“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 […]
I received this book for review from the publisher, this does not influence my review. When I was pitched this book, I accepted it gladly. A verse novel about complex issues? Skyscraping is that novel but so much more. It’s also about family, friendship, changing over time and learning to accept things you can’t change. […]
I borrowed this book from my library, this does not influence my review. I think there’s really only one sentence needed to get you to read this book: Chopsticks is told entirely through pictures. That’s right, the whole story is told through beautiful photography and minimal text. In the true spirit of Chopsticks, a picture says […]
When I first heard about Blind, I wanted to read it immediately. I haven’t actually read a book with a blind protagonist, and I was looking forward to read in a new perspective. So you don’t understand how happy I am that this one did not disappoint! I really loved it, and I think Blind is just […]
I borrowed The Young Elites from my local library, this does not affect the contents of my review When I first heard about a new book from Marie Lu, I HAD TO read it. I loved Marie Lu’s Legend trilogy and I was read her next work. And I am super glad to be able to say […]
A while before I started blogging I read The Space Between by Brenna Yovanoff. It wasn’t highly ranked on Goodreads, I didn’t have any bookish friends to tell me to try it or anything like that. I just wandered the library and stumbled across this magnificently detailed and somehow depressing cover. I took it […]
I was really excited for Inland. I thought the concept sounded cool, it was going to be my first mermaid story and of course I fell head over hells in lust with the cover. I mean LOOK AT IT!!! A girl who looks so panicked, yet hiddenly powerful, trapped in a room with the ocean bearing […]
This review was originally written for my library’s blog, you can check out it’s original posting here! When Audrey Cuttler dumps her boyfriend Evan, self-involved jerk and lead singer of a band called The Do-Gooders, she never expected him to write a song about their breakup. And she definitely never expected it to get popular. […]
I’ll admit that when I first heard about a book about a girl dying from a heartbreak, I was wary to read it. But nonetheless, when it went on sale, I immediately bought it because of all the great things I’ve heard from others. I’m just excited to say that I really enjoyed reading this […]
Let me just kick this review off with saying I am not a historical fiction kind of girl. Have I tried the genre out sufficiently to utter those words? No. No I haven’t, and I know that’s not fair and it’s not smart and blah blah blah but to be totally honest it is what […]
