The Unmaking of June Farrow

by Adrienne Young Congratulations to this now-New-York-Times-and-USA-Today-best-selling book! I went into this book knowing only that it was Adrienne Young’s second adult novel and being pretty sure it was the book she did all that flower farm research for, and that was about it. If you want to know more, you can find the officialContinue reading “The Unmaking of June Farrow”

Bring Me Your Midnight

by Rachel Griffin I don’t know how this is my third Rachel Griffin book, and yet I’m still surprised with the impact it has on me. Her work is somehow both light and heavy, both simple and complex, both short yet leaving a long impact. But here I am, surprised that Bring Me Your MidnightContinue reading “Bring Me Your Midnight”

Painted Devils

by Margaret Owen I was finally able to attend my first “big book event”, and I got to walk away with my FIRST BOUND MANUSCRIPT! And it’s the sequel to one of my favorite YA books of 2021! I can’t even begin to describe how excited and blessed I felt. Did I mention that IContinue reading “Painted Devils”

Yellowface

by R. F. Kuang Let me start off by saying how much I appreciate this ARC provided by HarperCollins UK! [Also, this design is fantastic – front and back!] This book has multiple genres, one of which is suspense, and I can’t tell you how much adding the tangible action of needing to flip pagesContinue reading “Yellowface”

Tell Me What Really Happened

by Chelsea Sedoti A big thank you to Sourcebooks Fire over on NetGalley for approving my request for an eARC! I’m trying to branch out more this year in genres, and Tell Me What Really Happened is perfect for that goal! I was so excited when I got approved, and I consumed this quickly andContinue reading “Tell Me What Really Happened”

Godkiller

by Hannah Kaner Thank you so much, HarperCollins UK and Harper Voyager, for the gifted eARC! I was so ecstatic to receive it! Now, I just need to get better at remembering that books like Godkiller take me longer to read than most YA books I pick up. We learn and improve for next time!Continue reading “Godkiller”

The Whispering Dark

by Kelly Andrew First of all, a big thank you to Scholastic Press for giving me my first Edelweiss e-ARC request approval!  I’m so, so excited for this book, and my little kid heart is so happy that my first Edelweiss approval came from Scholastic! [Those Scholastic Book Fairs, anyone?  Talk about little kid bookContinue reading “The Whispering Dark”

Ace of Spades

by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé I’ve been on a kick of Illumicrate monthly books lately, so I thought I’d give a “Debut Box” book a shot! I’ve been drawn to dark academia reads lately, and I’ve recently learned that a few books I’ve enjoyed are considered thrillers, so this being described by Illumicrate as a dark academiaContinue reading “Ace of Spades”

Chain of Iron

Chain of Iron. For those of you who have been following me for roughly the last year, you’re likely familiar with my feelings on Chain of Gold – and how badly I have been resisting a reread until closer to the Chain of Iron release date, because my TBR list is much too long forContinue reading “Chain of Iron”

Namesake

by Adrienne Young I’ll start this review off by saying that I was given an eARC by NetGalley for a review. Thank you, NetGalley and Wednesday Books, for the ARC! That said, they didn’t give me a copy for a guarantee of a good review, so my opinion here is entirely my own. Onto theContinue reading “Namesake”
