America Is Not the Heart

I have had this one on my TBR, and on my shelves, for months now. One of my favorite bookstagrammers, Christine (@readingismagical), has recommended this one over and over as a favorite of hers, so I knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that this was going to be my pick for the May prompt…

If They Come For Us

April is National Poetry Month, so, naturally I chose reading a book of poetry as this month’s prompt for the Just One More Pa(i)ge Reading Challenge. And, as it's my last review post for the month, it's time to share my thoughts on it with you! I don’t normally read poetry and I love using…

My Sister, the Serial Killer

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…

Queenie

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…

Becoming

Obviously, I wanted to read this. Everyone who reads is reading this. Even people that don’t read are reading this. Everyone, I repeat, everyone should read it. That is all. Becoming by Michelle Obama “If you don’t get out there and define yourself, you’ll be quickly and inaccurately defined by others.” Basically, this is Michelle…

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…

The Air You Breathe

Confession: I received a copy of this book back in July 2018, before it was even published (through First to Read), and JUST NOW read it. Embarrassing. I mean, I realize you can’t always keep up with what you plan. But I really have no excuse for it other than just not picking it up…

My Year of Rest and Relaxation

Ok, the buzz around this book was off the charts at the end of last year. It seemed like it burst onto the scene out of nowhere and was inspiring some of the most hardcore love/hate reader reactions I have seen in a long time. There was no middle ground anywhere! When I realized it…

Tangerine

I have a strange interest in reading about manipulative/obsessive f/f friendships. It’s not something I seek out overly often, because they can be very draining to read, but I am really fascinated by them. So, when one comes across my radar, I add it to my list. One of my favorites in this genre is…

She Would Be King

I love reading because it opens up so much of the world that is unknown. Like, there is just so much out there to learn about. I am drawn to books that will give me insight into something I didn’t previously know about. And even if, like in this case, the story itself is told…
