Book List: Books for Dog Lovers
Dog is man’s best friend, or so they say. I’m more of a cat person myself, but I still love dogs. I’m usually wary of reading books with dogs because the dog always seems to die and I can’t handle it. So here are some books with our furry friends where the dog doesn’t die.…… Continue reading Book List: Books for Dog Lovers
Book Review: Defy the Night by Brigid Kemmerer (Bloomsbury)
A couple months ago I ordered a box from “Now in Books” and received a beautiful hardcover of Defy the Night by Brigid Kemmerer. Last year, I read Brigid Kemmerer’s Cursebreakers series and loved it, so I was very excited to read this one. (You can read my review here of that series).

Book Review: Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz (Simon & Schuester)
Wow that’s a long title. I didn’t really notice how long it was until I was typing on bookstagram to everyone asking what my current read was.

Benjamin…… Continue reading Book Review: Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz (Simon & Schuester)

Book Lists: Rumpelstiltskin Retellings
Have I ever mentioned how much I love fairytale retellings? Rumpelstiltskin is a common fairytale but perhaps not so much a common retelling.

Book Review: The Bone Spindle by Leslie Vedder (Razorbill)
I am such a sucker for fairy-tale retellings. I want my hands on all of them–every fairy tale and legend with every twist on it imaginable. Maybe it’s my lifelong love of royalty or my desire to live in a fantasy world or the fact I grew up on Disney. Whatever the case, I knew…… Continue reading Book Review: The Bone Spindle by Leslie Vedder (Razorbill)
