Dreamstrider by Lindsay Smith

Dreamstrider by Lindsay Smith

I received a copy of this book for review from the publisher, this does not influence my opinion on the book or my review. Dreams have always been of fascination to me, because I can never remember mine. I knew I had to give Dreamstrider a chance, especially since the author’s other novels sound so interesting […]

Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

I received a copy of this book for review from the publisher, this does not influence my review or my opinion on the book. The Shadow and Bone Trilogy was a bit iffy for me.

DNF: How to Say I Love You Out Loud by Karole Cozzo

DNF: How to Say I Love You Out Loud by Karole Cozzo

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 […]

Devoted by Jennifer Mathieu

Devoted by Jennifer Mathieu

I received this book from the publisher for review, this does not affect my thoughts on the book.  I’m going to be honest, I was iffy about reading Devoted. I am not the most religious person (nor do I know a lot about religion) but I do love reading from points of views that are not […]
