Beginner’s Guide to Love and Time Travel
The Here and Now is about a girl who traveled back in time after a worldwide pandemic. The travelers are supposed to live under strict rules, but that doesn’t stop Prenna from falling in love with Ethan. There’s a lot of crazy time travel things that are a bit predictable, but I thought their relationship was kind of sweet. You can read my full review here.
Bubble, bubble, toil, and trouble
I wasn’t that into Whipple’s Transparent, which was about an invisible girl who is hiding from her criminal father. I liked House of Ivy and Sorrow more.

The women always leave their baby’s father, so Jo has never known her dad…until the day he shows up at their door. I waited way too long to write my review […]
Some kind of pun about not being cold on this book
Goodreads summary, for the lazy (me): “Tana lives in a world where walled cities called Coldtowns exist.

The only other survivors of this massacre are her exasperatingly endearing ex-boyfriend, infected and on the edge, and a mysterious boy burdened with a terrible […]
Parkour, bitch.
This is the most fun I’ve had while reading a book all year. I’ve loved and been affected by other books more deeply, but in terms of how gleeful a book has made me feel, this one wins hands down. Within the first three pages I was already giggling like a maniac. I’m currently twelve (almost thirteen, if I finish Brutal Youth tonight as I anticipate doing) reviews behind for this year, and it is eating my soul. And it’s this book’s fault, because I […]
Dreams of more Laini Taylor to read
Though not really reflected in my earlier (rather superficial, in retrospect) review, I have had a whirlwind of emotions with this series. I wrote said prior review as one piece for both of the preceding novels, Daughter of Smoke and Bone and Days of Blood and Starlight probably to avoid spoilers but also because I read them literally back-to-back: I finished Smoke and Bone and began Blood and Starlight with the same breath. As such, it became difficult to separate them for the purposes of thematic or ‘first impression’ review […]
