Book Review: Firsts (ARC)
I’m still going backwards in my reviews. This is the second book I read on my way up the East Coast, and to be honest, I’m still not certain how I feel about it. But then again, there are books from years ago that I still don’t know how I feel about them, and if…

Book Review: Chained
With my journey to New York City mostly complete, I had plenty of time to read books while I was on my way up. The first day was a wonderful (ha!) 12 hours drive, and the second day consisted of a much shorter 3 hours drive. I was able to catch up on most of…

Book Review: Furiously Happy
Furiously Happy (A Funny Book About Horrible Things) by Jenny Lawson Published September 2015 Rated: out of 5 Moose My blog I’ve missed you I love you! Preparing to move to NYC has had me in such a whirlwind. I haven’t read in weeks; all my free time has been used for apartment hunting. I’m actually…

Top Ten Tuesday: If You Liked These Mysterious Books…
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and Bookish. This week’s theme is incredibly hard, and I’m not 100% I’m doing it right. BUT OH WELL. The theme is essentially recommendations, whether it be a book or an author. My original idea was to take classics and providing a modern book, whether it…

Schwab Published by Tor Books, February 2015 Rated: 5/5 Moose Okay. Let me start off by saying that it takes a lot for me…

Book Review: Why Not Me?
This is a quick update slash book review, and if you follow me on Goodreads, then you’ll know I’m reviewing this one before A Darker Shade of Magic. I still am digesting my love for that book! In the mean time, I just finished Mindy Kaling’s Why Not Me? Why Not Me? by Mindy Kaling Published by:…

Book Review – The Shadow Cabinet
I’ve officially finished all the books that Maureen Johnson has published in this series. Thankfully a fourth one is planned, because the end of the third is so unsatisfying! I’ll try hard not to spoil too much….but this book takes place immediately after the second book, with the Shades team reeling from the cliffhanger. The…

Book Review: Everything I Never Told You
This week I finished an audiobook I started back in June. I go back and forth on them, going through phases where I listen to chunks for weeks (this usually lines up with my podcast binge listening.) I also really wanted to finish this book so that I could get started on A Darker Shade of…

Review: Madness Underneath (Shades of London #2)
Part of me almost pushed off this review to read Book 3 tonight. But, after finishing Book 2 before formally reviewing Book 1, I set aside Book 3. Mostly because the end of Book 2 made me want to do this: and I didn’t want it to color my review of Book 1. I think…

Book Review: The Name of the Star (Shades of London #1)
This book was recommended to me by Mari over at Story and Somnomancy. She’s been responsible for many recommendations that I have loved over the years, and this one did not disappoint. This is the first series I’m reviewing where I’ll do each book rather than the entire series…which is a smart idea, given how different…
