I’ve been in a bit of a reading slump. Ugh – not fun at all. I forgot to do my wrap up for June, which was a fine month, I think I read 7 books. But it’s more than halfway through July, and I’ve only read 1 book. This is really out of character for…

The Heirs by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé recently released on June 2. This is a YA-ish murder mystery story. I say YA-ish because the main characters seem to be 18 year olds, but they might actually be 21 (they talk about drinking alcohol quite often in this one). Overall, I had fun with this one! The premise: 5…

So much for doing a better job this month on posting regular updates. My work life is apparently my whole life these days, even though I still am prioritizing reading, I’ve simply struggled to sit down at the computer and write. However, I do have 2 recent read reviews to share here – one for…

This story follows four teens – Sierra, Carter, Adi, and Beck – as they go through a reality competition TV…

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Thank you. The Infinite Sadness of Small Appliances by Glenn Dixon is such a sweet, heart-warming, creative, and wonderful little book. It’s The Brave Little Toaster meets Equilibrium (the movie with Christian Bale) and also a little…

This past weekend was 2nd & Charles’s Penny-A-Page sale. If you’re not familiar with this, or with 2nd & Charles, allow me to enlighten you! 2nd & Charles is a book store (I believe run by Books-A-Million as the parent company) that carries both new and used books, vinyl, boardgames, t-shirts, and other fun bookish…

Hi hi hi! I’ve been trying to catch up on some NetGalley ARCs and I REALLY enjoyed 2nd & Charles having Penny-A-Page on Saturday (I’ll share my book haul soon too). But in the meantime, here’s a cute little Springtime Book Tag that I figured I’d do. @bookables on YouTube just posted this, and with…

When I saw Rainbow Rowell had a new book coming out I immediately requested an ARC and squealed when I was approved. Plus, how stunning is this cover?!! Overall, this is a good book. Rowell’s dialogue is snappy. She is astute and I enjoy her writing style. This is a story about life and the…
