If there’s a word I always connect with Erin A. Craig’s novels it’s atmospheric. She does such an amazing job of pulling the reader into the setting and making it as real for them as possible. A Land So Wide is a masterpiece of the wild frontier. Before going into everything I loved about the […]
After finishing this novel, I looked up the background info for the novel. Specifically, what genre is this classified under which depends on what source is looked up. On the publisher website it’s “literary fiction,” the copyright page classifies this as “erotic” and “romance” fiction, and Goodreads has it listed as “romance,” “fiction,” and “contemporary.” […]
I laughed so much while reading this book. Such a fun and adventurous story of a retelling of a Grimm Fairy Tale story. Melilot is such a typical middle child personality that it just adds to the humor when she’s annoyed by her sisters, mother, and the situation she’s in. The growth that Melilot goes […]
The world-building, the characters, even the romance was all excellent. I couldn’t get enough of this book and only sleep kept me from it. I absolutely found the entire world that Varela created was so fascinating. It was definitely a bit creepy thinking about AI taking over (a nightmare of mine). The tension between humans […]
I really enjoyed the book up to the ending. It was filled with enjoyable dark humor and a great message. But I would’ve liked to have a bit more closure in the novel. I loved how all the women came together to help each other. Was it a little outlandish? Yes, of course, you’ll definitely […]

Sometimes we want more books in a series but don’t necessarily need them, having the original series stand on it’s own is enough. The original Hunger Games trilogy is such a series. The first three books were so great and poignant that adding more just takes away from the original series. To start off, I […]
I actually found my first review of this back in the early days of this blog and oh boy, the cringe! Please don’t go and read it, I am begging you. I do still agree with my past self that this book was amazing and perfect! Such a great murder mystery with diverse and fully-fleshed […]
This book is like a big bear hug you need on a day you’re feeling down about yourself! So adorable, I couldn’t not love it. I don’t usually read middle grade books but when I read the description for this, I knew I had to read it. It’s definitely age appropriate for middle grade, so […]
