Book Review: Once Upon a Montana Summer by Lisa T. Bergren

Contemporary romance novels are not my usual reading choice, but I make an exception when it comes to Lisa T. Bergren's books. I had the privilege to read an early copy of Once Upon a Montana Summer, and I found myself enjoying this adorable romance set against the gorgeous backdrop of Glacier, Montana. After Adalyn …

Book Review: Adventures with Waffles by Maria Parr

It's obvious why I had to read this book. Adventures with Waffles sounds like the perfect book for a blog about waffles, and it was tons of fun! Trille and his best friend, Lena, are always getting themselves into trouble with their crazy adventures. But Trille doesn't mind the trouble because he loves sharing everything …

Book Review: This Splintered Silence by Kayla Olson

Last year, I was blown away by Kayla Olson's debut novel, The Sandcastle Empire, after having a love-hate relationship with YA dystopian novels. I basically told myself I would read anything she publishes, and so when This Splintered Silence was released in November, I bought myself a copy and prepared to dive into a space station …

Book Review: Sanctuary by Caryn Lix

For a while, this book review consisted of these sentences, exactly like this: "THIS WAS TERRIFyiNG AND CRAZY WHAT A WILD RIDE." And honestly, that sums up Sanctuary by Caryn Lix pretty well. Kenzie has trained her whole life for one thing: to become a guard on a space prison for superpowered teens and uphold …

Top Ten Tuesday: Books by My Favorite Authors that I Need to Read Soon

This week's Top Ten Tuesday prompt is Books By My Favorite Authors That I Still Haven’t Read. Where do I begin? Ha. I have a tendency to find a favorite author and then either procrastinate on reading them or forget they have other books than the one I happened to fall in love. Here are …

Book Review: Brightly Burning by Alexa Donne

Retellings have become more and more popular over the years, and you can pretty much find a new version of any classic story. One trend I've noticed with retellings more recently is to set them in outer space. With the popularity of The Lunar Chronicles, this form of retelling is cropping up more and more. …

Book Review: King’s War by Jill Williamson

If I'm being honest, I hate long books. It's not that I don't like the story or characters, but sometimes books that are over 500 pages can be quite daunting. Plus, they take longer to read, and with soooo many books in the world to read, I have a hard time concentrating on long books. …

Book Review: The Queens of Innis Lear by Tessa Gratton

Despite loving fantasy novels, I haven't read that many. As in, I haven't finished reading that many. YA fantasy, yes. But YA fantasy is usually about 200-300 pages less than adult fantasy and less dense. Thus, I have a hard time sticking to a fantasy novel all the way through. But this year, I've been pushing …

Book Review: Dread Nation by Justina Ireland

As I said in my last book review, I love stories that take two ideas and mash them together and do it well. Thus, altered history is one of my favorite less popular genres. I like asking the "What if?" questions. What if the Axis Powers won World War II? What if knights rode dinosaurs …

Book Review: Keturah by Lisa T. Bergren

I've been a fan of Lisa T. Bergren's books for a long time now, and I never have to worry if her books will keep me interested while also including profound takeaways. Keturah is no exception with its balance of thrilling events and deep moments of truth. When the Banning sisters learn of their father's …
