Some of you may do this while others take a more traditional approach, but I love to track my books on Goodreads. Being as my day job consists of looking at numbers all the time, I wanted to look at the numbers for a book I was reading. How long does it take me to [...]

Always and Forever, Lara Jean by Jenny Han
I love me some good old fashion young adult. No frills. No complications. The kinds of books that don't surprise you with turmoil or unexpected struggles. It's like reading a book about reality and sometimes in reality, there's not a lot of drama for your mama. Synopsis Lara Jean’s letter-writing days aren’t over in this [...]
We Are Okay by Nina LaCour
Well, it took me long enough to write up this review and I want to do it justice because We Are Okay was one of the most beautifully written books I've read in 2017. I finished reading this one on the flight to Florida earlier in April and sadly, it took me this long [...]
Caraval by Stephanie Garber
Remember, it's only a game... Maybe it's me or the most recent weeks, but I've been watching and reading a lot about warp realities and the mind playing tricks on you. What is real? What's not real? How can you tell the difference? In a world where you can't tell what's real and what's not [...]
A Conjuring of Light by VE Schwab
If you're into video games, this book and its series definitely feels like you're playing one. I think that goes double for A Conjuring of Light in which they have to fight a mega boss; a shadowy creature that inhabits its prey and forces them to do things. What would you do with your rag-tag [...]
Love, Life, and the Teen Dream
Ah...young love. Recently, a bookish friend asked me for some book suggestions. She was looking for teen romance novels for girls who are single and want to find love. I obligingly provided her with a few of the authors that I loved (more on that in a little bit), but there was something I wanted [...]
Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon – Review and Trailer!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42KNwQ6u42U Happy belated Valentine's Day, y'all! The internet gifted us the other night with the new trailer for Everything, Everything and I'm in love! I didn't plan for the trailer to be released at the same time I was finishing this book. Since that's the way it goes, I've decided to post both my review of [...]
2017 Valentine’s Day Reads
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tj8O0fiVxhs I don't know about you, but I had a lot of fun watching 50 Shades Darker this weekend as my own little Valentine's Day gift! With the opening of 50 Shades Darker over the weekend and a very popular romantic holiday coming up, I figured I'd give you a few of my favorite Valentine's Day [...]
Holding Up the Universe by Jennifer Niven – Book Review
I love Jennifer Niven and when I heard she's publishing another book, I immediately picked it up. Sadly (and a lot of other book people understand this), I've got a TBR pile on the verge of burying me in books sitting around waiting to be read. While it took me a few months to finally [...]
The Lovely Reckless by Kami Garcia – Book Review
A few posts ago, I mentioned doing a Library Reading Challenge, where I try to read four books within three weeks time. The reason? Well, you can only borrow a book for three weeks before you have to return it. Given my track record on reading, I would only be able to finish 3/4 books. [...]
