Hello, I Love You by Katie M. Stout – Review

Hello, I Love You by Katie M. Stout – Review

Hello, I Love You is a YA romance set in Korea that gives us a little peek into KPOP and the world of a Korean superstar. It was cute and fun, but the story also delved a little deeper than a simple fluffy romance because of Grace’s and Jason’s family issues. Ultimately, Hello, I Love You is a story about letting go of past pain and being brave enough to embrace the future.  What I […]

Damsel Distressed by Kelsey Macke – Review

Damsel Distressed by Kelsey Macke – Review

I recently read a review for Damsel Distressed by Mishma over at Chasing Faerytales and it convinced me that I needed to read this book SOON! Well, thank you, Mishma, for introducing me to this book!! I don’t know how it didn’t get more buzz when it came out. (Maybe I missed it? Did I miss it? Because it totally deserves buzz!) But I am incredibly glad that I found it! The synopsis describes the book well, but […]

Daughter of Deep Silence by Carrie Ryan – Review & Giveaway

Daughter of Deep Silence by Carrie Ryan – Review & Giveaway

I honestly didn’t know what to expect with this book. The cover made it almost look like a fantasy to me, but the blurb made it relatively obvious that it wasn’t. I’m not much for suspense, and I didn’t know if this book would venture too far into that territory for me to love it. Still, I was definitely intrigued and I ended up requesting this one through Shelf Awareness and was excited when I […]

Faith in Blogging: How to Stay True to Who You Are Without Rocking the Boat

Faith in Blogging: How to Stay True to Who You Are Without Rocking the Boat

This is the first of a series of discussions that I’m planning based on my experiences at RT 2015. These are thoughts that were inspired by specific panels, or by books from RT, or just by random passing things that happened there. I love that events like this help me to think critically about books, blogging and the publishing world in general! So, today’s topic can be a little touchy. “Faith in Blogging” – just […]

Nowhere But Here by Katie McGarry – Review & Giveaway

Nowhere But Here by Katie McGarry – Review & Giveaway

I don’t know what I expected Nowhere But Here to be exactly, but I do know that it completely exceeded my expectations. This is really the first book I’ve read with the motorcycle club trope, and I didn’t love everything about the club itself, but there were some things that I definitely did love. But, more than that, McGarry had me hooked with this story! I had no idea how many surprises were going to be thrown at […]

Top Ten Books I Want to See on the Screen

Top Ten Books I Want to See on the Screen

Today’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Ten Books I’d Like to See on Screen  There are TONS of books I’d love to see made into movies or TV shows, but to be honest, I don’t watch all the much TV anymore, and I rarely go to the movies. Still, I think I’d make an exception for these! The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer. This series would be amazing as either a movie or TV series. I could […]
