[Skye’s Review]: Star Daughter by Shveta Thakrar
Star Daughter felt unique and different from most books that have been published recently. It showcases how amazing Hindu mythology is, and it has a diverse cast of characters. I love that publishers are publishing diverse books. We need more representation in publishing, and this book is a step in the right direction. It gives […]
[Lisa’s Review:] Set Fire to the Gods (Set Fire to the Gods #1) by Sara Raasch & Kristen Simmons
Gladiator meets the Last Airbender. Sarah Raasch & Kristen Simmon’s Set Fire to the Gods is a solid start into their eponymous new young adult fantasy series, in which gladiators settle wars between their gods in arena fights with elemental magic. The sort of ancient greek slash roman world-building drew me in from the get-go. […]
[Elizabeth’s Review]: Bookish and the Beast by Ashley Poston
This is the third book in Ashley Poston’s Once Upon a Con series, and I was so excited to see that it was a modern retelling of Beauty and the Beast! This book revolves around Rosie Thorne, who is grieving her mother’s death and trying her best to navigate a new reality in her absence. […]
[Elizabeth’s Review]: “Today Tonight Tomorrow” by Rachel Lynn Solomon
To start off, I have to say that this book has become one of my top 3 reads of not only 2020 but pretty much of all time! I read this book in a span of hours and finished it around five in the morning and was so giddy that I could not fall asleep. […]
[Lisa’s Review]: Ever Cursed by Corey Ann Haydu
Every once in a while, we stumble over a book that holds all the promise in the world; cursed princesses, witches, and an impossible task, and yet for some reason, we don’t connect with the story or the characters at all. Unfortunately, this exactly what happened to me with this book. While the idea behind […]
[Skye’s Review]: What I Like About You by Marisa Kanter
What I Like About You is a cute story that will warm all book lovers’ hearts. The main character, Halle, runs her own book blog and has dreams of working in publishing (something we have probably all dreamed of at one point or another). Okay, let’s start off with some of my favorite things about […]
[Lisa’s Review]: Crown of Coral and Pearl by Mara Rutherford
Crown of Coral and Pearl is one of the best fantasy debuts I’ve read in 2019. While it didn’t knock Shelby Mahurin’s Serpent & Dove off my number one spot (if you haven’t read that one yet go read it), it’s a close second. Kiera Cass’ the Selection meets Holly Black’s the Cruel Prince – […]
