Review: Vassa in the Night

This book is my Book club's August read. I first saw this book last year before it was to release and I remember wanting to read it. I thought it sounded really intriguing and who doesn't like a good YA Fantasy Retelling? Vassa in the Night by Sarah Porter In the enchanted kingdom of Brooklyn,...

Waiting on Wednesday: Hunting Prince Dracula

I cannot wait for this book! I received an ARC of Stalking Jack the Ripper last summer when my bookish bestie picked one up for me from a Barnes and Noble event. I loved it so much and I know I'm going to LOVE Hunting Prince Dracula. I think that the concepts of these books are so much...

Review: Heart of Mist

Wow. That's what I have to say about this adventurous YA Fantasy. I received an eARC of Heart of Mist directly from Helen a few months ago in exchange for an honest review. After reading the first page I knew it would be a book that I would enjoy. I not only enjoyed it but this...

I was invited to read this as a buddy read with @thriftedition who I met through Instagram.

This was a perfect feel good edition to that "Read" pile and I definitely plan...

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...
