Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers
I’ve been waiting for months for a book to grab hold of me and not let go—this one was it. It completely swept me up and into its world of politics, history, fantasy, assassination, treason, romance, and mystery. Ismae is handmaiden to Death. She is an assassin, sent to kill those with the marque ofContinue reading “Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers”
Melody Jackson and the House on Lafayette Street by BMB Johnson
I’m going to be totally honest with this, and say that this book was probably one of the hardest books to get through for me. The book itself is about a girl named Melody Jackson who lives on Lafayette Street, and the weird goings-on in the house next door, her parents, and her “friend” Flutter.Continue reading “Melody Jackson and the House on Lafayette Street by BMB Johnson”

Magic Study by Maria V. Snyder
So, I started and finished Magic Study in one night. That alone says SO much about how I feel about the book. There aren’t many books that I get so into that I finish them in one sitting, and I really wasn’t planning on doing it with this book but I fell so very muchContinue reading “Magic Study by Maria V. Snyder”
Coral & Bone by Tiffany Daune
I’m not going to lie—I decided that I wanted to read Coral & Bone for two reasons: mermaids and the super cool cover art. Yes, I know you should never judge a book by its cover. But that doesn’t stop me, does it? This book far exceeded my expectations. I was pleasantly surprised with the story, plot,Continue reading “Coral & Bone by Tiffany Daune”
Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder
I finished this book last weekend and I’ve really been thinking about what exactly I’m going to say about it… my mind is still full of awe and just a complete mess so I’m just going to go for it. Poison Study is without a doubt the BEST book that I’ve read this year. ItContinue reading “Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder”
The Perilous Sea by Sherry Thomas
I finished this book as fast as I could—partly because it was freaking amazing, and partly because I don’t want to read anything during NaNoWriMo (because let’s be real—I would choose reading this book over writing my daily word count). I am so obsessed with this series. It has sucked me in and won’t releaseContinue reading “The Perilous Sea by Sherry Thomas”
The Burning Sky by Sherry Thomas
It’s been a while since I’ve been so wrapped up in a magical/fantasy world. It was a pleasant surprise to crack open The Burning Sky and within several chapters, become completely enamored with the characters, story, and world. Iolanthe Seabourne is the greatest elemental mage of her time—or so she is told, by Prince Titus,Continue reading “The Burning Sky by Sherry Thomas”
Listened to: Eragon by Christopher Paolini
For as long as I can remember, we never listened to music on long car rides. Nope, we were that homeschooled family who listened to YA fiction audiobooks on family vacation. I’m 23 now, and I actually look forward to long car trips…so I can pick out an audiobook. It’s the epitome of multitasking—driving andContinue reading “Listened to: Eragon by Christopher Paolini”
