My Top Ten Reads of 2020
Let’s face it, 2020 has been a TERRIBLE year, but books always make everything better. The only highlight of this year is that the quarantine allowed me to read more and gave me more time to start a book blog and a bookstagram. It has been an amazing journey, but like everyone else I’m hoping that 2021 goes a little bit better. This is a list of books that helped me get through this crazy year, I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. Educated by Tara Westover Wow if you have not read this book, then you need to use the gift cards you got for Christmas…
Sequels Better than the First
As a crazy series reader, I have seen it all. A sequel that doesn’t match the amazingness of the first. An ending that broke my soul in the best way or an ending that made me question why I read the series at all. However, series are such a complicated and amazing journey that authors take readers on, so sometimes the first of a series falls short on action as opposed to the rest of the series. Here is a list of sequels that I liked more than the first book. New Moon (Book 2 of the Twilight series) by Stephanie Meyer So I am a Team Jacob fan through…
Some of My Favorite Book Boyfriends
As a book lover, one of the main things I find is that with each book I develop a new fictional relationship with a certain character and I wish they were real. My husband is great, but there is just something about a boy from a book that is just a little better. Here are some of my recent book loves, but trust me, there are many more! Wraith from Kingdom of the Wicked by Kerri Maniscalco OH THIS BOY IS YUMMY! He is sarcastic, evil, hilarious, and so dark. He is a mystery wrapped in a very handsome package that I can’t wait to unwrap in the next book.…

My Top 5 Reads of October
I only read 11 books this month, but I’m okay with it. I mean I could have read more books, but it was my favorite month of the year so I had a lot of fun activities to do as well as read. I enjoyed all of the books I read in October, but these five were definitely books that I will always remember! Illuminae by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman Oh this book was wonderful! I really enjoyed it so much more than I thought I was going to. The book was written through a collection of emails, instant messages, and classified documents so it was a little bit…
Crush Review
Summary: In the sequel of the Crave series, we arrive back to Katmere Academy and everything has changed. She is not a human, she is the only gargoyle in existence and no one has seen one in over 1,000 years. Grace thought she had it all figured out. Boy, was she wrong. My Thoughts: “HOLY CRAP!” These are words I shouted when I was done with this book. (It was also a lot of cursing, but I won’t type that.) I mean I feel like whiplash has occurred many times throughout this book, that I have a headache. I will admit that I was very very very wrong about this…
