ARC Review: As You Wish

*I was given a free copy of this book by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. It has in no way affected my opinion.  Rating: Fire  Ugh, I've been doing so well avoiding half stars, but As You Wish by Chelsea Sedoti really got me conflicted! I liked it more than other three …

Mini ARC Reviews// First Came Forever and the Prodigy Prince

Back with another installment of mini ARC reviews! I find this is the best way to get all your ARCish thoughts out there. This one is featuring two books, both of which I was lucky enough to be contacted by the author themselves and asked to review. The first is First Came Forever by Annie Woods, and …

Book Review: Crooked Kingdom

Rating: Fire  Notice how my Six of Crows review was a solid two months before this. And let it be known that I read both books consecutively. Literally, I finished Six of Crows, bought Crooked Kingdom, and continued reading*. So safe to say I'm just a tad behind with this review and I hope I can do the …

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 Review: Heir of Illaria

Rating: Fire  This book was given to me free via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. It has not affected my opinion at all.  Hey everyone! I got this book of NetGalley in one of my requesting binges and was so pleasantly surprised. It only has 90 ratings on Goodreads, so I feel as if …

Book Review: My Lady Jane

Rating: Fire  “Dedication For everyone who knows there was enough room for Leonardo DiCaprio on that door. And for England. We’re really sorry for what we’re about to do to your history.” Okay so I read this book so long ago and I'm just now writing the review! I remember I started (and finished it) on July …

Book Review: Bellamy and the Brute

Rating: Rain  Wow so this was a bit of an oops on my part. I finished this book months ago and totally thought I had a review written up, but when I went to go look for it and transfer it to Goodreads, I discovered I hadn't actually written one yet. Anyway, I originally rated …

Book Review: Blue Lily, Lily Blue

Rating: Fire  Guess who's finally trying to get on top of her book reviews? This girl!! I finished this book months ago but finally here is my review to the third book in the Raven Cycle, Blue Lily, Lily Blue. I think this book might be my favorite out of the series (although I still haven't read the …

Book Reviews: Outcast

Rating: Rain  Outcast by Adrienne Cress was a book that wasn't even on my radar, but when I got an email from BookBub telling me it was only $1 for ebook, I was intrigued by the synopsis (and the cover). However, even though it had a really promising premise, it did not live up to it's …

Discussion: My Favorite YA Tropes

Tropes. That tends to make readers like us sigh when we hear that a book was just chock full of overused cliches. There are only so many books we can read about (insert most hated trope here). Tropes can be born from a particularly popular book (I'm looking at you, Hunger Games.) They can also just be …
