Squad Goals In Space: Aurora Rising by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman

Posted June 7, 2019 by Wendy in Reviews / 0 Comments

Why Did I Read? Two of my favorite authors teaming up for another sci-fi adventure meant I had this baby preordered from the get-go! My Thoughts: I loved it! There is just something magnetizing about Jay and Amie’s writing. They create really strong, unique characters and then they make you invested in them and their journey. They suck you in and then inevitably, once you are all in, they stab you viciously in the heart. And despite all the pain, […]

Review: Ogre Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine

Posted May 24, 2019 by Wendy in Reviews / 0 Comments

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 […]

Audiobook Mini Reviews: The Summer Wives, Devil in Spring

Posted May 16, 2019 by Wendy in Mini Reviews, Reviews / 2 Comments

I’m a big fan of dual timeline historical fiction stories, so The Summer Wives was one I was looking forward to, especially since I’ve really enjoyed other books by Beatriz Williams!

The romance was instant and unbelievable and I was missing that emotional connection to any of the characters. That disconnect made the book seem […]

Blog Tour Review: Love From A to Z by S.K. Ali

Posted May 4, 2019 by Wendy in Blog Tour, Reviews / 0 Comments

My Thoughts: Love From A to Z is such a beautifully told heartfelt story! It’s about Zayneb and Adam, two Muslim teens who randomly meet at the airport. It’s about friendship and love and the blatant racism and injustice that is so prevalent in our world today. It’s about navigating life through all its ups and downs and finding the people that are the marvels amongst the oddities. Zayneb and Adam are both at critical turning points in their lives […]

Review: Serious Moonlight by Jenn Bennett

Posted April 22, 2019 by Wendy in Reviews / 0 Comments

Why Did I Read? I have LOVED Jenn Bennett’s other YA contemporaries (Alex, Approximately and Starry Eyes) like they’re on all time favorite statuses. So this was one of my most anticipated 2019 releases and ever since I first heard it announced I wanted it ASAP because 1) it takes place in MY BELOVED CITY, 2) mysteries, 3) half-asian love interest! I was so fortunate to snag a copy at ALALMW and it was the first one I read from the books […]
