This is almost a bit of a mini book haul, as I managed to not go too, too crazy this month! Well, with books, anyway. In life, we crossed the crazy bridge and burned it to ashes a long, long time ago. Read on to find out which newbies I added to the collection in…
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. As soon as I finished reading that book, I said to myself, well, okay, now…
September OwlCrate Unboxing
This September’s OwlCrate theme was Mythical Creatures, and they successfully proved that everyone loves mythical creatures when the box completely sold out! I was lucky enough to receive this box for free after winning a free box in OwlCrate’s July Photo Challenge on Instagram! They do it every month and it’s a lot of fun.…
Spooky Book Recommendations: Part Two
Guess what tiiiiime it is!? It’s time for spooky book recommendations, The September Edition!!! As y’all may know already, as far as I’m concerned spoopy season starts in August, so it’s been in full swing for quite some time now. I have been racing around Halloween stores announcing that I’m going to wear every single…
Book Review: My Best Friend’s Exorcism by Grady Hendrix
With the overwhelming success of the Netflix series Stranger Things and the return of Stephen King’s It to theaters with the children’s storyline bumped forward by nearly thirty years, the 80s are having another major moment in horror—and My Best Friend’s Exorcism, by Grady Hendrix, is no exception. This horror novel has been on my…
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…
August OwlCrate Unboxing
It’s OwlCrate unboxing time! Ugh, I just love OwlCrate so much. It’s. Like. Christmas. Except this month Christmas had spoilers. Because I accidentally saw them on Instagram. I saw a picture on my feed of an OwlCrate unboxing like, two days after crates started shipping, and I tried to look away, but things had already…
Spooky Book Recommendations: Part One
Spoopy season is my favorite season and as far as I’m concerned, it starts in August, because that’s when stores start putting out their Halloween decorations awesomeness. The majority of the year, I’m like, jeez, consumerism, slow it down, it’s not time for insert-name-of-holiday-or-season-here yet (you know, when you’ve just finished wrapping your Christmas presents…
