BOOK REVIEW: ADMIRAL by Sean Danker

I received an ARC of this from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. Recently I've had an interest for books that take place in space. I've always liked space, be it through stuff like Star Trek/Star Wars, or just my on-going fascination with black holes and stars. (I didn't take Orion as part of … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: ADMIRAL by Sean Danker

BOOK REVIEW: SUFFER LOVE by Ashley Herring Blake

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. I didn't know much about this book from NetGalley's description. The description is incredibly short, and only indicates that it's a YA romance where "a teenage girl falls for the wrong guy." I'll admit that I get easily burnt out on … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: SUFFER LOVE by Ashley Herring Blake

BOOK REVIEW: FIRST YOU TRY EVERYTHING by Jane McCafferty

In my on-going challenge to actually read all the books I've bought over my time in the MFA program I studied in, I'm trying to mix them in with all the other books I've gotten. FIRST YOU TRY EVERYTHING is one of the first books I got at Carlow, after hearing McCafferty speak. After 3 … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: FIRST YOU TRY EVERYTHING by Jane McCafferty

BOOK REVIEW: THE HARVEST by Chuck Wendig

At long last. I finally read this book. AT LONG LAST. (Spoilers for books 1-2 under the cut.) There's something a little bittersweet about final books in series. It's the point you've been trying to get to all this time; it's the grand finale where (you hope) all the questions get answered. But at the … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: THE HARVEST by Chuck Wendig

BOOK REVIEW: THE GIRL WHO STAYED by Tanya Anne Crosby

I received an ARC of this book from The Story Plant in exchange for an honest review. I remember being excited when I saw the description for this book in my emails with Story Plant. It sounded like a good combination of a thriller and women's fiction, which would soften a few of the edges … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: THE GIRL WHO STAYED by Tanya Anne Crosby

BOOK REVIEW: DOROTHY MUST DIE by Danielle Paige

Okay, so I'll admit. I'm a huge fan of Wicked, both the musical and the book. I've seen The Wiz, both on stage and the movie. I haven't actually seen the original Wizard of Oz movie all that often, and nor have I had a chance to read the books. But I love the story, and the characters, … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: DOROTHY MUST DIE by Danielle Paige

BOOK REVIEW: BLIGHTBORN by Chuck Wendig

Book twooo! I continue to be way too excited to read this trilogy. I've waited so long... *sniff* But particularly after where book one left off, I was particularly interested in what was going to happen next. (Note: spoilers for book one below the cut, because it is literally impossible to talk about book two … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: BLIGHTBORN by Chuck Wendig

BOOK REVIEW: THIS IS WHERE IT ENDS by Marieke Nijkamp

I've been excited to read this since I first found out that the book existed and was going to be published.  As with too much of the rest of the country, I have a strange fascination with tragedy and why it happens, so a book about a school shooting is right up my alley. (Particularly … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: THIS IS WHERE IT ENDS by Marieke Nijkamp

BOOK REVIEW: STARGIRL by Jerry Spinelli

I can't recall exactly where I came across STARGIRL for the first time, though my guess would be I saw something about it on Goodreads. I'm not usually a reader of anything bordering on Middle Grade; it has a tendency to amplify everything I dislike about Young Adult. (This doesn't surprise me, of course. The … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: STARGIRL by Jerry Spinelli

BOOK REVIEW: THE GOOD NEIGHBOR by A.J. Banner

When I got my Kindle for Christmas, I went on a bit of a spree trying to find books I could track down for either free or very low cost. I can't recall how I tracked this one down--I'm guessing it showed up somewhere in my library as a free download, but the blurb looked … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: THE GOOD NEIGHBOR by A.J. Banner
