Wow, what a wild ride!! I honestly didn’t know much about this book going in. Ryan La Sala has been at YALLfest a couple of times and will be back again this year, and I’ve had at least one of his books on my TBR for a while. I don’t even remember how this one popped up on my radar, but whatever drew my attention was enough to make me go request it from Libby immediately. I actually loved going […]
Disclaimer: I don’t usually swear in my reviews, but there’s some colorful language in this one. Welp, there’s a reason this took me three whole years to pick up. I just want to say: I despise when a series is “finished” and the author writes another book for it years down the road. They are always, always terrible, in my opinion. I cannot think of one single series where I haven’t hated it. (*side eyeing you, Tahereh Mafi*) To me […]
WHY did I wait so long to read this?! This book was awesome! It’s been on my TBR for years, and it even popped up in my 5 star predictions one year. And I just…never read it. I suck, clearly. Because WOW this book took me by surprise! The concept is so awesome and entirely unique. Every twelve years this mysterious “Forgetting” comes around and takes away everyone’s memories? So. Cool. And they carry around books with their memories to […]
Wow. I don’t really know what I expected going in. I saw Cait’s (@paperfury) review where she said “this book softly held my hand, lead me to the edge of a cliff, and then shoved me straight on off” and went and bought it instantly. I didn’t even really know what genre it was – the synopsis is very vague, so I thought it was a contemporary pushing thriller with maybe some possible paranormal elements. What I got was NOTHING […]
You are made of dreams and this world is not for you. Okay, so I loved the Raven Boys series, and Ronan was my FAVORITE character out of the whole series. So imagine my elation when I found out that he had his own series coming out!!!!! I was kinda worried going in that this wouldn’t amount to the very tall pedestal of hype that I had raised it on in my head, but IT DID. OH, it did. RONAN […]
Donated by an anonymous benefactor, for all the crooked saints. I had been looking forward to this book ALL. YEAR. I was sure I’d love it because it sounded so interesting, but I was also worried for two reasons: The hype. I tend to be the black sheep on over-hyped books Maggie’s writing is very hit-or-miss for me. I loved the Raven Boys and Scorpio Races, and Shiver was okay, but I didn’t like the 2nd or 3rd Wolves of Mercy […]
