Why Did I Read? Say the words fairytale retelling and I am there. I don’t know why, but I just love fairytale retellings! I think I love the fairytale stories themselves and also enjoy all the possible alternative twists. It’s a lot of fun. My Thoughts: If you are a fan of retellings, this is not one to miss! The premise is a very unique take on the classic Cinderella story that is inventive and fresh. Sophia and all the […]

Why Did I Read? As many of you may know, two of my all time favorite books is The Scorpio Races and Red Rising. So when Ashlords has those two books as the comps? I was wary to say the least!

Why Did I Read? All my friends raved about this one and it definitely sounded like a romance I’d enjoy so of course I was going to read it!

Kristen is spunky, passionate about her work, fiercely loyal and hilarious. I swear to God, I could live in her head and enjoy her internal dialogue forever. Her […]
