Review: The Art of Lainey – Paula Stokes

Review: The Art of Lainey R..

The Art of Lainey is one of those books that all of a sudden blew up in the reading/blogging world. I had heard of the book and thought it sounded cute but I was in no real rush to read it. And then everyone started talking about it and my curiosity grew. Then I saw one more review for it and that pushed me over the edge and I immediately bought it. And I must say it is worth all the hype. It was the perfect summer, adorable story with character growth and interesting characters. The book is about Lainey, […]

Review: The Book Thief –..

I’ve wanted to read The Book Thief for a while but I was pretty scared of it. I mean everyone seems to love this book. Really, really love this book. So I was very nervous. I bought it back in 2013 and basically it just sat on my Kindle untouched. That’s until Rachel picked it for my May Epic Rec read and I can now thank her for that. Was it my favorite book? No. But it was a really powerful, truthful book about a really bad part of history. There were a lot of pages and some slow moments, […]

Review: Dorothy Must Die ̵..

I have basically had this book on my radar since it was announced last year and had it preordered since the October before it came out. I was a little excited about the potential on a twisty, dark version of The Wizard of Oz. Both Oz movies are two of my favorite movies from childhood so I was curious how a newish version would go. Would it change everything I knew and make it unfamiliar? Would it ruin a classic story and leave me feeling disappointed? Or would it be one of those stories that creates something new out of […]

Review: Rebel – Amy Tint..

For the longest time, the trend in YA seemed to be the trilogy. Every single series seemed to be composed of three separate books to tell the story. But lately, there seems to be a new trend, the duology. The trilogy exists still, obviously, but it seems more and more authors are leaning towards this format of two books and I can’t say I mind it. Why am I starting this review with this tidbit? Well because Rebel is the conclusion of a duology and I think Tintera nailed it by going this route. Rebel picks up right where Reboot […]
