The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue – Mackenzi Lee

I’m very sorry to direct you here instead of posting this on Goodreads, but GR has recently taken to cracking down heavily on any negative reviews that specifically mention the author’s behavior. Alas, I’m only posting this on my own personal blog. update: june 18th, 2019 I loved The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue a lot when it came out. I hadn’t seen much bi rep in books at that time, and as a bi woman, it felt good to...

All the Crooked Saints – Maggie Stiefvater (ARC Review)

“Bicho Raro was a place of strange miracles.” I am so grateful to have been given an ARC of this by my friend Julie! Thank you again! ❤ The synopsis for this book sounded so good, and the cover is gorgeous, and there are owls, and I had to have it. I was not disappointed in the slightest. ✘ PLOT In the desert of Colorado, there lives a family – the Sorias, who have been blessed with a generational ability to perform miracles. These...

The Bone Season – Samantha Shannon

“This was what my spirit longed to do, to wander in strange lands. It couldn’t stand being trapped in one body all the time. It had wanderlust.” This was the Life & Lit book of the month for July, and while I honestly didn’t know what to expect and wasn’t feeling particularly enthusiastic about starting this series, I was shocked by how much I loved this book! This was more of a 4.5 star read for me, but I didn’t feel good...

They Both Die at the End – Adam Silvera (ARC Review)

“Maybe it’s better to have gotten it right and been happy for one day instead of living a lifetime of wrongs.” This was my first ever Adam Silvera book, and I’d been warned by so many people to prepare myself for ALL OF THE FEELS, but nobody could have really made me understand just how fast and hard I would fall in love with Adam’s writing voice. This book made him an auto-buy author literally by the 25% mark, and...

The “I Messed Up” Book Tag

First and foremost, my inner tag klepto has once more surfaced; alas, I was not tagged in this one. That said, the person who I’m stealing borrowing it from is Steph @ Stephanie’s Novel Fiction, and her post totally says anyone can tag themselves, so here we are! A character appearance that you misread or imagined differently: Bill Weasley! I pictured him as being similar to his siblings in that sort of casual, almost slightly “homely” look, if that makes sense?...
