The Edge of the Abyss by Emily Strutskie

The Edge of the Abyss by Emily Strutskie

I received a copy of this book for review from the publisher, this does not influence my thoughts or the content of this review. After the end of The Abyss Surrounds Us, I knew I had to read the sequel immediately. Luckily for me, The Edge of the Abyss started off right where the last novel ended and I […]

The Upside of Unrequited by Becky Albertalli

I received a copy of this book for review, this does not influence my thoughts or the contents of this review. As a hardcore fan of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda, I expected to really enjoy The Upside of Unrequited and I’m happy to report that I was not disappointed. The Upside of Unrequited was absolutely phenomenal and I […]

Stop & Chat ~ My Break Up With YA ~

When I first decided to do this post I thought it would be like any other discussion. But after spending literal HOURS trying that route I think a better plan is to just write it like a letter (thanks Shelly!). To YA, I’ve read you almost exclusively for the past 6 years and I hate […]

Disaster Diaries: 01: ZOMBIES! by R. McGeddon

Disaster Diaries: 01: ZOMBIES! by R. McGeddon

This book was seriously the CUTEST THING EVER! I haven’t read a middle grade book since…..well since I was in middle school! But when I got the Macmillan catalogue and saw this adorable and guaranteed hilarious beauty I had to request it! And I’m so happy that I did. I’m not sure if its the […]

Cole by Tijan

Cole by Tijan

First, I want to just squeal thank you to Rachael for unconsciously recommending this to me. I was casually stalking Rachael’s goodreads looking for something steamy but different to read when I stumbled across Cole. I’m going to be honest here. I have almost NO positive experience with mafia stories. I think I’ve read one […]

If You Liked… Round 1!

Good morning lovelies! Today I’m introducing what I hope will be a semi-regular game series to RSR. There are only so many reviews and interviews a person can do before they’re bored (and you know I have the attention span of a small child in toys r us) so I thought adding some bookish games […]

Done Dirt Cheap by Sarah Nicole Lemon

Done Dirt Cheap by Sarah Nicole Lemon

I received a copy of this book for review from the publisher, this does not influence my thoughts or this review. Not only does Done Dirt Cheap have one of the most unique book covers I’ve ever seen, the phenomenal writing alone makes it a novel worth picking up. Tourmaline has an unconventional home life, her […]
