When I heard that the main character in Each Tiny Spark has Inattentive Type ADHD (they used to call it ADD), I knew I had to read it. My ten year old daughter was diagnosed with ADHD last year and as we navigate the support she needs at school and at home, reading books […]

Blog Tour: Hope And Other Punchlines
September 11th has been written about in YA before, but I really loved how it was examined in Hope and Other Punchlines. I was twenty -five and teaching elementary school on that terrible day and I remember very well the feeling that the world we live in was forever changed for the kids who looked […]
Blog Tour: We Hunt The Flame
I have been very, very excited about this book for a long time and it did not disappoint! Just reading the plot on the jacket copy will draw you in, I promise, and though it is a world that is not safe and is full of danger, you will still want to remain. We Hunt […]
Blog Tour: Dig
I haven’t read all of A.S. King’s books, but I have read enough to see that although they are all very different, there is a similar feel to then, as well. I expect to feel the story deeply, and with Dig that was certainly the case. It’s a dark book, overall, and a story […]
Blog Tour: Wicked Saints
I’m not sure what I was expecting from Wicked Saints, but I will say that I very much enjoyed this story! I have a lot to say, but I really don’t want to ruin it, so I’ll try to hit the high points and hopefully convince you to pick it up. The pacing […]
Blog Tour: The Everlasting Rose
The Everlasting Rose basically picks up right where The Belles ended, which was a little disorienting at first, but once I settled back into that world I was drawn into the story once more. Camiella is now on the run from Queen Sophia and is the most wanted criminal in Orleans. Along with […]

Author Guest Post: Cindy R. Wilson
Cindy R. Wilson was kind enough to write a guest post for me about the representation of mental illness in YA. As someone who suffered from undiagnosed anxiety for years, this is a subject that is near and dear to my heart. As I read Paper Girl, I am struck by how much a book […]
Blog Tour + Giveaway: The Reckoning of Noah Shaw
This book contains subjects relating to suicide, depression,and self-harm. Overall, I am just a big fan of this series and this world. I remember reading the first Mara Dyer book and it really grabbed my attention. Part of that reason, of course, was Noah. I wasn’t always sure how I felt about him because he […]
