Gods of Jade and Shadow

I requested this one from NetGalley and was so excited when I was granted access. I love mythology, basically of any origin, but I have rarely (ever? …because after finishing I realized that the only parts of this book that were even remotely familiar were things I remembered from The Road to El Dorado, which,…

Intercepted

It’s the summer, so romance rules, as you know. Haha. Anyways, I have known about this series for awhile but hadn’t been totally sold on trying it. Mainly it’s because sports romances are just not my preferred sub-genre. I cannot give you a reason for that, as I do love sports in a general sense.…

The Radium Girls

This was the July book chosen for my long-distance book club. Basically, one of our members just really wanted to read it and we all voted to go along with that. Haha. But honestly, I’m super happy that’s how it happened. I had heard of this one, but I know for sure that I would…

With the Fire on High

I read Acevedo’s debut (and multiple award winning) novel The Poet X last year and LOVED it. So you know I was all about reading this, her second novel, as soon as I could. That’s about all the intro I have for this one, but just to make this a little longer, can we also…

You Can’t Touch My Hair

I picked up this memoir/essay/commentary collection at one of my library’s used book sales at least a year ago. But I’ve been trying to focus hard on balancing library/new release reads with catching up on some of my backlist book titles, so it made it off the TBR and onto the “currently reading” list as…

The Illuminae Files Trilogy

This series has been on my radar and TBR for years now and I finally decided it was time. I originally planned to post each of the reviews separately, but then it turned out I couldn't put this series down, I binged the crap out of it, so you're getting it all at the same…

Eloquent Rage

This book has been on my shelf for over a year. I’ve heard so many amazing things about this piece of nonfiction, and it’s impossible to deny the way that simple cover just catches the eye. Perfect design for the title. Anyways, the Just One More Pa(i)ge Reading Challenge prompt for July was “a book…

Miracle Creek

This is the most recent book to take over the #bookstagram. All the hype. It’s not my typical genre/read…courtroom thrillers. But everyone is hype-ing it up and I’m a sucker for “seeing what everyone is talking about.” And it seemed like a good page turner for the summer, so I added myself to the library…

Red, White & Royal Blue

Well this book has literally taken over everything in book related social media. And we all know I get in the mood for romance over the summer. So, basically, we should all not be surprised that I added myself to the library waitlist for this one ASAP (as in, even prior to its actual publication…

Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine

I grabbed this one at a used book sale a few months ago, after seeing tons of positive reviews for it. It’s been sitting on my shelf since then. Last week, I went ahead and posted on #bookstagram a stack of books that I am hoping to get to this summer, with a call for…
