Why Did I Read? Sporty YA contemporaries are 100% my jam and football? That’s a no brainer for me! My Thoughts: Ladies and gentlemen, we have another book to add my to 2020 favorites list! Throw Like A Girl was such a delight – I absolutely loved it and it was exactly what I needed to read right now. There is so much to love about this one and the first thing I have to address is, I love when […]

Why Did I Read? I really enjoyed Brigid Kemmerer’s Letters to the Lost and was excited to see what her latest contemporary was like! My Thoughts: Well, I know one thing. I can always trust Brigid to really hit me in the feels with her contemporaries. She manages to craft such heartbreaking stories with realistic family relationships. The push and pull of family and societal expectations and what would you do for those that you love? Where is the line […]

Why Did I Read? Let’s just say I was looking forward to this book since I first heard it announced and marketed as Firefly meets Dune! I was so on board! My Thoughts: This was a really action packed and thrilling sci-fi ride! I can definitely see the parallels to Firefly and Dune. Our spaceship in question is the Kaitan and our main cast the crew of the Kaitan. I absolutely loved each member on board the Kaitan and all the crew relationships. Everyone is close and they are […]

Why Did I Read? It sounds so magical and exciting! It sounded just like something I’d love. My Thoughts: Caraval is seriously one of the most hyped books of 2017. It was hyped last year at BEA and the hype only grew as more people read and raved about it. I really meant to get to this way earlier, it was one of my top books from BEA that I wanted! Anyway, I’m kind of conflicted about this one! Don’t get […]

Review: The Long Game by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

Why Did I Read? I have been anticipating this since I read The Fixer last year! There were questions that needed to be answered! My Thoughts: (There will be no spoilers for The Long Game but may be a SLIGHT–very very slight– spoiler for The Fixer in my review!) I really enjoyed The Fixer, I thought it was a great political intrigue thriller and kept me glued to the pages. However, its sequel just plain blew it out of the water! I’m not sure what […]
