Her novel Piecing Me Together was my favorite book of 2017 (and one of my all time favorites!) so you know I was excited to go back and check this one… Read more »

My Thoughts: First things first, I read this book when it first came out and I loved it. But it’s taken me forever to get around to reviewing it for two main reasons: John Green’s books and videos and Nerdfighteria mean a lot to me. Like, they had a huge impact on my life. His… Read more »
My Thoughts: Okay. I know I am late to the game on this one. People I trust have been telling me how great it is for months. It wasn’t until We Are Okay won the Printz award that I finally picked it up. Of course, my friends were right. There’s just something about this book. The summary… Read more »
My Thoughts: So, this book isn’t YA. It’s geared more towards intermediate readers (about 4th – 6th grade.) I don’t normally cover books that young. However, Mitali Perkins mentioned it when she was on tour for her newest YA, You Bring the Distant Near, and I knew I had to read it. When it was on… Read more »
