Despite it taking me literally forever to read this book, I did really enjoy it. This book was published in November 2022 and I am finally reviewing it in April 2023 after taking far too long to finish it. I have no excuse. Despite enjoying it, it didn’t grip me and prevent me from putting […]
Genre: Friendship
Girls With Rebel Souls (Girls With Sharp Sticks #3) by Suzanne Young
Since this is the third book in a series I cannot talk about this book without spoilers. I am obsessed with this book series. I listened to the whole thing on audio, and I absolutely love it. The first book is so subversive. The second book makes you want to cheer. However this third book… […]
The Scandalous Sisterhood of Prickwillow Place by Julie Berry
I really enjoyed this book. It was so much fun! The seven protagonists were each clearly defined. Each girl had an identifying adjective before their name to make it easier to remember who was who, and the book opens with why they were sent to the school in the first place. Topping this off with […]
To Best the Boys by Mary Weber

I’m not using my usual format to review this book […]
The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness
When I was five or six years old, my older brother convinced me to go on the Haunted House ride with him at the local show. I was pretty scared, and knew my big brother wouldn’t protect me from anything, and didn’t particularly want to go, but I thought if I didn’t do it now […]
