5 out of 5 stars. Rick Riordan’s first installment of the Percy Jackson series, The Lightning Thief, is so, SO good! I honestly don’t think I have enjoyed a middle grade novel this much since Harry Potter (no joke!). What’s not to love about modern day Greek myths and fish-out-of-water (quite literally) heroes? After getting […]
5 out of 5 stars. Now, you may think I’m pimping this book out because Mandy is my buddy. Admittedly, that was how I got my hands on the ARC months ago. But I refuse to gush about books I don’t adore, so it’s fortunate that I ADORED this and can now gush freely. I’ve […]
You all may recall my gushing recommendation of Tara Hudson’s Hereafter a few weeks back. Well, I am now absolutely ecstatic to share my recent interview with her! Born and raised in Oklahoma, Tara Hudson graduated with a degree in law, mostly because she believed all the horror stories about English majors and their careers […]
5 out of 5 stars. It’s terrible that I haven’t recommended a Tamora Pierce book yet, so I shall begin with my very favorite: Wild Magic. This book literally changed my life. It was the first series I ever read with a strong female protagonist. I wanted nothing more than to leave my horrible junior […]
5 out of 5 stars. Wow, just wow. I don’t know why it took me so long to pick up this book–I really regret not starting Armstrong’s The Summoning sooner. The book opens with a darn GOOD prologue that officially scared the willies out of me, and the story just builds and builds after that. […]
5 out of 5 stars. Let me preface this by saying I’m not usually a fan of true-love/love-at-first-sight stories. Nor am I usually a fan of stories where the romance is the focal point. Then I got an ARC of debut author Tara Hudson’s Hereafter, and she pretty much flipped my expectations around. Maybe it […]
5 out of 5 stars. Wow. Just WOW. I finally picked up the sequel to Rachel Hawkins Hex Hall (which I adored), and I devoured it in a single sitting. If you liked the creepy-factor, spunky heroine, and super sexy Archer from the first book, then you will be blown away by book 2. Sophie […]
5 out of 5 stars. This book is WONDERFUL. Don’t let the poorly designed cover fool you. Saundra Mitchell’s Shadowed Summer is one of the most entertaining, spine-tingling ghost stories I’ve ever read. Ever. Iris is ready for another hot, routine summer in her small Louisiana town, hanging around the Red Stripe grocery with her […]
5 out of 5 stars. This thrilling sequel to M.K. Hobson’s The Native Star is downright wonderful. Somehow, it manages to be even better than its predecessor. Emily is one of my favorite heroines, and Stanton–oh, Stanton–I shall love you forever. Like it or not, Emily has fallen in love with Dreadnought Stanton, a New […]
♥ Here you go, Adriana. I’ll put up book recommendations on Sundays. JUST FOR YOU. ♥ 5 out of 5 stars. This book (and it’s sequel, Court Duel, which is now sold with book 1) is AMAZING. Sherwood Smith is one of my favorite writers–she is a true master of her craft–and this YA fantasy […]
