The Wishing Game
(Review #379) 5/5 stars for this Book of the Month, “The Wishing Game,” by Meg Shaffer. It’s contemporary fiction with a tiny bit of romance Despite how magical it feels, there’s no true fantasy element. I loved every bit of it!!!Here’s my thoughts while reading:...
The Book of Gothel
I really didn’t know what to rate this at first because as said on Instagram, the story wasn’t what I had expected based on the cover image. If you like a slow, descriptive story of generations of mothers, daughters, and strong women then this is a great option....
The Girl Who Drank the Moon
(Review #377) This is my first ever completed audiobook!!! I had tried 1-2 in the past but they never stuck. This one was very special because we listened to it in the car on the way to and home from school. My 9 year old rated it a 4.4/5 stars (as did I) and my 8...
Hotel Magnifique
(Review #376) 4.25/5 stars for this YA fantasy standalone with a splash of clean romance on the side. It’s all in Jani’s point of view. I really liked the setting of the book in the magical hotel and the overall premise but I would’ve made a few minor changes. I feel...
DNF- Forestfall
Forestfall is a sequel that starts from Rowan’s point of view. I’ve read a whole separate trilogy between Lakesedge in this series and this one so I don’t remember if Rowan had a PoV in Lakesedge or not. Violeta is stuck in the underworld with Lord Under. She’s...
The Final Gambit
(Review #375) I rated this Jennifer Lynn Barnes book as 4.3/5 stars for this YA mysterious novel So in the beginning of The Final Gambit it’s obvious that Avery picked Jameson. But I don’t know if that’s who I would’ve picked. Will Avery change her mind by the end of...
The Hawthorne Legacy
(Review #374) I rated this sequel a 4.7/5 stars. Another fast paced mystery filled YA novel. I want more romance in the last one!!! This sequel starts off with them thinking Avery’s homeless friend back in her hometown is actually their deceased uncle who “died” 20...
The Inheritance Games
(Review #373) I give this adventurous YA contemporary “mystery/romance” book a 4.7/5 stars. It has a little bit of everything. All written in one point of view, until the epilogue, you go through Avery’s perception of this life changing event. Avery is a junior in...

Hang the Moon
Review #372 ‘Hang the Moon’ by Jeannette Walls for a 3.5/5 stars for me. This historical fiction lacked plot and intrigue for me. It starts with a prologue of when Sallie is 8 years old and almost accidentally gets her younger brother killed when they’re playing on a...
Lakesedge
Review #371 I rated this YA paranormal novel a 4.7/5 stars I read this one in the span of 24 hours. So even though I gobbled it up, it has the potential to be not-memorable. I’m getting the sequel at the library asap. First off, the chapter heading art is so pretty....
DNF -Bend Her
This was a DNF for me but here’s my thoughts for the part I did finish: Well, I’m not sure how I feel yet about the first chapter. Princess Lisane has been kidnapped from her castle but I’m unsure why yet… for ransom? For revenge upon her father for his choices? But...
The Hollow Places
(Review #370) I gave this “contemporary horror?” book a 3.8/5 stars. There wasn’t much wrong with it, it’s just not my taste in genre. It was all written in one point of view and overall was a way I i read with a unique voice. Here’s my thoughts while reading: Carrot,...
Yours Truly
(Review #369) This fake relationship contemporary romance stand-alone received a 4/5 stars for me. It was in two PoV with heavy interior narrative. Here’s my live comments while reading: Briana is a doctor in an ER who deserves the promotion as chief but the newbie...
Sorcery of Thorns
(Review #368) I gave this YA fantasy a perfect 5/5 stars. Elisabeth was amazing. Nathanial was awesome and Silas was perfection. It was all in one point of view in third person past tense. Though it felt like first person which is rare and hard to do. The romance was...
