q&a

If you could tell your younger writing self anything, what would it be? To write the weird stories in my heart. When I was first starting out, I thought I had to write the type of stories that were trending, or otherwise “normal” books, like variations on what was already on bookstore shelves. Now I realize that the best…

q&a

If you could tell your younger self anything, what would it be?

Great question! I would tell my younger self to relax, to have patience and trust that you’ll get there eventually. Publishing a book has been my dream since the second grade. I’ve stuck with writing for a long time, even when I wasn’t sure if I would ever reach my goal, and there…

book review

A lot more political and a little draggy, but thank goodness there’s still a lot of action scenes. I live for Alwyn Hamilton’s action scenes because they’re just so gripping. They more than made up for some of the dragging parts that eventually led to somewhere. There are stories that turn into info…

book review

I’ve read one other book of Taylor Jenkins Reid and I loved it just as much as this. Her writing is absolutely worthy of praise. She brings characters to life. Forms and moulds them into realistic characters that you want to befriend and even root for. Namely Evelyn Hugo, with the looks and figure of…

[su_spacer] book review

This is such an important book to read. There were so many moments that made me so sad that I couldn’t help but cry my eyes out. Kim Turrisi’s writing is just so easy to digest, so easy to read that it makes you relate to the main character’s woes that much easier.

This is a book about grief. About…
