Book Review: Cress (AKA How I Became a Lunartic Pt. 3)

Fire  Next up in my "I have to catch up on all my book reviews" is none other than the amazing, stellar Cress. Which was the book from TLC I was waiting for since I started the series. Again, read this one a couple months ago, and decided I just needed to write the review now …

Book Review: Scarlet (AKA How I Became a Lunatic Pt. 2)

Fire:  It has come to my attention that even though I read Scarlet AGES ago, and have already read Cress, and am gearing up to read Winter, I still haven't written a review for Scarlet. Which is a shame, since this book deserves a book review. So here it is, months late but better late …

Book Review: Gemina

Fire:  Slight spoilers for Illuminae below. You have been warned. AMIE KAUFMAN AND JAY KRISTOF WHY DON'T YOU JUST STAB ME IN THE HEART????

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: Illuminae

Rating: Fire  After hardcore fangirling over the Starbound trilogy for all of my days, I finally read Illuminae (I'm still waiting to read Hunted). And let me tell you, THIS WAS JUST AS GOOD. It had all the plot twists and tense moments I love in the Starbound trilogy as well as the multi-dimensional characters …

Book Review: Cinder (AKA How I Became a Lunartic Pt. 1)

Rating: Fire  “Even in the Future the Story Begins with Once Upon a Time.” Ahhh! I'm only 105832 years too late, but I finally jumped on TLC train!! And wow, what a ride this series is. Fairy tales, science fiction, action, and romance. What more could a girl want in a series?? Sadly, I've only …

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 …

Book Reviews: A Thousand Pieces of You

Rating: Fire  This is an interesting case. Originally, I had this rated a solid four stars. But as I began writing my review and reading other reviews, mine has dropped to three stars. I admit it, I admit it, this book was purely a cover buy. But I mean, look at this cover! The colors …
