I am definitely no audiobook connoisseur, but over the past year, I've listened to more audiobooks than I've ever listened to in my life. (Okay, that's still not many.) They've mostly been Harry Potter audiobooks, since I'm trying to re-read the series with my ears, but then I decided to take a chance on the Aurora Rising audiobook because someone said it was amazing. Best. Decision. Ever. I know I've already provided you a review of Aurora Rising ...

ARC REVIEW: Aurora Rising
I received a copy of this book via NetGalley (thank you!) in exchange for my honest review. Let me start off by saying that I'd never read an Amie Kaufman of Jay Kristoff book until I requested this one off of NetGalley. (Thank you SO MUCH for letting me review this book, by the way!) I'd heard so much about them, and how they were a great writing duo, but I'd just never took action to pick up one of their books. (It was my loss, really.) So I requested this, ...

ARC REVIEW: House of Salt and Sorrows
I received a copy of this book via NetGalley (thank you!) in exchange for my honest review. I've been extremely lucky with most of the books I've been reading this year so far. A lot of them are SUPER good, and this gem was no exception! I knew two things when I requested this book on NetGalley. One, the cover was literally to die for. Two, it was a retelling of the Twelve Dancing Princesses fairytale. I also did not know two things. One, I did not know how the ...

ARC REVIEW: Rayne & Delilah’s Midnite Matinee
I received a copy of this book via NetGalley (thank you!) in exchange for my honest review. Some of my contemporary picks at the end of 2018 were a tad disappointing, so I was beyond relieved when this book – that I decided to take a leap of faith with and request on NetGalley – was a super-fantastic-delightful gem infused with horror and banter and pancakes. Yes, pancakes~ Sometimes small and unspectacular things can be a universe. Where do I begin with ...

Abbreviations/3: Far Far Away + A Different Blue
It's time for a couple of mini reviews. I read Far Far Away and A Different Blue through the majority of February (I finished Blue at the beginning of March). Far Far Away was my Backlist pick for the month of January, but I didn't get to it until February (oops) and A Different Blue was my Backlist pick for February! (The Backlist Project is my own personal journey of reading through the books on my Goodreads TBR that were published before the current year ... so ...

ARC REVIEW: Just for Clicks
I received a copy of this book via NetGalley (thank you!) in exchange for my honest review. This book, guys. It was really good. Just for Clicks is about fraternal twins, Poppy and Claire and the way their mom's fashion and lifestyle blog has molded their lives and how they deal with being internet famous. But this is Claire's story, and Claire's story alone. Claire is unlike her sister in many ways – where Poppy is all about the fashion and internet fame, and ...

ARC REVIEW: Wicked Saints
I received a copy of this book via NetGalley (thank you!) in exchange for my honest review. Okay. So. If you have eyes, you can see that I rated this book 4 stars. (And if I did half stars, this might have been 3.5 stars, but I don't do halfsies, so I digress.) And if you've been following along at all with me on my long, tumultuous trek through this book, you'll know that: A. It took me month to read (maybe not a crazy enough reason, but it felt like several ...

REVIEW: Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban (Audiobook)
This review contains spoilery content for the book and the series! I solemnly swear that I am up to no good. The more I listen to this series, the more I fall deeper in love with it. I read half of the series when I was younger, stopping at book 5, and of course I've seen all of the movies. But revisiting it has to be one of the best decisions I made in 2018, reading-wise. Re-reading via audiobook wasn't my first choice, but I knew I couldn't take on 7 ...

Abbreviations/2: Don’t Fall, Puddle Jumping, & Fall Like Rain
You know, some days you just don’t have enough time for a full-length novel-type review. So here’s some short and sweet mini reviews for you to feast on, and just get the gist of the book and how I felt about it. The theme of this lot of books was: contemporary romance. (All of them, coincidentally, either have the word 'fall' or refer to some type of water...)Two of them didn't really work for me, but one did! Don't Fall This story certainly had the backbone ...
