The Gilded Ones

March 22, 2021 Riley

Namina Forna This book is very much unlike any other YA books that I am familiar with. I was browsing through 2021 new releases at the library and came across this book. I am always trying to remind myself to read more recent books, and, fortunately, The Gilded Ones found its way into my hands.… Continue reading The Gilded Ones

Chain of Iron

March 3, 2021March 16, 2021 Riley

Cassandra Clare As far as second books in a trilogy go, this one is pretty much in line with every thing else — that is, it has completely and utterly destroyed me and I will be taking the next few days to recover! Those who think I am joking I, unfortunately, am not. But though… Continue reading Chain of Iron

Serpent & Dove

August 31, 2020 Riley

Shelby Mahurin It was only a matter of time until I finally read Serpent & Dove to see for myself what all the hype was about. I couldn't scroll through twitter or look up fantasy books without this title popping up, so I just had to know. I'll admit, I am easily persuaded by what… Continue reading Serpent & Dove

Bones and Drones

August 24, 2020 Riley

K. A. Goodsell * Thanks to the author for sending me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! This was a cute, fun read! The main character, Paislee, has a very strong and distinct voice and the reader gets a really good sense of who she is just by the way… Continue reading Bones and Drones

The Kingdom of Back

August 16, 2020 Riley

Marie Lu As I sit in my bed, eating banana bread, having just finished reading The Kingdom of Back, I am finding my hand slowly reaching for the book, impatient to read it again. I believe I am still in a deep book haze and I'm not sure my mind has fully returned to reality… Continue reading The Kingdom of Back

The Night Circus

August 10, 2020August 1, 2020 Riley

Erin Morgenstern I'm not sure what I expected when I picked up The Night Circus while browsing the shelves of Barnes and Noble, but I definitely did not expect to end up rereading it for a class I would take in college the following year. I remember thinking circus, hmmm, sounds like it could be… Continue reading The Night Circus

Isla and the Happily Ever After

July 29, 2020 Riley

Stephanie Perkins Where do I even begin? I am totally in love with this book. It is my go-to read whenever I find myself in a book slump and, even though I have lost count of how many times I've read it, Isla and the Happily Ever After never fails to entertain me. If I… Continue reading Isla and the Happily Ever After

A Darker Shade of Magic

July 15, 2020July 21, 2020 Riley

V. E. Schwab When I picked A Darker Shade of Magic off the shelf at the bookstore I was shocked that I had not read it sooner! Fantasy series are my kryptonite and so when I stumbled upon this new series I was ecstatic! And in an even more exciting turn of events, I absolutely… Continue reading A Darker Shade of Magic

Six of Crows

June 26, 2020July 21, 2020 Riley

Leigh Bardugo It's a story full of street gangs, elaborate heists, and mysterious characters, so it's no wonder that I tore through this book in record time. It didn't hurt that I am a sucker for damaged, angsty characters (yes, I'm talking about Kaz Brekker). Six of Crows is the first book in a trilogy,… Continue reading Six of Crows

All the Stars and Teeth

June 15, 2020July 21, 2020 Riley

Adalyn Grace Pirates and magic and romance? Yes, please! All the Stars and Teeth is the combination of these three things that everyone needs a little bit of in their lives. I picked this book up as kind of a filler, an easy read to get me out of a book slump. My expectations were… Continue reading All the Stars and Teeth
