The Boy Next Door by Katie Van Ark

The Boy Next Door by Katie Van Ark

I received an ARC of this book from the publisher, thanks! However, this does not affect my opinions/thoughts of the book. While I read a lot of cute romances, The Boy Next Door was my first one about ice skating. Maddie and Gabe have been skating partners since they were young, and Maddie has been in […]

I’ll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson

I’ll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson

I borrowed this book from my library, this still does not affect the contents of my review. When I heard about a new book from Jandy Nelson, I was a little nervous. I enjoyed her last book, but the writing sometimes rubbed me the wrong way and this new book is about twins- which is […]

Better Nate than Ever by Tim Federle: Mini-Review

Better Nate than Ever by Tim Federle: Mini-Review

If you’re like me, and you love a fun book, then you’ll just adore Better Nate Than Ever. It’s a fun, awesome and very unique middle-grade title that would be suitable for basically everyone! All Nate Foster has ever dreamed about, is starring in on a Broadway show so when an E.T. musical is having an open […]

We Were Liars by E. Lockhart: Mini Review

We Were Liars by E. Lockhart: Mini Review

I have heard some pretty great things about this book, and so  I decided to borrow it from the library, and I am a little.. underwhelmed. I’m not disappointed, but I’m not so impressed with it either. I think it’s due to the hype, because of the large amount of people saying how great the […]

I received an eARC of this book for review from the publisher, this does not affect the contests of my review or my opinions on the book. When I first heard about Famous Last Words, I knew I had to pick it up, despite it being a book I wouldn’t normally read. And oh boy am […]

Afterworlds by Scott Westerfeld

Afterworlds by Scott Westerfeld

Afterworlds was probably one of my most anticipated reads for the year. I have read (and loved) Westerfeld’s Leviathon trilogy and his Uglies series was probably one of the first YA series I’ve ever read. So when I found out that Scott Westerfeld had a new book coming out and it’s about a teenage writer, […]

Evidence of Things Not Seen by Lindsey Lane

Evidence of Things Not Seen by Lindsey Lane

I received a copy of this book from the publisher for review but this does not affect the contents of my review nor my feelings towards the book. To say that Evidence of Things Not Seen is unlike anything I’ve ever read is not an exaggeration. However, it doesn’t mean that I enjoyed it immensely. Evidence of Things […]

100 Sideways Miles by Andrew Smith

100 Sideways Miles by Andrew Smith

I am constantly searching for the perfect unique contemporary and I’m happy to report that 100 Sideways Miles has made the list. 100 Sideways Miles is about a teen named Finn Easton and his particular knack for measuring time in distance. I sort of understand how he does it but I am no fan of math so […]
