Rating: 9/10 Genre: Dystopian Fiction Spoiler Warning for The Hunger Games Triolgy and The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes This book was a wild ride. The plot itself was actually so unexpected. Because of what we already see about the Quarter Quell, I thought I knew the rough outline of the plot. I did not,Continue reading “Book Review: Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins”

Book Review: Medici Heist by Caitlin Schneiderhan
Rating: 10/10 From the beginning of the book, it’s clear that none of the main characters are saints, but in the world of 16th century Florence, thieves are far from the worst the city has to offer. For Sara and Rosa, grifting is the family business. For Dominic, conning is survival, and Khalid’s involvement inContinue reading “Book Review: Medici Heist by Caitlin Schneiderhan”
Book Review: Here the Whole Time by Vitor Martins
Rating: 7.75/10 This book was honestly pretty sweet. I didn’t find it to be, like, out of this world spectacular, but it was pretty good. A story about a boy with body weight issues and a crush on his neighbor, Felix’s journey to self-acceptance is realistic and relatable. The book includes a beautiful mother-son relationship,Continue reading “Book Review: Here the Whole Time by Vitor Martins”
Book Review: The Ivies by Alexa Donne
Rating: 8.5/10 Honestly, this book reminded me a little too much of my school. It’s pretty much an exaggeration of uber-competitive crazy town high schools. It’s a story about the Ivies, a clique of girls who work together to get into their Ivy- taking down their competition. What would you do to make your dreamsContinue reading “Book Review: The Ivies by Alexa Donne”

Best Alternate Universe: Red White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston Just- I love this world. I would kill to live in this world. I am devastated that 2020 did not go like this. Best Fandom: All For The Game by Nora Sakavic This fandom is just honestly really great. It’s very niche, and thereContinue reading “Superlatives”
Book Review: People Like Us by Dana Mele
Rating: 9/10 This book really kept me on my toes. I couldn’t put it down. A murder mystery at an all-girls private boarding school, the twists and turns in the story are shocking. The book constantly keeps you guessing, wondering who did it and just what is going on. You know the narrator is keepingContinue reading “Book Review: People Like Us by Dana Mele”

Rant: Red White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston
SPOILER ALERT!!!! Ok, so I’m rereading this book right now, and I am just- wow, I am just dying over here. God, I’m such a sap. First of all, the emails. Oh my god the emails. It’s the most romantic thing ever, writing love letters to each other via email and quoting famous love lettersContinue reading “Rant: Red White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston”

“Should I tell you that when we’re apart, your body comes back to me in dreams? That when I sleep, I see you, the dip of your waist, the freckle above your hip, and when I wake up in the morning, it feels like I’ve just been with you, the phantom touch of your handContinue reading “Quote of the Day”
