Lady Thief

Lady Thief

My Thoughts: I need Lion Heart and I need it now!!! That’s basically all I can think when I think about Lady Thief. Not because Lady Thief is forgettable or anything like that. Quite the contrary. I think I loved it even more than Scarlet. This is what makes me so excited for Lion Heart! I can’t wait to see… Read more »

Killer Instinct

Killer Instinct

My Thoughts: DO NOT READ THIS BOOK BEFORE BED! At least, if you’re a baby like me. The serial killer aspect freaked me the heck out and I could not sleep. But it was so, so worth it. Killer Instinct is totally not my “usual” kind of book. I tend to shy away from murder… Read more »

Unmade

Unmade

My Thoughts: Pardon me, I’ll just be over here sobbing uncontrollably after finishing this book. And here’s the thing… Sarah Rees Brennan loves giving spoilers so I knew some of what was coming! When I could tell things were headed in the direction of heartbreak, I put the book down and didn’t pick it up again for a week. I… Read more »

The Walled City

The Walled City

My Thoughts: Wowzers. This book! When I heard about it back in May it sounded super interesting. Before the NOVL blogger breakfast, I hadn’t heard about the Kowloon Walled City. Once they told us about it and how it inspired The Walled City by Ryan Graudin I knew I had to read this book. If I had… Read more »

As You Wish

As You Wish

I typically only review young adult books here. I know As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride was not published as such. However, I would have read the heck outta it as a teen so it totally fits 🙂 My Thoughts: First things first, I am a huge fan of The Princess Bride movie. I vividly remember… Read more »

Waistcoats & Weaponry

Waistcoats & Weaponry

My Thoughts: I never want this series to end!!! Unfortunately, this is the penultimate books so I only get one more. Fortunately, Waistcoats & Weaponry is just as amazing as the previous books! (My review of Etiquette & Espionage, Curtsies & Conspiracies) Where do I even begin with my love? Steampunk! Female Intelligencers! Mechanimals! Sooties!… Read more »

The Map to Everywhere

The Map to Everywhere

My Thoughts: As you may know, I’m a middle school librarian. I must read a ton of middle grade, right? Um, not so much. I do read it and I read a ton of reviews of middle grade books for ordering purposes. However, in my personal reading life? I prefer YA! (I should note that… Read more »

Mortal Heart

Mortal Heart

My Thoughts: Pardon me while I have a fangirl moment: THESE BOOKS!!! AHHHHHHHHH! They are just… I cannot even. I LOVE THEM! Grave Mercy was amazing. But then Dark Triumph came out and was even better. And now! Now, we have Mortal Heart and it may be my favorite of the three. How does Robin LaFevers do it?!?! So…. Read more »

Open Road Summer

Open Road Summer

My Thoughts: I read this book this summer and felt like I was so late to the game! It came out in April and I read it in June but my friends had been raving about it since before it was out. Once I started it, I could totally see why! Open Road Summer by Emery… Read more »

Snow Like Ashes

Snow Like Ashes

My Thoughts: I have to admit, I almost gave up on this book. I started it and just was not feeling it. I’m not really sure what it was, but the world was not clicking for me. Kingdoms based on the four seasons? And then these “Rhythm” Kingdoms… what are they? It was until I… Read more »
