Book Review: Wanderlost

Rating: Fire  "One day I'll catch up on all my book reviews" *somewhere out there book publishers laugh maniacally*. Not like I read this book in July or anything. Not like it's basically February already. Just a little secret for you all: February is my favorite month because Valentine's Day. So be prepared for a month full …

ARC Review: Select

Rating: Fire  This book was an ARC given to be my NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  Expected Publication: October 3, 2017 After a ton of meh ARC books, I was completely blown away by this book. The whole concept of an advanced species was simple enough to be tackled in one book, yet …

Book Reviews: The Upside of Unrequited

Rating:  You know that wonderful moment where you find a book that you connect to on such a deep level, one you feel like was written just for you? That's how I felt while reading this book. The Upside of Unrequited by Becky Albertalli was just what I needed. It felt like it was telling a story …

Book Review: Everything, Everything

Rating: Fire  "Life is a gift. Don't forget to live it." This is another one of those super hyped books that I decided to read after giving in to much pressure, and maybe being influenced by the movie trailer. And wow am I glad I read it! I know this book is a little contested, and you …

Book Review: The Hate U Give

Rating: Fire  The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas is an amazing, important, and extremely powerful book. It sends a strong message about race and racial biases in the system, and is a fighting book against injustice. I believe it is a must-read book, a book that is immensely relevant to political discussions happening today, but …

Book Review: The Summer I Found You

Rating: Rain  I picked up The Summer I Found You by Jolene Perry at a Used Book Fair, hoping for a light, cheesy, yet enjoyable read. Unfortunately, the book, while cheesy and light, was too much so, with predictable, flat characters and a plot squarely centered on the romance between Kate and Aidan and nothing else. Also, …

Book Review: The Start of Me and You

Rating: Fire  There was so much I loved about this book. It wasn't earth shattering or mind blowing, but it was funny, sad, romantic, and sweet. Emery Lord is a magnificent writer, and it shines through in this story. Paige's voice is fresh, raw, insecure, and vulnerable. Half the things she said could've come out of my own mouth, …

Book Review: The Book Thief

Rating: Fire  Disclaimer: This review will contain spoilers in order to attempt to do justice to this book. Also, the book spoils itself multiple times.  Okay, so let me just get this out there. This book is the best book I've ever read. I'm really going to try to capture what makes it so amazing but I know …
