A Book Recommendation for (almost) Every Letter of The Alphabet

This blog post was actually really difficult for me to find book recommendations for certain books, so I ended up having to cut the beginning of a book's title off, which still counts in my opinion. :) Also, there are some letters missing (O, P, Q, X, and Z) because I didn't want to recommend a book I'd hadn't read just because it started with a certain letter. So I'll be taking recommendations in the comment for the letters I'm missing! .................................................................................................................................................... A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer I recently read this book and I fell in love with the characters and the story-line of this book. I would definitely recommend it! .................................................................................................................................................... The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snick...

Amber & Dusk by Lyra Selene ARC Review

Warrior of the Wild by Tricia Levenseller Review

Warrior of the Wild by Tricia Levenseller ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ How do you kill a god? As her father's chosen heir, eighteen-year-old Rasmira has trained her whole life to become a warrior and lead her village. But when her coming-of-age trial is sabotaged and she fails the test, her father banishes her to the monster-filled wilderness with an impossible quest: To win back her honor, she must kill the oppressive god who claims tribute from the villages each year—or die trying.   ............................................................................................. “Each scar marks me as a survivor. A warrior of the wild.”   I'll be honest and let you know that this wasn't one of my anticipated reads for 2019, it was just available at my library so I requested it! The writing in this book was amazing and it was one of those books that painted a vivid scene in my head while reading it, which doesn't seem to happen very much in YA books now a days. ...

15 Bookish Facts about Me!

1. I have never read the Harry Potter series   I don't really have any need to read these books, there are so many amazing books that there that I'd rather read instead, no offence, but it's not just my cup of tea. 2. I watched The Hunger Games movie before I read the books. The story behind this is that I was just channel surfing on TV and The Hunger Games was on and I started watching it and got to around where Clove and Katniss meet near the end of the book, and then I had plans to go out, so I didn't get to see what happened, so I read the books, which I absolutely loved and introduced me to YA. 3. YA is all I'll read Right now, I have no need to read any other genres, I don't read middle grade and just do not like the writing for adult fiction, so YA my happy place. 4. The first John Green book I read was Turtles All The Way Down Last year, I decided to read as many books as I could and Turtles was a book available at my library...
