Having been in isolation for more than 60 days now (weird timing with having a newborn), I'm wanting to get through some of the hundreds of books in my TBR pile that I own instead of getting ARCs off NetGalley. I'm still not reading as much as I could be because I'm so dang tired, … Continue reading Book Review: Red, White & Royal Blue
The world is a crazy place right now, and I'm so happy to have my husband, my dog and my baby boy in insolation with me...as well as books, of course. I highly recommend the whole world just hole up with a book as long as we possibly can to flatten the curve on this … Continue reading Book Review: Meet Me at Midnight
I'm a bit of a cliché. I have always wanted to be an astronaut. Ever since I went to the Ontario Science Centre in grade 5 and did a mission to Mars simulation with my class, I've been fascinated by it. Not only is space itself so incomprehensible to my brain, but the possibility that … Continue reading Book Review: The Gravity of Us
This is the first time I ever had someone from a publishing house get in touch with me about reviewing a book that I had actually already heard about and was excited to read. Obviously, I jumped at the chance. From the synopsis to the beautiful cover for Tweet Cute by Emma Lord (which hits … Continue reading Book Review: Tweet Cute
Happy New Year! And welcome to the first book I completed in 2020. I've been doing this for a year now, and although I still have a long way to go—and will definitely have some growing pains with the baby coming soon—I'm excited to continue this journey. Thank you for reading! The book cover to … Continue reading Book Review: Every Other Weekend
It had been a while since I read a good-old dystopian YA fiction. Books like The Hunger Games series and Kiera Cass's The Selection series are some of my favourite examples of stories that I will keep coming back to, even as I continue into my 30s. I've mentioned before that YA doesn't really only … Continue reading Book Review: The Memory Thief
When I saw that there was a romance novel about Cupid that was doing so well on Wattpad that they were publishing it, I was definitely intrigued. I mean, when that many people already love it, it has to be a good read! So I took a read of Lauren Palphreyman's novel (in stores October … Continue reading Book Review: Cupid’s Match
When I saw this book on NetGalley, and I knew I needed to read it. It was about a girl who travelled abroad to London for a semester in order to try and break out of her shell...which I can relate to on a deep level, having done something similar myself. The publisher was done … Continue reading Book Review: Again, but Better
When I was poking around NetGalley, I was drawn to Starworld by Audrey Coulthurst and Paula Garner (in stores April 16) mostly because of the beautiful cover art. I know you're not supposed to judge, as the saying goes, but as a person who has always been fascinated by space (I always wanted to be … Continue reading Book Review: Starworld
If you've been following along with me so far, you know that I love a good YA novel. Not only do I think that YA authors create amazing worlds and fully developed characters, but the genre often manages to cover some pretty deep topics in a realistic way that I really appreciate—and Jenn Bennett's Serious … Continue reading Book Review: Serious Moonlight
