My Thoughts: I am obsessed with The Witchlands series. I’ve been a fan of Dennard’s books since Something Strange and Deadly but this series is so totally my thing! I mean, I have some very fangirly thoughts about Truthwitch and Windwitch. Sightwitch is such a cool addition to The Witchlands series. I loved the journal format so much! The illustrations and… Read more »

If You Come Softly: 20th Anniversary Edition
My Thoughts: When given the opportunity to review an audiobook of the 20th anniversary edition of If You Come Softly by Jacqueline Woodson, I jumped at the chance.I’ve read Woodson’s picture books and her autobiographical Brown Girl Dreaming, but I had never read her YA fiction. What a mistake! This book is short (the audiobook is just… Read more »
Gone Rogue (Wires and Nerve Vol. 2)
My Thoughts: Yes! So much yes! I am a huge fan of The Lunar Chronicles and absolutely adored Wires and Nerve, Vol. 1. It was so great to get back into the new story and find out more about what happens next. Oh how I love Iko. She is just such a great character. She stole the… Read more »
More Than We Can Tell
My Thoughts: Brigid Kemmerer’s Letters to the Lost was one of my favorite books last year. So I was going to be excited for any book she had coming out this year. But then I found out that More Than We Can Tell is set in the same town as Letters to the lost. Not only that,… Read more »
The Beauty That Remains
My Thoughts: What a gorgeous story. I mean, it will totally break your heart. But in a really beautiful way, so you almost don’t mind. It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of books with multiple narrators. I was so invested in each of the teens telling their stories in this one. Shay, Autumn,… Read more »

White Rabbit
My Thoughts: I absolutely loved Caleb Roehrig’s debut, Last Seen Leaving. I don’t typically gravitate toward thriller/suspense novels but Caleb’s intrigued me and I devoured it. Of course I was so excited for White Rabbit. And of course I absolutely loved it as well! Maybe even more! First of all… Rufus. Oh my stars. What a great character. He… Read more »
I Have Lost My Way
My Thoughts: I have been a huge fan of Gayle Forman ever since I read If I Stay back in 2011. If you read my review you can see that I connected with that one in a really personal way. I went on to read and love Where She Went. And Just One Day, and Just one Year, and I Was… Read more »
Boots on the Ground
My Thoughts: Pretty much everything I know about the history of the Vietnam War came from reading Most Dangerous: Daniel Ellsberg and the Secret History of the Vietnam War. That book was totally fascinating and gave me a lot of background knowledge I was lacking. But I knew there was still so much to learn. So,… Read more »
Royals
My Thoughts: I have long been a fan of Rachel Hawkins books. I read Hex Hall back before I started blogging and have eagerly anticipated (and loved!) every book of her’s since then! (Check out my love for Rebel Belle and Journey’s End.) But this book. Oh, this book. I have been anticipating it ever… Read more »
