Dear Martin: A Spoiler-Free Review
I wasn’t planning on posting this review today because A) I literally just managed to find a copy of Dear Martin by Nic Stone today andB) it’s Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon and I’m supposed to be reading not writing. However, I just finished Dear Martin and I have so many feelings that I knew there…

Hamilton's Battalion: A Spoiler Free Review
Thank you so much to Alyssa Cole, Rose Lerner, and Courtney Milan for allowing me to read this collection of their short stories in advance of release day so I could tell all of you about it! I adore Courtney Milan, as you likely know, so I was obviously interested in this book immediately. Additionally,…

Pride & Prejudice & Mistletoe: Spoiler Free Review
Y’all… I requested this book with high hopes. I was really wanting it to be a good book that I would really enjoy. What it was… Well, let’s just say, I wasn’t a fan. So I’m going to give you the little blurb and then try to articulate without quotes (which is going to be…

Moxie: Spoiler Free Review
I’m so excited to bring you all my book of the month review for Moxie by Jennifer Mathieu! I really enjoyed this book, but more importantly, I really wish it had existed for me in high school. I’m going to try so hard to not wander off on tangents about the importance of Title IX…

The Windfall: A Spoiler Free Review
First of all, I’m so proud of this picture so I really need you all to fawn over my photography skills for me (even though it’s not at all technically great). Secondly, this book was fascinating. Essentially, it’s a book about Mr. and Mrs. Jha who are moving from their solidly middle class neighborhood to…

Landslide: True Stories Spoiler Free Review
I’m just going to provide you with the Goodreads blurb for Landslide, because I honestly have no idea how to blurb essay collections. Minna Proctor’s LANDSLIDE is a charismatic, darkly funny collection of linked essays which primarily explore the author’s complicated relationship with her mother, who was diagnosed with cancer at age 57 and died…

Ramona Blue: A Spoiler Free Review
Let me begin by saying that I love this book and I’m so glad I read it. You may remember that I read the first chapter of Ramona Blue by Julie Murphy for my Try a Chapter Tag and be wondering what the heck took me so long to actually finish it. That’s a great…

The Child Finder by Rene Denfeld: A Spoiler-Free Review
I apologize sincerely for the very delayed post. I meant to have this up yesterday, but I had a very busy weekend/Tuesday, which meant I finished the book late on Monday and spent yesterday traveling, which unfortunately meant I didn’t manage to get my review posted on release day. Anyway, enough disclaimers/excuses: TO THE REVIEW!…

A Discussion of the Portrayal of Domestic Violence in Bad Romance
Guess who has a lot of feelings about a book? Grab yourself a tea or hot chocolate because we’re about to have a deep dive into the world of intimate partner violence. This book is so important and everyone, especially teens, need to read it. Actually, also adults. Honestly, I’m still not over the man…

Hate to Want You by Alisha Rai Book Talk
I thought I didn’t like second chance tropes, but turns out I just really don’t like them when they’re done poorly or the lead reminds me of my ex-boyfriend. What I’m say is that I went into Hate to Want You a little nervous and then I LOVED it so much. So if you’re putting…
