I am always up for a book that explores relationships between sisters and A Psalm for Lost Girls has that in spades.

Blog Tour: Confessions Of A High School Disaster
Written in a diary format, Confessions of a High School Disaster was a book I expected to read like younger YA, but ended up touching upon a wide variety of experiences and issues over the course of one school year. Chloe’s voice was honest and really funny at times. As a freshman, she was trying […]
Ex Libris Audio: The Last Of August
The first book in this series was more about how Watson and Holmes were as individuals, both dealing with the notoriety of their families and how they struggled against those expectations and history. In The Last of August, I felt like it was more about how they interacted as a team and possibly as a […]

Life In A Fishbowl By Len Vlahos
I never really had a great opinion of reality TV, but after reading Life in a Fishbowl, I feel like all of my feelings have been vindicated. Jared receives a devastating diagnosis, so from the beginning you know that his days are numbered. When he puts his life for sale on eBay, the reader also […]
Ex Libris Audio: Three Dark Crowns
I loved the world of Three Dark Crowns. The island where this story takes place is so isolated that the outside world doesn’t really know much about them and they don’t know much about the outside world. The three sisters live in this brutal microcosm where they know that their gifts are their weapon and […]
