*** This is a spoiler free book review*** I recently finished reading Carry On by Rainbow Rowell and if I could sum up this book in three words it would be: 'queer Harry Potter'. If that isn't enough to convince you to read this book, then keep reading and I'll do my best to continue to convince you! For fans of Rowell's book Fangirl, you may recall the title characters, as this book dives into the world of Simon Snow, the fictional character in the stories Cath is so obsesse

**This is a spoiler free review** Heartless is a re-telling of Alice of Wonderland, before Alice. (If that even counts as a re-telling??) Basically, it's an imagined origin story of the Queen of Hearts, Catherine. The story is creative and unique and learning about some of the classic characters lives before Alice in Wonderland was really fascinating. The story is told from Catherine's, the future Queen of Hearts, perspective. Reading the book and knowing how it technically e

**This review is spoiler free** I just finished reading Illuminae as a buddy read last night and to be honest, my mind is a little blown. I had/have another book with me that I intended to start right after, but after completing this book I realized there was no way I could immediately start reading something else. This is one of those books where you need a few deep breaths and some time before you start something new. I read this book with my friend Amy (checkout out her in

** This is a spoiler free review** I recently finished reading The Hate You Give, and WOW. Just wow. I know we, as readers, have a variety of preferences when it comes to the books we read. But this is one book that, regardless of personal preferences, everyone should read. I don't even know if I have the words to express how incredibly important this book is. Not only is the writing superb, but it is extremely relevant and important to many modern social issues. Depending on

*This is a spoiler-free review* I decided to kick off my 2018 reading with This Savage Song by Victoria (V.E.) Schwab! I have not yet had a chance to read her A Darker Shade of Magic Series either, and I was feeling like I was one of the only people in the world not to have read at least one of her books! Now that I have officially read one of her books, I thought I would type up a quick review. Overall, I enjoyed this book. I did feel like it started a little slow, but given

Can you believe it is December already? While I have been doing a lot of reading, I haven't had as much time to sit down and write reviews. I'm making up for that by making a list of holiday reads for all kinds of readers! Whether you like to read holiday themed books or not, I hope there is something on this list for all! If you have any other suggested reads, please share them in the comments. And most importantly, Happy Holidays! For the Young Adult Reader: Let it Snow By:

**This is a spoiler free review** I recently finished Wicked Like a Wildfire by Lana Popovic, which I received in my August Fairyloot box. Overall, I liked it, but I do have some mixed feelings. Iris and Malina are twin sisters who live with their mother and work in her bakery. All 3 also have the 'gleam' a magic that allows them to manipulate beauty through the senses. Their mother's past is also shrouded in mystery, and the girls do not even know who their father was. When

Recently I found myself in a bit of a reading slump. As much as I wanted to read, I just couldn't figure out what book to pick up, and really didn't have the motivation to pick one out either! I think there is something a little extra special about the books that pull you out of your reading slumps. Slumps happen to the best of us, and when a book gets you reading to the point where you can't put it down, it's a great feeling. Enter Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalc

**This is a spoiler free book review** “Some things don't need words. Sometimes it's enough to just feel. You don't have to label and articulate all that's around you.” I read Soundless in about a day, and really enjoyed it! It follows the story of a young girl (Fei) who lives in her village in the mountains. A rockslide has cut them off from the rest of the world, so food and supplies are sent up from the world below via a small zip line. Over the years, everyone in the vill

**This is a spoiler free review, but may contain some information from the first two books in the series** I finally finished the third book in the Remnant Chronicles. I had read the first two, but stopped to read A Court of Wings and Ruin before moving on to this book. I was in a bit of a reading slump, but this book eventually pulled me out. There's lots to love about this book. Lia is such a strong female character and I love how she stands up for herself and what she beli
