I received this book for review from the publisher, this does not influence my thoughts on the book or my review. When I read the synopsis for Bright Lights, Dark Nights, I knew I had to read it. I’m drawn to YA romances naturally and I knew I had to read this one, especially when there’s […]
I did not finish this book. This review explains why the book itself did not work for me Shelly told me A History of Glitter and Blood required patience to get in to. But after just 10 pages I knew that: 1) I didn’t have time for that kind of patience and 2) I was […]

Rating: DNF (for personal reasons not relating to the book) The reason I didn’t finish this one is completely personal. This novel starts with the main character going to school. She describes how stressful her school is and how “palpable” the stress is coming off her friend. While How to Say I Love You Out Loud sounds […]
Every 4th Sunday of the 3rd leap year during a full solar eclipse I enjoy a contemporary novel. I know that sounds really dramatic but just ask Shelly! Contemporary is not really my thing. I can (moderately) enjoy New Adult, Romance, Paranormal Romance and even Urban Fantasy. But if you suggest a flat-out contemporary or […]
I received a copy of this book for review, this does not influence my thoughts on the book. I’m always looking for cute MG books and when I heard about The Book of Dares for Lost Friends, I knew it was the book for me. Told in 3rd person POV with views from two best friends and […]
“The dead girl hung upside down over our kitchen table. Ropes dug into her ankles as she swayed from the chandelier.” This is how the expertly creepy Blood and Salt by Kim Liggett opens. A book so creepy that, even while reading it on a hot sunny day in beautiful Central Park I had to […]
