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 […]

Ex Libris Audio: An Enchantment Of Ravens
Each book set in Faerie has its own rules. While some of the rules are usually the same (they are immortal, they can’t lie) An Enchantment of Ravens had a few new characteristics that I found to be interesting. The main conflict comes because Faeries can’t make craft, meaning they can’t really do anything that […]
Want By Cindy Pon
Want has been one of my most anticipated books this year and it did not disappoint! There is much about Want that seems very relevant to today. The world of this futuristic Taipei is extremely polluted to the point that it makes people sick and significantly shortens lives. Increased industrialization and limited regulations have made […]
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 Serpent King
Having grown up in a small town, I tend to gravitate toward stories set there and The Serpent Kind definitely captured both the comfort and the frustration of living in a small community. All three characters have lives that do not go unexamined by the local townspeople, but I would say that the focus of […]
The Museum Of Heartbreak By Meg Leder
There are a lot of books about friendships breaking up and then coming back together again, but I like where The Museum of Heartbreak took this theme. Friendships change,and sometimes that change is messy. Sometimes that change means that things won’t go back exactly how they were, and that’s ok. I like the way this […]
Ex Libris Audio: The Fiery Trial
As a set-up for The Dark Artifices series, the Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy work well. In The Fiery Trial, we see Emma and Julian, who will be main character in the aforementioned series. However, I would say that this is really a Simon and Clary story (yay!) and I was glad to get a […]
How To Disappear By Ann Redisch Stampler
How To Disappear starts after Nicolette has disappeared, which I thought was interesting and an excellent way to make sure this story hit the ground running. Nicolette is a girl who may or may not be on the run for killing someone and Jack may or may not have to kill her as retaliation. Both […]
Author Interview: Kristen-Paige Madonia
Today, I am pleased to have Kristen-Page Madonia on the blog! She is the author of Fingerprints of You (2012) and Invisible Fault Lines, which was released just last week by Simon & Schuster. Kristen-Page was kind enough to take some time and answer a few of my questions about Invisible Fault Lines. I’ll […]
