I was hopeful that P.S. I Still Love You would continue the magic of To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, and my hope was rewarded. There is such an earnestness to Lara Jean. She is confused by love and relationships, but she doesn’t try to hide that fact. She is very […]

Amherst By William Nicholson
I think it’s safe to say that almost everyone has recited or is at least familiar with, Emily Dickinson’s poetry. Her eccentricities are almost as famous as her poems. She never left the house, she really never saw people or let people see her, and she became an acclaimed poet after her death. What I […]
Dead Of Winter By Kresley Cole
Although this really isn’t my typical reading, The Arcana Chronicles has been a series that I am surprised, and pleased, to say that I really enjoy. After the cliffie at the end of book two, I was eager to dive in and see what terrible things Evie and the gang would have to endure. Spoiler […]
Sublime By Christina Lauren
There have been more than a few books written about a dead girl and a living boy, or vice versa, but Sublime felt a little different than your average paranormal romance. I admit that this isn’t a genre that I read a lot of, but the boarding school setting and some of the […]

Mary’s realization about herself turned her into someone to be reckoned with. While Kat and Lillia try […]
City Of Heavenly Fire By Cassandra Clare

Learning Not To Drown By Anna Shinoda
Learning Not To Drown might look like a typical YA issue book at first glance, but what I found was a story that drew me into its sad and dysfunctional world. Clare’s life is made up of parents that vacillate between being totally checked out when it comes to her emotional needs and overbearing when […]
