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 […]

I’m also taking this seriously because while there are plenty of […]

For those that don’t know, I was in New Zealand and Australia and it was seriously the trip of a lifetime. I’ve been WANTING to write a bit of a recap post at least for when I […]

Review: Starry Eyes by Jenn Bennett

Why Did I Read? The great outdoors! Hiking! It’s my thing! Plus I loved Jenn Bennett’s YA contemporary last year too! My Thoughts: I could not have picked a more perfect time to read Starry Eyes. I was on a multi day backpacking hiking trip in New Zealand when I read it! I was literally out in the forest and the great outdoors as I read about Zorie and Lennon hacking it out there. Firstly, a little bit of background: I […]
