Elementary school media specialist by day//crossfitting book reviewer by night
2020 has been a year of conversations. It has been a year of learning, and in many ways, unlearning. We retaught ourselves and our children to wash our hands, cover our mouths when we cough or sneeze, and to treat everyone equally. Some of the toughest conversations this year have revolved around race and diversity.... Continue Reading →
Blackbird Vol I by Sam Humphries, Jen Bartel (Artist), Triona Farrell (Colourist) This graphic novel was recommended by Brewsandbooks on youtube. Go check out their video here! Am I becoming a graphic novel stan? Is that what's been happening slowly over the past two years? I think it's a genre I can get on board with. I just want... Continue Reading →
The Help by Kathryn Stockett I've had this book on my shelves for a while, and had refrained from watching the movie. I knew how iconic the film was, and wanted to make sure I read the book before diving in to the pie drama. Yes, sadly I knew about the pie before reading a... Continue Reading →
Hello friends! I've been taking a little break from reading. It has taken all of my concentration and energy just to get through work every day. But I'm finally turning a corner and ready to return to my bookish life (not that I ever truly left...since I'm a librarian, but I digress)! I purchased all... Continue Reading →
Beach Readby Emily Henry I have been stalling on writing this review for days. I just don't know where to start. Beach Read was described as a rom-com, but as reviews began circulating, it was clear that this book had more depth than the typical, easy, breezy romantic comedy. Gus and January write complete opposite... Continue Reading →
Storm and Furyby Jennifer L. Armentrout I had previously read Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout, and rather enjoyed myself. So when I saw she had a new series coming out, and the first book was on Netgalley, I pounced to snag a copy. I wish I hadn't waited so long to read this, but because... Continue Reading →
Dark Skiesby Danielle L. Jensen Dark Skies is the second novel in the Dark Shores series. If you haven't seen my review of Dark Shores you can check it out here! I absolutely adored the first book in this series, and listened to it on audio book. So far, Dark Shores is my favorite book... Continue Reading →
Dark Shoresby Danielle L. Jensen Author Danielle L. Jensen has been incredibly active on Instagram lately, as most of us have been during these stay at home orders. It was because of her posts on IG that I decided to take a more in depth look into her books. And what would you know, I... Continue Reading →
Sorcery of Thornsby Margaret Rogerson This is another book that I really missed out on. I had this Netgalley ARC months before it was released, and subsequently exploded onto the book community. I think I had been recommended this book more than any other in recent memory, and was very nervous going into this story... Continue Reading →
On The Corner of Love and Hateby Nina Bocci Thank you to Netgalley for this ARC. Apologies for the long overdue review... You guys. I was told A Curse So Dark and Lonely was a slow burn romance. No, no, no, no. On The Corner of Love and Hate is the slowest burn of all... Continue Reading →
