Let’s Talk About Love

This is the third book in the past couple months that I’ve read from Swoon Reads. And as I mentioned in the reviews for my earlier choices (Queens of Geek and Emergency Contact) I have been really impressed with their content! The books are all nice, light stories, with a perfect amount of romantic and…

Emergency Contact

Everyone that I had seen that had read this book gave it good reviews, so it had been on my radar. And I was in the library looking for a “light” end of year read when I spotted this on the shelves and the spine popped out at me (love that blush and rose gold…

Dumplin’

I had seen this one around a little when it came out a couple years ago. And it looked cute, but it just wasn’t one I had at the top of my TBR…or to be honest, on it at all. (I just wasn't all that drawn to the story - beauty pageants are not something…

Queens of Geek

This book was not super high on my TBR (though it was on it – because the cover is incredibly eye-catching and got me to read the synopsis) until I read about how legit Wilde is with writing representative characters. I mean, I am also a giant nerd and I love the focus on how…

Muse of Nightmares

I read Strange the Dreamer when it came out last year because Taylor’s Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy is one of my favorites. And I really enjoyed it – I loved the dream-like quality of the story and the writing, and the world-building and magical system were phenomenal. Lazlo was such a compelling and…

The Poet X

This book is one of the three I let myself buy when I was at Powell’s (vacation means of course I was going to visit famous bookstores) a few months ago. This is one of those books that has the perfect mix of a gorgeous and artistic cover, an important contemporary and diverse premise, and…

I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter

This one has been on my TBR for a few months. When it was almost chosen as by my long-distance book club last month, I took it as a sign that I should move it up to the top of my list. Plus, this is perfect for my goal of reading more diverse authors and…

City of Ghosts

I’ve loved everything I’ve read by Victoria/V.E. Schwab. A Darker Shade of Magic is one of my favorite trilogies (it just gets better as it goes) and Vicious was actually one of the very first reviews I ever posted on my blog. It's an amazing book and one of the best, most original, takes on “mutant”…

Long Way Down

I cannot remember where I first heard about this book, but I do know that I ordered it as soon as I saw it/learned what it was about. On theme with the recent increase of YA literature that tackles important social and equality-based themes, particularly those that are violence and race related (i.e THUG), this…

To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before

I’ve seen this one around, especially on bookstagram, for years, but was never overly interested in it until recently, when I heard about the Netflix movie coming out. Then the hype got out of control…and I totally fell for it. Plus, of course, you all already know that I cannot watch a movie without reading…
