I can't write books so I review them instead
It has taken me a while to get to this book. Mostly because I really enjoyed the first novel and I was apprehensive as to whether I would like the second book. There’s this thing I like to refer to as “Second-Book Syndrome”; the second book in a series sucks in comparison to the first.…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I’m always in the mood for a story that is unique. I find that most realistic fiction novels that are YA tend to follow the same trajectory, but this story came off as being different so I was glad…
My friend recommended I try a book by Amanda Quick, an author whose work I have never read. I was happy to get the opportunity to read this novel through the First to Read program created by Penguin Random House so thank you to the author and publishers for giving me the opportunity! If you…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Although I’ve been meaning to get a lot of reading done this week, I have literally had no time. I’ve had so many deadlines for my classes and experiments to conduct in my lab that I have just been…

I love Sophie Kinsella. Whenever I need a book to pick me up out of a bad mood, she is one of the authors I turn to. I loved her Shopaholic series, and would read them cover-to-cover as soon as they came out. I haven’t touched one of her novels in a while but I…
Dawn Kurtagich has made a name for herself in teen horror. I’ve always been meaning to give one of her books a go but I’ve never really had a chance to do so – until now. This novel also has an alternate title, The Creeper Man, which is the UK title. Silla and Nori arrive in…
My first classic was Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, and I adored it. I still do. I didn’t really enjoy too many of the other novels by Jane Austen, but this one has always stayed with me. I am always interested in reading modern retellings of novels I love so I was very excited to…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Yay to cute teen novels!!! I used to love reading cute romance novels when I was younger, and this novel is just such a throwback to those times! After all of the dark thrillers that I’ve been reading, I…
