Ready Player One is a pretty popular (okay, that’s the understatement of the year—it’s hugely popular) dystopian sci-fi novel by Ernest Cline. The book is set in the year 2045, in a world in which many of the problems we are already starting to see today have come to a head—overcrowding/overpopulation, poverty, food shortages, gas…
December OwlCrate Unboxing
Now that it’s time for the January OwlCrates to get sent out, I figured it’s high time I go ahead and share my December unboxing, for any of you who are looking for some cute bookish merch or are just curious about what was in the box for the month of December! The theme for…
November OwlCrate Unboxing & Review
Breaking news from the month of November—I managed not to see ANY spoilers for November’s OwlCrate before mine arrived!!! As a result, I was completely surprised by all the contents of the OwlCrate, including the particular item that was right on top and caught me totally off guard—in the best way. If you’re wondering what…
Book Review: Spellbook of the Lost & Found by Moira Fowley-Doyle
I usually try to be at least somewhat eloquent and, at the very least, coherent in my book reviews, but this book just made me want to yell OH MY GOD EVERYONE READ THIS NOW. Of course, I totally understand that you may want to know a bit more than that, so don’t worry. I…
October OwlCrate Unboxing: Find Me in the Forest
Unboxing time! October’s OwlCrate theme was Find Me In The Forest, and I was so, so excited when they announced it because a.) I love the forest and b.) I love books that take place in the forest. So I knew this one was probably going to be a home run. On top of excitement…
Book Review: Everything Leads to You by Nina LaCour
Everything Leads To You is a YA contemporary by Nina LaCour. I actually recently discovered Nina LaCour when I read her novel We Are Okay (review here, by the way) and fell madly, deeply, and instantly in love with her writing.

Book Review: A Map for Wrecked Girls by Jessica Taylor
Have you ever gotten in a fight with someone while you were in a car together, and then you had to just sit there with them…trapped…unable to go anywhere else and forced to either work through your issues or tear each other’s heads off? This book is basically that feeling, multiplied by about a thousand.…
August Book Haul
So in late June and most of July I went *a tad bit crazy* with book buying, so my August book haul is a smaller one, because, you know, life is all about balance…and because I’d like for my TBR to not fall and crush me to death in my sleep. I don’t ask for…
Book Review: The Hearts We Sold by Emily Lloyd-Jones
The Hearts We Sold, by Emily Lloyd-Jones, was actually the book I received in the August OwlCrate, and with all the deals with demons, supernatural creatures, and otherworldly circumstances, this book was perfect for the August theme of “Something Wicked This Way Comes”. This young adult urban fantasy novel is about Dee Moreno, a young…
