[Diana’s Review]: Some Mistakes Were Made by Kristin Dwyer
Well, damn. I was not ready for how angsty and angry and heartbreakingly sad this book is. “I have to be careful because memories are like rain. A harmless drop here and there falling against my mind, then suddenly, I’m standing beneath a flood.” Unfortunately, I didn’t end up loving SMWM as I hoped. This […]
[ Malia’s Review ]: Hunt the Stars (Starlight’s Shadow #1) by Jessie Mihalik
I received this book for free from Publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. Where do I even begin with Hunt the Stars? I was instantly a fan of Jessie’s Consortium Rebellion series. I don’t usually gravitate towards sci-fi romance […]
[Elizabeth’s Review]: Nick and Noel’s Christmas Playlist by Codi Hall
I love the warm feeling that the holidays bring. Seeing that this book would revolve around Christmas, I knew it was a must read and I was excited to read about these best friends. Nick and Noel embodied the warm feeling of love and comfort that every Hallmark Christmas movie captures. Their dialogue and complete […]
[Emily’s Review] Under the Whispering Door by T.J. Klune
From TJ Klune, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The House in the Cerulean Sea, comes Under the Whispering Door, a new contemporary fantasy about a ghost who refuses to cross over and the ferryman he falls in love with.
When a reaper comes to collect Wallace Price from his own funeral, Wallace suspects he really might be dead.
Instead of leading him directly to the afterlife, the reaper takes him to a small village. On the outskirts, off the path through the woods, tucked between mountains, is a particular tea shop, run by a man named Hugo. Hugo is the tea shop’s owner to locals and the ferryman to souls who need to cross over.
But Wallace isn’t ready to abandon the life he barely lived. With Hugo’s help he finally starts to learn about all the things he missed in life.
When the Manager, a curious and powerful being, arrives at the tea shop and gives Wallace one week to cross over, Wallace sets about living a lifetime in seven days.
By turns heartwarming and heartbreaking, this absorbing tale of grief and hope is told with TJ Klune’s signature warmth, humor, and extraordinary empathy.
[Asis’ Review] The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater
“Have you heard of the legends of sleeping kings? The legends that heroes like Llewellyn and Glendower and Arthur aren’t really dead, but are instead sleeping in tombs, waiting to be woken?” The story is about a group of four boys (and a girl… eventually) that’s looking for the body of old Welsh King Glendower, […]
[Asis’ Review] Wonderstruck by Brian Selznick
I can’t say enough about this book. And let me tell you now, I have absolutely nothing bad to say about it. The format was so completely unique and it hooked me in immediately. The characters were so sweet and interesting, and seeing their relationships develop just like seeing them grow individually was simply delightful. […]
[Rachel’s Review]: Would Like to Meet by Rachel Winters
Excuse me while I cry at how cute this whole book was! Well, actually it was a complete disaster that gave me secondhand embarrassment, but in the best possible way. This book took all the best rom-com tropes and mixed them all together in one hilarious and devastating love story. Evie Summers is a slightly […]
