You Are Not Alone by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen REVIEW

Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen are fantastic at making me confused. I’ve now read two of their books, and found myself guessing till the end! You Are Not Alone is creepy, twisty, and fun for the reader! Shay lives in New York in an apartment she shares with her friend Sean, who is in a

Ribbons of Scarlet by the #ScarletSisters Review

Ribbons of Scarlet by Stephanie Dray, E Knight, Laura Kaomie, Sophie Perinot, Heather Webb, and Kate Quinn The French Revolution is a major turning point not only in European history, but world history. Most often, men are the figures talked about in association with the revolution: King Louis, Robspiere, Lafayette. What is extraordinary about this

June 2020 Wrap Up

This month I did not read a lot of books, but every book I read was great! I have a bunch lined up for July and August that I cannot wait to get into.  But here is what I did read. Favorite end to a series: Chaos Reigning by Jessie Mihalik: If you have been

Beach Read by Emily Henry REVIEW

I found the title of this book to be a bit misleading. The characters do not read on a beach. The setting is Michigan! However, this book would be perfect to read at the beach. But I was too impatient to wait to go to the beach, so I gobbled this up like pasta salad

Midyear Freakout Book Tag

Can you believe it is already mid 2020? I sometimes think that it is still March! What a time to be alive. Here’s to the rest of the year being better than the first half! How much have you read? Twenty-six books! I am nine ahead of schedule according to Goodreads.  My goal is 38,

The Sin in the Steel by Ryan Van Loan REVIEW

Buc and Eld are too much fun as protagonists.  Buc is an old 17: smart, skilled, and brave.  Eld is an even older 19: polite, strong, and mysterious. Together, they are a dynamic duo of pirate fighting geniuses.  The back of the book describes Buc as a young, female Sherlock, and she certainly has some

Chaos Reigning by Jessie Mihalik REVIEW

Chaos Reigning is the third and final book in the Consortium Rebellion Trilogy, a series of romance books that take place in space. I wish there were more! I love that the characters in each book do more than have a romance plot, but have real stakes and issues that have nothing to do with

May Wrap Up 2020

This month I have had a wide variety of reads! I can’t believe how much my reading has expanded since joining bookstagram 11 months ago! This month I read eight books that were in five different genres! Below are all my May reads! Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister by Gregory McGuire: This book was not

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins SPOILER FREE REVIEW

Suzanne Collins has done it again. She has brought the world of Panem back to the page, and I loved it.  I was concerned about Coriolanus Snow as a main character, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I ended up liking it. Coriolanus is a young man who is grasping at the remains

The Shadows by Alex North REVIEW

For the first time in my life, I got spooked while reading a book.  Like goosebumps, discomfort–the whole bit.  I am going to be honest, I was not excited for another Alex North book after reading The Whisper Man, which didn’t blow me away.  But in The Shadows, the characters were more interesting (except Amanda
