I was so excited when I saw this one on the new books shelf at my local library because I read Thorne’s first book, The Hating Game, last year and loved it so much. It’s definitely one of my favorite contemporary romances. Anyways, I was naturally super excited to stumble across this new release. And… Continue reading 99 Percent Mine
Well, after seeing this book all over bookstagram after its recent publication, and with a title that intriguing, I knew I was going to have to read it. So, I added my name to the “holds” list at the library. Three months later this (adorably tiny) book was ready for me to pick up! My… Continue reading My Sister, the Serial Killer
I’m not sure what drew me to this book. Honestly, maybe it was just the cover (which is stunning). It could have been that it seemed like it might be on par with The Hate U Give, as far as topics and message, which I have loved seeing grow in the YA genre and definitely… Continue reading American Street
I chose this one as my March book for the Just One More Pa(i)ge Reading Challenge 2019, the prompt for which was to read a book by someone differently-abled in honor of Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month. Now, after reading it, I recognize that technically there was no representation for developmental disabilities in this book at… Continue reading Wonder
My recent read of Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating got me in the mood for another little contemporary romance. Plus, I was getting ready to go on vacation and knew I was going to want a lighter read for the plane…and poolside. I hadn’t really heard of this one, but it was on… Continue reading The Matchmaker’s List
I have never liked Valentine’s Day. I am all for sharing feelings of love and celebrating that, but for some reason, the commercialization of the holiday has always sat poorly with me. And as I’ve told my husband a million times, I would rather he give me a surprise chocolate on a random day –… Continue reading Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating
As part of my goal of reading more diversely, I want to focus, this year, on specifically trying to read more Latinx authors. According to my reading stats for last year, only 3% of the books I read were by Latinx authors. I feel like, with the current political focus on immigration in the US,… Continue reading Everyone Knows You Go Home
It’s been awhile since I’ve reviewed an ARC and actually had everything read and written and out in the world before the publication date. Go me! Though to be honest, that has a lot to do with the fact that I was super duper pumped to be approved for an early copy of this through… Continue reading Queenie
This one has been on my TBR since it was published. And even after it was starting to get mixed reviews, I still wanted to read it. Feminist dystopia is one of my favorite sub-genres. And I loved (in a literary-interest way, not in an actual real-life way because OMG NO) that the premise of… Continue reading Red Clocks
This one has been on my TBR for quite some time. I got it in a monthly book subscription box (Muse Monthly, which, sadly, has closed that part of their business), about a year ago. It’s been on my shelf since then. I read Ng’s first book, Everything You Never Told Me, a couple years… Continue reading Little Fires Everywhere
