BOOK REVIEW – THE PAPER & HEARTS SOCIETY

When The Paper & Hearts Society book was announced by Hachette, I knew that it would be a book that would be a book to really resonate with teens. I put it on my list of most anticipated books of 2019, which you can read here. Lucy Powrie is a big name in the world…

BOOK REVIEW: The Darkest Minds

The wonderful team over at BKMRK sent me a copy of this book to hold a reading thread of over on Twitter. I love doing reading threads, so to do one with a book I'd been thinking of reading for a little while was a great opportunity. I actually really enjoyed this book, and can't wait…

BOOK REVIEW: What If It’s Us

I only put this book down 20 minutes before writing this review. I've never reviewed a book so quickly, but felt like I needed to put everything I felt about this down immediately. Huge thanks to Olivia over at Simon & Schuster for sending me this! Arthur is only in New York for the summer,…

BOOK REVIEW: Leah On The Offbeat

Huge thanks to Penguin for sending me a copy of Leah On The Offbeat, the next book in the Simonverse! While there were parts of this book I enjoyed, there were other bits that were problematic, disappointing and also personally uncomfortable.

BOOK REVIEW: Dear Martin

What a book! I was blown away by the punchiness and shock of this book, which is quite a short read for me at 210 pages. It really goes to show that author Nic Stone knows the best way to write to get a reaction from her readers, and this is proven so well in…
