On My Shelf

(My best friend reads this blog and I know she wants to read this book so I'm going to keep this as spoiler free as possible) 

Okay, I devoured this book. I started it yesterday, got twenty pages in, and then finished it tonight. It's literally two in the morning right...

I’m writing this full of regret. I’m usually pretty positive, and very generous with what I review and how I review. I really enjoy almost every book I read, and it’s really hard for me to not give at least four stars.

But today, dear reader, I have something to tell yo...

When Carlos Fuentes returns to America after living in Mexico for a year, he doesn’t want any part of the life his older brother, Alex, has laid out for him at a high school in Colorado. Carlos likes living his life on the edge and wants to carve his own path—just lik...

So.

I finally did it.

I finally put aside my bitterness about the cover not matching, and read Traitor to the Throne.

When I was eight years old, just four years after your publication, my t...

Please note: this list is subject to change, due to the fact that I am gaining more and more fictional baes literally every time I turn a page. I limited it specifically to on-page baes, too. If I had to make a top 10 of all my fictional baes, I would implode.

Have you ever read something that is so beautiful, so well written, and so well executed that you don't know what to do with yourself when you've turned the final page?

I am so in love with the words she put on the page, in the stories she told, no matt...

So I've been back in the 315 for a little over three hours, now, and I've already been busy. I was expecting a nice, quiet evening. But, you know, it never seems to work out that way.
