The Ravenous – Amy Lukavics (ARC Review)

From the outside, the Cane family looks like they have it all. A successful military father, a loving mother and five beautiful teenage daughters. But on the inside, life isn’t quite so idyllic: the Cane sisters can barely stand each other, their father is always away, and their neglectful mother struggles with addiction and depression. When their youngest and most beloved sister, Rose, dies in a tragic accident, Mona Cane and her sisters are devastated. And when she is brought...

Dear Martin – Nic Stone (ARC Review)

Raw, captivating, and undeniably real, Nic Stone joins industry giants Jason Reynolds and Walter Dean Myers as she boldly tackles American race relations in this stunning debut.

And despite leaving his rough neighborhood behind, he can’t escape the scorn of his former peers or the ridicule of his new classmates. Justyce looks to...

Down the TBR Hole #2

Down the TBR Hole was originally created over at Lost in a Story, and is a super fun (and simultaneously productive) tag to help you whittle away at those never-ending TBRs! (By the way, you can click on the covers to go to the Goodreads listings!) I decided to do 10 books per post instead of 5, otherwise we will literally never finish this meme series. EVER. It works like this: Go to your goodreads to-read shelf. Order on ascending date...

The End of the Year Book Tag

Hi, lovelies! Today, I’m going to be doing a tag that I’ve seen going around a lot lately, and to be frank, I was confused by the first time I saw it. I thought, “end of the year tag? But it’s only September?” Well, this tag is actually more about your preparations for the end of the year. Huh, go figure. Anyways, I was tagged to do this by a blogger whose blog seems to have disappeared, sadly. 🙁 Since I...
