Reign the Earth was everything I hoped it would be!
To be honest, I don’t want to review Reign the Earth. For me it was one of those books that was so perfect that I don’t even want to sit and be objective about it. I don’t want to go over details and pick it apart. I just want to bask in its amazingness and all the beautiful feelings I have about the book.
Review: Unearthed by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner

I actually liked a time travel book!
I don’t normally like time travel books, but I actually loved Invictus!
There’s Nothing Worse Than Being Disappointed in a Dragon Book
Well shit. I’m sad I didn’t love this. 🙁 It had so much potential and I was SO excited. But it ended up falling kind of flat for me. By the time I got to the end, I was doing a lot of skimming just […]
Review: Warcross by Marie Lu
Warcross was FANTASTIC! It was the first book I read from BookExpo 2017 and it was everything I hoped it would be. It had already gotten a lot of hype so I was very pleased that it didn’t disappoint. Things I LOVED The main character. […]
Hilarious Sports Romance by Miranda Kenneally!
I’m a huge, huge fan of Miranda Kenneally. I’ve read the whole Hundred Oaks series except Things I Can’t Forget. Based on the other books in the series, there ware a few things I expected from Coming Up for Air: An awesome story about sports […]
