Hello summer! I’m looking forward to the summery weather and just can’t believe May flew by! It was packed with SO many exciting and fun events!

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

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

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, […]

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 […]

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! However, this one was a miss for me. While both time periods were captivating and written vividly, where it lacked for me was the characters.
