All The World's a Stage • What You Always Wanted

What You Always Wanted  is one of the most adorable contemporary young adult novels I've ever read. I feel like there's no way that I'll be able to fully express how enjoyable and well-written this tale was, but I'm going to darn well try! Why? Because everyone needs to get their han…

March 2016 (+ Flights of Fantasy March Linky)

Honestly, March was a month where I mostly spent time at home just hanging out with Macky and our friends. It was, in its way, a time to make up for the month we basically spent apart (since Macky had been in North Carolina for work). And it was, also, just a restorative period of time. Except for…

The Lies We Believe • Walk the Edge (+ Giveaway)

Honestly, I thought Nowhere But Here might have been a fluke. I've never really been interested in motorcycle clubs in any form of media, and even though I really liked that book, I wasn't sure that feeling would stick around for Walk the Edge , the next in the series. Fortunately, this is …

Tunes & Tales: Pentatonix

Thanks to Macky, I have developed a healthy appreciation for the band Pentatonix. I'm obsessed with what brilliant vocalists they are, and it's seriously still amazing to me to know that they're solely an a capella group. How freaking cool is that? Anyway, I've fallen head over hee…

On Rereading (feat. Rachel of Hello Chelly)

Everyone has a different way of reading, and the point was driven home during a recent conversation I had with Rachel . We realized that we both approached rereading in very different ways. I thought it would be interesting to share a few of our conversational highlights today, and I would love to …

Oreos, Please! • Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda

If there’s a novel that I’d say was super hyped up for me in 2015, it was  Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda . I heard nothing but praise from so many people (especially in the blogging community), and it simultaneously made me excited and nervous about reading this one. Fast forward to last month, …

Top Ten Tuesday: Spring 2016 TBR

I had intended to simply share a Top Ten Tuesday video on my channel (which is finally  done, and you can see it below!). But because of the type of video I did, I wasn’t able to explain the reasons behind the books I chose for my 2016 Spring TBR. I’ve still not successfully managed to complete a s…

Light the Lamp

I have no idea why in the world I didn't read The Deal  as soon as Kelly convinced me to buy it and it appeared on my Kindle. Because I wasted months not reading it, when I could have been swooning and talking up this amazing new adult series to other readers! Happily, I read all the books curr…
