So this year I participated in 2 year-long challenges: The TBR Pile Reading Challenge and the A-Z Book Challenge. Both of which I completed!!! The TBR pile should have been easy, yet as I got new books, those sounded better than the ones I’d already had sitting on my shelves, even though I’d been so… Read more »

This book is one on the current Truman nominees list that my students are reading and voting on this school year. It was one that looked really good to me, and I’d been excited to read for awhile. I was able to get a copy for pretty cheap at the school book fair back in… Read more »
First I have to say thank you to Razorbill Publishing and Netgalley for allowing me to read the e-galley of this title. I have been a fan of Brenna Yovanoff since I read her first novel The Replacement, and then I got to meet her at a Maggie Stiefvater event in my hometown. Maggie had… Read more »
This was the only ARC I got from BEA that I hadn’t read yet, that hadn’t been published yet. All the other ARCs I have left from BEA have already been published. Too busy!! Aack! So I’m behind on those. From now on, all my advanced reviews will be from Netgalley for awhile. But anyway,… Read more »
