First and foremost, thank you to DC for providing me with a free copy of this book! Now on with the review! I don’t read graphic novels, usually, but for the first one I’ve read in who knows how many years, I think it was a really quick and enjoyable read. The colours were vibrant … Continue reading Gotham High by Melissa de la Cruz + Thomas Pitilli

The Kingdom of Back by Marie Lu
For anyone who didn’t know, The Kingdom of Back is a STANDALONE and is a retelling of sorts of Nannerl Mozart’s story—Wolfgang Mozart’s sister, who was an equally prodigious musician and whom he was really close with. From the first page to the last, it’s full of music and magic and a girl who just … Continue reading The Kingdom of Back by Marie Lu
Dear Evan Hansen by Val Emmich
I've always said that if I can't relate to the main character in the book I'm reading in some way, then I won't be able to appreciate the story. Well, let me tell you, I have never felt more understood by a character than I did by Evan Hansen. He was literally the embodiment of … Continue reading Dear Evan Hansen by Val Emmich
The Queen of Nothing by Holly Black
Okay, because I'm going to keep this review completely honest, I'm going to start by mentioning that I didn't really like this series to begin with, so keep that in mind when considering my review! I did think this was a worthy finale and I enjoyed it more than the first two book, but unsurprisingly, … Continue reading The Queen of Nothing by Holly Black
The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness
I still can't quite figure out what to think of this book. It was decidedly very different from books I've read before, because, as the synopsis implies, it looks at the perspectives of people who were away from all the real actions. The people on the sidelines of the exciting story. The ones who aren't … Continue reading The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness
The Shadows Between Us by Tricia Levenseller
This. Book. Consumed. Me. I didn't just consume the book, it consumed ME. I basically read it all in one sitting. I could not bring myself to put it down because I was so engaged with the whole story and it just flowed so well! The story seamlessly carries you along from scene to scene … Continue reading The Shadows Between Us by Tricia Levenseller
One of Us is Next by Karen M. McManus
Someone please explain to me the concept of breathing, because I have no recollection of it after finishing this book. I don't think I took in a single normal breath for the last 25% of the book, which is funny, because I gasped so much you'd have thought I'd pass out from lack of oxygen. … Continue reading One of Us is Next by Karen M. McManus

Into The Crooked Place by Alexandra Christo
If you see someone wandering around looking lost and like they're looking for something (probably their heart), it's most likely me. Because while I was all consumed into reading this book, someone stole my heart and ran away with it and NOW I CAN'T FOR THE LIFE OF ME FIND IT. (I KNOW IT WAS … Continue reading Into The Crooked Place by Alexandra Christo
House of Salt and Sorrows by Erin A. Craig
So, I had no idea when I jumped into this book that it would be a ghost story type of thing 🙊 Not that I'm complaining!! I actually really loved how it was a chilling, mystery type of fantasy novel. Definitely perfect for this time of the year! And a retelling of the 12 dancing … Continue reading House of Salt and Sorrows by Erin A. Craig
