My Thoughts: Back in May I had the privilege of attending a blogger breakfast at Little, Brown during BEA. Little, Brown publishes some of my very favorite authors (Holly Black! A.S. King!) so I was excited to see what they had in store for us. Famous in Love was one of the books that I didn’t know… Read more »
My Thoughts: Where do I even start. As you can tell from my reviews of The Raven Boys and The Dream Thieves I am a huge fan of this series. Maggie Stiefvater’s storytelling is simply incredible. It’s so smart with subtle world-building perfectly woven into the story. And the complexity! God bless an author who doesn’t talk down to her audience!… Read more »
My Thoughts: Okay. So, I listened to the audiobook of book one in the United States of Asgard series and it was instalove…. the story, the narration, all of it! Perfection! (My review) I could not wait for The Strange Maid. Since I loved the narration of book one so much, I decided to do The Strange… Read more »
My Thoughts: Beware the Wild is exactly the kind of book I was looking for. It’s delightfully creepy and incredibly atmospheric. I was absorbed in the story and got spine tingling chills at all the best parts! I don’t like books that are simply scary; I need there to be story built up around it. Beware… Read more »
My Thoughts: A.S. King’s books are consistent. As in, they consistently blow my mind. The writing is always incredible. King addresses topics head on and doesn’t shy away from talking about the things that are important. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve read something in one of her books and thought, “Yes, this!… Read more »
My thoughts: Okay, confession time. I often like the idea of a story collection more than I actually like reading a story collection. Like, I’ll be all excited about one and buy it and then read a few stories and I’m done. Not because the stories aren’t good. I just lose steam. I couldn’t tell… Read more »
My Thoughts: So, I was the worlds worst blogger earlier this year and I’m still playing catch up. Even so, I cannot believe I didn’t review this one. It’s certainly one of my favorites of the year! I loved the book itself and the audiobook narration is spot on. In A Mad Wicked Folly we meet… Read more »
My Thoughts: I absolutely adored Marie Lu’s Legend books but The Young Elites has cemented her as an “auto-buy” author for me. The intensity of The Young Elites sucked me in and didn’t let go. From the first page Lu does an incredible job of building the urgency of the story. No matter which character the story was following,… Read more »
My Thoughts: I’ve been putting off writing this review in hopes that I would eventually figure out a coherent way to express my love. I now concede that it isn’t likely to happen. I’m actually pretty proud that I haven’t used an exclamation mark or caps yet. That ends now. OHMYSTARS I love this book… Read more »
“Recommended by…” is a monthly feature in which an awesome bookish person recommends a book that I just have to read. It’s posted in two parts. Part one is the intro to the recommender and the recommendation. Part two posts later in the month and recaps my thoughts on the book. Check out part one here. Thanks again… Read more »
