Review: Spellbook of the Lost and Found

Exciting, intense, and down right magical is how I would descibe Spellbook of the Lost and Found  by Moïra Fowley-Doyle. It is a book where reality blends with superstition and where friendships form among all things lost. I received an e-ARC of Spellbook of the Lost and Found by Moïra Fowley-Doyly from Penguin First to Read in exchange...

July Wrap-Up

Charlie N. Holmberg Event Recap!

Charlie is one of our local authors here in the Salt Lake City area so of course I went down to support her! She is so quirky and fun with her red hair, 25 pairs of glasses, and a sense of humor that I wish I had! I enjoyed her event and can't wait to...

Soldier Boy Review

Our amazing Indie Bookshop, The King's English, asked us a couple months ago if we'd like to participate in a Skype discussion with Keely Hutton to talk about her debut novel Soldier Boy and we excitedly accepted!

To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before Review

I was invited to read this as a buddy read with @thriftedition who I met through Instagram. I've been hearing lots of good things about this book and have been working on adding more YA Contemporaries to my reading schedule. This was a perfect feel good edition to that "Read" pile and I definitely plan...

Waiting on Wednesday: Crystal Blade

I can't express how excited I am for this book! It's not only written by a local author of mine but it is also the sequel to one of my favorite 2016 reads, Burning Glass (which just released in paperback this week!)!! Kathryn Purdie has written an intense YA Fantasy that's so unique you won't be...

#ARCstravaganza: As You Wish

This cover is so beautiful and I've been seeing it all over the place. Although I have not read The Hundred Lies of Lizzie Lovett, I've heard amazing reviews so I'm sure this one will be right up there with it! I plan on reading both As You Wish and The Hundred Lies of Lizzie Lovett before the...
