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 […]
I have never felt the need to go and yell at a fictional family more than I have in this novel! Every time I finish a novel, I go and look at the reviews to see what others say about it (really how different are their thoughts from mine and did we even read the […]
This was an adorable and fun book with a group of LGBTQ+ high schoolers trying to solve a crime. I’m always down for books with queer kids and crime solving! First off, I really love how complex the cast of characters was, and not just in terms of the main characters. The principal (the main […]
First off, I know the summary said that Faolan’s grandfather disguised her as a boy, but I was still expecting the theme of gender or non-conforming gender would have come up. It did in certain aspects with the settlement and the division of boys and girls, but there wasn’t anything in relation to Faolan. Faolan’s […]
First off, I have to thank (heavy on the sarcasm) Hendrix for giving me even more of a reason to hate rats. That scene was a lot, and I don’t think I’ll ever recover. To start off, the story itself was super fascinating, and I do appreciate the note at the beginning as it gave […]
It’s not a gross exaggeration to say I loved every bit of this book! From learning about Isabella as a young girl to her debut to society to the adventure to Vystrana, every page was delightful and at times even funny. I was definitely expecting to come in to a book about a fake/real person. […]
I honestly don’t remember why I first rated this 4 stars when it’s definitely a 5 star read! Maybe having read the first one and then re-reading this just had everything make more sense. As with the first one, I found everything adorable about Aphrodite and Hephaestus! I’m blown away by how R.M. Virtues creates […]
I actually found out about R.M. Virtues Gods of Hunger series because I was looking for a romance where Aphrodite and Hephaestus are actually in love with each other. I found Keep Me Close by R.M. Virtues. I immediately read it and fell in love with Virtues’s writing, characters, everything! I’m now kicking myself for […]
