I feel like it's been a while since I've shared my TBR with you all. This year I've been focusing on rereading favorites, reading classics, going through favorite author's catalogs, or clearing my TBR. I think I'm making great progress on that front with a fair mix of new books coming in as well, so… Continue reading Mid-May TBR

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
Two Mini Reviews
A Beautiful Poison, Lydia Kang Over the past month, I've been reading a lot of Kang's work. I love how she takes us back in history, giving us a mystery with strong female characters. The trio of friends each has secrets; they have spent years apart and are different from the children they once were.… Continue reading Two Mini Reviews

Two Mini Reviews
(My two favorite colors meshed together? Yes please, this cover is lovely.) An Absolutely Remarkable Thing, Hank Green I confess this isn't much of a review.

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
