Oh, hello, spoopy babies. It’s time for another spoopy book review. This time we are talking about The Haunted, the latest release from one of my favorite YA horror authors, Ms. Danielle Vega/Rollins (probably best known for being the author of The Merciless series). This one, like the The Merciless and Survive the Night, is…
Book Review: Two Can Keep a Secret by Karen McManus

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Loved With Under 2000 Ratings on Goodreads
So when I saw the Top Ten Tuesday topic of “Books I Loved With Fewer Than 2000 Ratings on Goodreads”, I knew I probably had at least a few favorites with a low number of ratings. Somehow, I always find myself really loving things that aren’t quite as popular, and also not always understanding the…

YA Reviews: Sky in the Deep by Adrienne Young & There’s Someone Inside Your House by Stephanie Perkins
Today I’m going to be talking about a super hyped YA novel just released in May of this year, in addition to a fun YA slasher (that’s right, I used fun and slasher together) by Stephanie Perkins, author of the popular Anna and the French Kiss series.

Mini Reviews: A Graveyard Visible, All the Little Lights, Unbury Carol, & More!
It’s time for some mini book reviews! These aren’t as long and deeply detailed as some of my full-length reviews where I basically just rave (orrr sometimes rant), but I still have things to say! Let’s think of these as the puppy version of reviews whereas the individuals are the full grown dogs. I don’t…
Book Review: The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert

Much like the main character of this book, actually. The Hazel Wood is a contemporary fantasy novel by Melissa Albert…
March OwlCrate Unboxing: Across the Galaxy
Another month of OwlCrate has come and gone and I’m so excited to share this one with y’all! I mean seriously *SO* excited. If you’re familiar with OwlCrate or my general love for OwlCrate, then you my already know that I think they knock it out of the park pretty much every time. In every…

January’s theme was Fearsome Fairytales, focusing on items inspired less by specific YA books and more on items inspired by classic fairytales we all know and love, like Rapunzel and Little Red Riding Hood. As more evidence that basically everyone loves fairytales, this box sold out…
