Book Review

  • The Colonel: A Longbourn’s Songbird Companion Novel

    This isn’t a love story, but the end of one. Thank you to Beau North and Netgalley for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I didn’t know how much I needed this book until I was already into it, and I would easily recommend it to anyone who loves

  • Red, White, and Royal Blue

    What I hope to do, and what I hope I have done with this book by the time you’ve finished, it my dear reader, is to be a spark of joy and hope you needed. My quotes typically come from the pages of the story, but when I came across this in the acknowledgements, I

  • Lock Every Door: Sager Strikes Again

      “What was going on? Were you running away?” “No,” I say. “I escaped.” Riley Sager books officially always go on my TBR list. If his second book The Last Time I Lied didn’t solidify that, then Lock Every Door definitely did. A combination of creepy old buildings, Manhattan, and Gothic feels?! Thank you to Netgalley and Dutton for

  • Dating By the Book: A Therapy Session

    Funny how so many life-altering moments are accompanied by three little words. I love you. Kiss the bride. Hold my beer. I went into June wanting to read fun, sweet, happier books along with my books for Pride month (yes there is overlap there.) This book comes out towards the end of June, so it

  • After the Fire: A Reminder That Cults are Bad

    I am unfortunately incredibly behind on this review, as well as reading this book. Thank you Netgalley and Sourcebook for a copy in exchange for an honest review. I know I am so late on this, so consider this extra chatter in anticipation for the paperback release, on September 3, 2019! After the Fire by

  • Series ended

    I recently finished up three series, two of which I’ve been reading over the years, and one that I read over about two months. Rather than do a post over all three series, which is hard to do without spoilers and honestly sounds a bit exhausted (and I am SUPER BEHIND on my reviews), I

  • Me Before You (Because I hate myself)

    Some mistakes… Just have greater consequences than others. But you don’t have to let the result of one mistake be the thing that defines you. After reading Manic Pixie Dream Boy Improvement Project, I realized I hadn’t read any books with a Manic Pixie Dream Boy. Sure, I had seen them in movies (I realized once I

  • Here There Are Monsters

    Here There Are Monsters

    [M]aybe the Queen of Swords ins’t a monster. Maybe she never was. Maybe she just needed monsters to fight. Thank you Netgalley and Sourcebooks Fire for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! I am just going to take a moment here to talk about this absolutely amazing cover. A

  • On the Come Up

    On the Come Up

    What the hell? I swear, this shit is like quicksand—the harder we try to get out, the harder it is to get out. The Hate U Give is arguably one of the best and most important books of our current times. It also happened to be Angie Thomas’s first published book, leading many readers to
