Why Did I Read? When I was a kid, Ella Enchanted was my absolute favorite. I reread it so many times. I still own the same copy I had when I was young and the pages are yellowed, the cover is creased and it’s very, very well loved. I was downright ecstatic when I found out there was going to be another story in the same world! My Thoughts: Well, I was a little (please forgive my pun) disenchanted with […]

Why Did I Read? So I actually didn’t know the premise of this one before going into it! I knew it was a popular Broadway musical and this was the novelization and knew it had gained a lot of love this year. But the synopsis? I knew nothing but as a lover of Broadway and knowing there was a big following, I was eager to see what the fuss was about. My Thoughts: This is one of those books that […]

In Timekeeper we are in an alternate London where there are clock towers that regulate time — literally. If something happens to a clock tower, […]

Since You’ve Been Gone was the first book I’ve read by Morgan Matson and it definitely won’t be my last! In fact, I really need to go devour her other books now because I LOVED Since You’ve Been Gone! It was so relatable and I couldn’t stop thinking about it after I finished! Oh, and did I mention I finished it at like 4:30 a.m? Yes. I couldn’t put it down! I’m usually more of a fantasy gal, so it did surprise […]

The Fault in Our Stars is something I’ve put off reading for forever. The subject matter scared me! Kids and cancer. That is a recipe for heart aching disaster for me and for my heart’s sake, I put it off. However, with the movie coming out and all, I wanted to read it before watching it. I mentally braced myself. I started reading, preparing to have my heart ripped out. Now, I don’t know if it was the hype or […]
