Wow, just wow! Alliance was a book that I was really excited for, and then it went missing in my TBR. I wish I had read this sooner because Silverlock had me hooked from the first page. Kanruo is on the run. He needs to hide because he’s the last of his kind. When he… Continue reading Alliance, Feyra Silverlock

The Gilded Ones, Namina Forna
Why did I wait so long to read this book?! I bought it in a preorder, and it sat on my TBR shelf for far too long. As this is so well-reviewed, I have little more to contribute to help others decide to read this (which they should.) I always read others’ reviews before writing… Continue reading The Gilded Ones, Namina Forna
Circe, Madeline Miller
As a lover of mythology and lore, Greek mythology tends to be my least favorite. Perhaps it’s because I haven’t found it told in a way that pulls at my insides, until Circe. It’s easy to see why it has almost 30,000 favorable ratings on Amazon. I love to peruse reviews before my own and… Continue reading Circe, Madeline Miller
Dreaming of Flight, Catherine Ryan Hyde
This might be a tricky review to write, as it would be easy to spoil certain aspects of the book. I would recommend not reading reviews before reading this, but you’re here now, so at least read this one. What an emotional book! Stewie is an exceptional boy. He’s faced so much loss in his… Continue reading Dreaming of Flight, Catherine Ryan Hyde

The Impossible Girl, Lydia Kang
(Sorry not sorry that you're stuck reading endless reviews of Kang, as I devour my way through her backlist.) I bought this paperback last year in a mass purchase, and onto the TBR bookshelf, it went. Last week I read Opium and Absinthe in KU and adored Kang's writing style. Then I checked out her… Continue reading The Impossible Girl, Lydia Kang
The Fragile Ordinary, Samantha Young
I honestly don’t know how to review this book. There are pieces in Comet that are pieces in me, and sometimes the lines of what Comet was going through blurred so much with my teenage self that I felt my heart breaking for her repeatedly. Even when her strength was shining through, it was a… Continue reading The Fragile Ordinary, Samantha Young
Hotel Magnifique, Emily J. Taylor
The hardcover for this skated in at the last minute, and I was worried I wouldn’t get the book done in time for release day. That was a silly worry, as any reader who starts this will find it near impossible to put down. Taylor has drawn the reader in with a magical hotel. This… Continue reading Hotel Magnifique, Emily J. Taylor
The Light Through the Leaves, Glendy Vanderah
You did see me review Glendy's newest book last week. So I am skipping around a bit, but this book is so beautiful, I wanted to share this review with you all. I feel confident that as of today, I can declare this my most favorite read of the year. The book had ups and… Continue reading The Light Through the Leaves, Glendy Vanderah
