I don’t know what it is about this world, but I was so happy to be back in it again. It wasn’t just the return of old friends and the sense of “checking in” to see how they are, but the desire I had to see how Ravka would recover from the Darkling’s horrible influence. […]

Ex Libris Audio: Strange The Dreamer
I was so, so ready to jump into another world created by the talented and amazing Laini Taylor. The beginning of Strange the Dreamer might seem a bit slow, but I urge you to hang on because everything you read builds and builds and there is not one part of the story that I would […]
The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
This will be a short review because I am not sure that I really have more to add to the conversation about this amazing book. The Hate U Give was a powerful read. It makes you think, it makes you angry and, if you come from a place of privilege, it will make you really […]
Ex Libris Audio: Crooked Kingdom
I put this book off for little but because I didn’t want it to end. But it was too temping after a while, and it was every bit as amazing as I thought it would be. Leigh Bardugo’s beautiful writing brings Ketterdam back to life and she somehow manages to cram even more intrigue, mystery, […]

A Torch Against The Night By Sabaa Tahir
When a book like An Ember in the Ashes comes out, there is always so much pressure on the second book to be just as good. I have to say that A Torch Against the Night did not disappoint! It pretty much picks up right where book one stopped and you are right back in […]
The Winner’s Kiss By Marie Rutkoski
I was both eager and fearful when I started this book. Each installment of this series was the best kind of painful and, especially in the last book, I knew that any happiness in the end would be bittersweet and hard-won. The end of book two was pretty grim and I was first and foremost […]
