And just like that, another month is over. I can’t believe 2021 is moving so quickly and sometimes I forget that 2020 happened, so time doesn’t seem to want to stop for anyone.

How do I even distill what I’ve read into a book review? Here’s more about A Psalm for the Wild-Built Hugo Award-winner Becky Chambers’s delightful new series…

Get ready because I’m about to gush over this beautiful YA fantasy book. I didn’t know what I was getting into, but I knew that it was loosely based on the Hans Christian Anderson story, The Wild Swans. I think Elizabeth Lim might have hit the mark with this one for me and it absolutely…

I’m always wary of the 13th date, but not this week. This week, we have a bunch of excellent books releasing and I can’t wait to dive into one of them as my current read. What are you excited for that’s publishing today? The Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix A fast-paced, thrilling horror…

Every once in a while I come across a fun and interesting YA contemporary that pulls me in. This was one of them and I’m so glad to have read and enjoyed it. Here’s more about If You, Then Me What would you ask your future self? First question: What does it feel like to…
