Winter Glass Blog Tour & Review!!

I'm so excited to be a part of this blog tour: as I was a member of the #SpindleSquad, I hold a special place in my heart for Lexa's books. I loved Spindle Fire, so I knew I would love Winter Glass. Though it didn't end how I would have liked...but that's a big spoiler …

Happy Easter – Rabbit, Rabbit, RABBIT!!

Hey all you! I am so happy to see the response from the post about Megan. I wanted to leave all your comments there and untouched because the post isn't about me, it's about Megan and how wonderful she was. So thank you all for the outpouring of love. I hope she knew we all …

To Megan…A Dedication

I normally don't do posts like this...I have lots of book reviews to write and the rest of my ALAMW trip to tell...but I felt it necessary to share with you a person that was taken too soon. A person that was a good friend and that I will miss dearly. Her name was Megan. …

ALAMW 2018 – Part II (The Con)

So I know I've been crazy busy lately - if you aren't on Twitter then you don't know I was in a panicked flurry, trying to get all my books put away. They were mostly in stacks all over the house, but my mom was getting a refinance and I had to clean them up. …

Discussion: Expectations vs. Reality // Can Hype Ruin a Book?

This post talks about something dear to my heart – overhype.
It’s something that drives me crazy bc there are so many books that don’t get the recognition they deserve! 😔

Write Through the Night

A couple of weeks ago, I was talking with Teacher of YA (check out her blog it’s amazing) about how Select by Marit Weisenberg didn’t seem to get a lot of hype either before or after its release. Instead, it just sort of slid under the radar, despite it being a YA book that I think a lot of people would genuinely enjoy (even you, maybe! read the review here!).  that got me thinking. Had the book been super hyped up before i read it, would I have given it as high of a review?

Hence the title of this post, and hopefully the content, also.
