Late last year I read the first book in Aveyard’s series about a young girl with extraordinary abilities. Because this is the sequel, there will be spoilers for the first book. If you plan on picking up this series (and I recommend doing that), then I would skip this review and go right to reading! Mare has such a fun story, one that I think greatly improved with this second book. I thought this was only a two-book series, and when I got to the end of […]
I Could Never Be Parisian
This was a “Oh hey, that looks interesting” book I picked up at the library recently. It was thin, had an interesting cover, and reminded me a little of The Paris Wife, which is a book I have a very fond place in my heart for. (Sidenote: Isn’t it strange how sometimes we love a book because of the book itself, and sometimes because of how we read it? I read The Paris Wife on a train from Dublin to Galway a couple summers ago and I […]
A Kissing Book!
Look, any book that’s described as “Nick and Norah’s Infinate Playlist meets Easy A…” is a book I’m going to have to read. I think what made me take notice was Steph Perkins (an amazing YA author in her own right) tweeting about it, and my needing something light and fluffy to read. I’ve been feeling in a reading rut lately, starting and stopping a few books because I just can’t get into the right headspace. Well, Kissing Ted Callahan has cleared that up, and this […]
A Continuing Royal Saga/Magic, Hearts, and Paper Dogs
Two reviews for the price of one! The Selection is one of those series I’m going to have to read to completion. The fifth (and I believe final) book is out in the spring, so in anticipation, and because I needed something light and fluffy to read, I finally picked up The Heir, the fourth book in this royal saga. About 20 years have passed since Maxon’s Selection was completed, and people ain’t happy. The caste system is gone, but there are still riots and people […]
An Original BAMF
So we all know that RBG is one of the most badass ladies to ever rock the black robes (or, honestly, just one of the most badass in general). She has spent decades fighting for gender quality, fearlessly and tirelessly going after what she things is right. She’s played with the big boys and held her own. All this from a tiny little New Yorker with a thing for scrunchies. Who also, I’ve found out, can do more push ups at age 82 than I can at […]
Look! A Good Sequel!
You guys, I think I have a problem. I really, really enjoy reading super depressing books that make me feel horrible about everything. I’m pretty sure this is not normal or healthy, but I can’t stop. Books that make me cry, books that make me curse, books that make me want to scream. Even about things that happened seventy years ago. I still want to get mad and yell. Rose Under Fire is a sequel (of sorts) to Code Name Verity, which I read and love. This […]
