Nine times out of ten, when I finish a book I write the review immediately. I find that while the book is still fresh in my mind it’s easiest to put my thoughts into words. For the first time in my 7 months as a book blogger, I have spent days trying to decide how to rate “Wayfarer.” I just couldn’t put my finger...
Review When the final Harry Potter book was released in 2007, I vividly remember borrowing $20 from my dad so that I could wait in line at midnight to purchase it. The entire drive home, I found myself hoping I would hit a red light so that I could pick up the book and begin reading it. As soon as I stepped out of my...
“Jude and her twin brother, Noah, are incredibly close. At thirteen, isolated Noah draws constantly and is falling in love with the charismatic boy next door, while daredevil Jude cliff-dives and wears red-red lipstick and does the talking for both of them. But three years later, Jude and Noah are barely speaking....
I received an advanced reading copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. In today’s day and age, nobody meets organically anymore. I feel like meet-cutes are no longer a thing.

I remember walking through the halls of my school with my nose in a novel, staying up past my bedtime with a book and a flashlight under my covers and...
Literary whiplash, a new phrase I’d like to coin, refers to the mental blow a reader suffers when main characters change opinions rapidly and with too much frequency. Not only have I invented this genius phrase (you’re welcome, world), I consider myself its first victim. When I stumbled across Lauren Layne’s...
Review As is the case with most women my age, I’ve suffered my fair share of heartbreak. The kind that has you curling up in bed and sobbing, while eating any kind of chocolate you can get your hands on. No offense to my ex-boyfriends, but not a single one of them has broken my heart as much as Marissa Meyer’s...
