DISCUSSION: Let's Talk About TBR Jars!

Hello, everyone! I wanted to talk about something today that, if you follow my twitter, you probably knew was coming: TBR jars! I’ve thought about making one before, but I always figured that it wouldn’t work for me, since I read a lot of “time sensitive” things (like ARCs and themed TBRs). Then, it occurred to me—a TBR jar could really help me work on my backlist and stick to my book ban! Let me tell you why I think it...

DISCUSSION: Mid-Year Reading Goal Update!

With the year halfway over, I know I’ve already done an update on my reading stats so far, but I also wanted to talk about our reading goals! I know I’m not the only one who made a list of 2018 reading resolutions (you can read my main goal post here, or my list of 10 resolutions here), so I wanted to update you all on how my resolutions are going, as well as to ask you guys how YOUR...

Discussion: Different Criteria for Different Genres?

Hello, everyone, and welcome to my first ever discussion post! I personally love reading and commenting on the discussions you guys come up with, so I thought I’d start doing one every so often as well. For my first one, though, I wanted to address something that feels really important, specifically with the fall season coming up (we’ll get to the whys of that logic in a moment). My initial question to you is: do you ever find yourself looking for different...

Liebster Award #1

First, huge thank you to Cheeky Booky for nominating me in her post! She actually tagged me earlier this month, but I somehow missed it until recently, and as soon as I realized I hadn't passed it on, I knew I had to right away! I'll be answering the questions she came up with, of course.

We Are Okay — Nina LaCour

Winter break has come, and while everyone else has gone home to see families and significant others for a few weeks, Marin would be perfectly content to stay in her dorm room, alone with her grief, pretending that her life from before doesn't exist anymore. Life is never quite that simple, though, and Mabel is coming to visit, shoving her way into Marin's after. Marin has a lot of skeletons in her closet that need to be faced, but can she handle letting go of her denial long enough to heal - and to move forward with Mabel?

The Roses of May — Dot Hutchison

It's hard enough on the agents when the butterflies start falling apart, but suicides of girls who can't seem to fit back in outside of the Garden are only half of the heartache that Eddison has to face down now. While the girls await their day in court with the Gardener, another killer is at large: the Spring Killer, who kills one teen every spring, and has done so for 17 years without exposing himself. His only marker is the flowers that he leaves around each girl's lifeless body.

The Seafarer’s Kiss — Julia Ember

Ersel's tribe of merpeople has been exiled to the coldest habitable water remaining, far north, and every year, their population dwindles as mermaids' eggs are frozen in their wombs, doomed to infertility. In an act of desperation, the king has enforced a law that, in their nineteenth year, each mermaid must undergo a test of fertility - and the female with the highest likelihood of successful brooding becomes a prized possession, coveted by all of the mermen. To be fertile, and wanted, is the greatest pride any mermaid in their tribe can hold.
