Little Peach by Peggy Kern

Little Peach by Peggy Kern

Heartbreaking, terrifying, and raw.   I wasn’t quite sure what to think about Little Peach before I started. Prostitution is a hard topic to cover, especially in YA, but tough issue books are some of my favorite (it seems having books break my heart is a favorite past time of mine.) so I was definitely anticipating this novel. When I finally read it…it was as much as I thought it’d be–gritty and heartbreaking and…well, haunting, especially for such a quick read that I […]

  OKAY. So. If you’ve been following me for a while, you should know that I used to have a Quote Wall. And by Quote Wall I mean… MA QUOTE WALLLLLL (of 2013) QUOTES. TAPED TO THE WALL. BEAUTIFUL MEANINGFUL QUOTES THAT CHEERED ME UP. I have since moved upstairs so the quote wall no longer exists, but I have so many favorite quotes. Most of my favorite quotes aren’t really cheesy ones like “People who talk behind your back are behind you […]

Under a Painted Sky by Stacey Lee

Under a Painted Sky by Stacey Lee

The Wild West made real. I’ll be honest here, I’m not a huge fan of books set in the Gold Rush era. Don’t ask me why, but I never really adored them. There was just something about the rough and tumble west that never appealed to me–honestly, for historical novels I was always more a fan of England with it’s politics and elegance than America. And then I read Under a Painted Sky. It’s rare to find a story where pretty much all […]

The Storyspinner by Becky Wallace

The Storyspinner by Becky Wallace

A story spun like sugar. And blood. But mainly sugar. (Not really.) GUYS! THIS BOOK! RIGHT HERE! So right from the get-go, The Storyspinner jumped to the top of my TBR. I’m a huge high fantasy fan, and with the phrase Game of Thrones literally in the synopsis, how could I not be excited? I’m a sucker for some good political intrigue. And, you know. Magic, fights, acrobatics, kickass heroines–basically anything that The Storyspinner had, I loved. So evidently I loved this book, but we […]

Shadow Study by Maria V. Snyder

Shadow Study by Maria V. Snyder

Oh my gosh. The Study series. The Study series are one of my absolute favorite series, and I can’t being to tell you how much I adore Valek and Yelena. The thought of a spin off series–with the same main characters–was absolutely one of the best things I ever could’ve imagined. There was no way this book could’ve disappointed. Except it kind of did. It wasn’t bad at all–I loved reading the book, honestly. It just wasn’t as amazing as I’d imagined to […]
