My Thoughts: So this was one of my top anticipated books of 2018! I really loved Erin Bowman’s Vengeance Road and Retribution Rails so I was psyched to find out she was coming out with a sci fi! Unfortunately… I was really let down! You know when you’re watching a bad movie and everyone is just making bad decisions left and right and you’re sitting there thinking of COURSE you’re going to do that.

My Thoughts: Unfortunately, this Kasie West book missed the mark for me! It’s actually making me a little hesitant about future Kasie West YA contemporaries because a few have totally been meh for me.

Alice has spent her whole life moving around with her mom because bad luck always seems to find them. Her grandmother is sort of famous for writing a book of dark fairy tales — a […]
Why Did I Read? I love fairy tale retellings. Every time that’s in a blurb, I’m like I need it! My Thoughts: I really loved the first half of this book! This Snow White retelling was super original and had some really fascinating aspects and twists on the classic Snow White fairytale. That’s my favorite part about retellings — seeing the unique twists that authors come up with and how they fit into this brand new story and still seeing […]
