This is pretty good, though it took a little bit for me to get into it. It’s the same author as Flunked and Misfits. This is a fractured fairytale based on Disney’s Frozen. It begs the question, what if Anna and Elsa never knew each other? Princess Elsa has always felt like something’s missing, andContinue reading “Conceal, Don’t Feel by Jen Calonita”

This book is so good. It’s the official sequel to Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. You should probably watch the movie to understand this. Sally loves Jack, the pumpkin king, with all her heart, but now that the two are married, she isn’t loving the queenly title that comes with it. So, fed upContinue reading “Long Live the Pumpkin Queen by Shea Ernshaw”

This was pretty good. I mean, I’ve read better, but still pretty good. Vampires can no longer feed on humans whenever they want a snack. Why? Because most of humanity is infected with a virus called CFaD, and it’s deadly to vampires. A vampire named Victor Castel created a synthetic blood substitute called Hema, butContinue reading “Youngblood by Sasha Laurens”

So, I don’t know much about Teen Titans, but Raven seems cool. (Also this is a graphic novel, so, extra cool.) Seventeen-year-old Raven and her foster mom were in a horrific car crash, leaving Raven’s mother dead, and Raven with no memories of who she is. Raven moves in with her foster moms’ sister andContinue reading “Teen Titans: Raven by Kami Garcia”

October 20th is the National Day of Writing (I’m over here trying to figure out why it’s not called ‘National Writing Day’)! If you’re an author (like me!) hopefully this makes you happy! Happy National Day of Writing! P.S. Sorry for the short post!

Harley Quinn is my favorite supervillain/anti-hero. And this may be one of my favorite YA books. Harleen can not wait to go to college and get away from her abusive dad. But then she sees how women are treated in STEM. It’s horrible. Then she’s assaulted. So she and her friend Bernice start a group.Continue reading “Harley Quinn: Reckoning by Rachael Allen”

This is amazing! The same author also wrote the Valkyrie series and the Pegasus series, both of which are super great. Riley and her cousin Alfie hate each other. To make matters worse, they’re stuck on a boat with Alfie’s mom and Riley’s dad. But then their boat is capsized by a leviathan! Riley andContinue reading “Escape From Atlantis by Kate O’Hearn”

I love this! It’s a graphic novel. Morgan lives on an island with her mom and little brother. But she has a secret. She can’t wait to get away. And that she likes girls. One day, a mysterious girl saves Morgan from drowning. Morgan, thinking it’s a near-death hallucination, kisses the girl. The next day,Continue reading “The Girl From The Sea by Molly Knox Ostertag”

Hey everyone! Guess what. It’s Banned Books Week! This event, that celebrates everyone’s right to read, stretches from September 18th to September 24th. The theme this year is… “Books unite us. Censorship divides us.” You might not know, but probably anyone who reads books, has probably read at least one banned book. Probably more. OverContinue reading “Banned Books Week”

First off, I got some major Maze Runner and Hunger Games vibes. Set in the future, in a dystopian version of Chicago, there are five factions: Amity, who value kindness above all else; Candor, who are always truthful; Erudite, who constantly seek knowledge; Abnegation, who are selfless to a fault; and Dauntless, who are constantlyContinue reading “Divergent by Veronica Roth”
