End of the Year Book Tag

Happy Tuesday! I’m back with another book tag, called the End of the Year Book Tag. I guess December is upon us and 2018 will be soon coming to an end. Time to think about what I want to read before 2019 is here!

Heir of Fire & Queen of Shadows by SJM: Review

I feel like I have been reading so many books this month, but when I looked at my bullet journal – there aren’t that many. Which I thought was weird because I have been reading like crazy this month… oh wait – I’ve been reading the Throne of Glass books and they are HUGE. That’s why I’ve been reading a lot and yet there aren’t that many books on my list.. because the ones I am reading are…

Carry On by Rainbow Rowell: Review

Happy Friday! Can you believe we’re already in the middle of November?! Me either! I feel like it was just summer, and now snow is flying and it’s flipping cold here in Iowa. It’s super annoying. 

Anyway! I’m here today with a review for Carry On by Rainbow Rowell. I read this book as the recommendation of a good friend of mine.

Autumn Reading Book Tag: Tag Tuesday

  Hello and happy Tuesday! I’m starting a thing on my blog, which isn’t new to really anyone, but I love tags! I’ve loved them since before I found the online book community – anyone remember doing notes on Facebook? I filled those things out daily for no reason. Anyway! So begins a weekly (hopefully) day where I find tags on the Internet to do – which are book related! I might try to find the…

Sadie by Courtney Summers: Review

Hello! Guess who now has a computer I can actually sit down and type on? THIS GIRL. And I am VERY excited about it! So I am finally, finally back with content! Up first is a review of Adie by Courtney Summers, which honestly blew me away!

Someday My Witch Will Come On Sale Now

Where the heck did September go? Today is the 26th of September and I can’t believe that October begins in just a few days. Next month is filled with amazing book releases, highlighted by Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J Maas. I am so damn excited for that book, since I’m now reading the Throne of Glass books. So many good books!

I missed last week because I’ve been crazy busy, so I’ll include some books that came out this week as well as ones coming out here soon!

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid: Review

Do you have a book that has been so hyped for you because the people you follow on social media can’t stop talking about it? The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo was that book for me. I downloaded the audiobook from Scribd (which is amazing by the way) and could not stop listening to it. I made myself a pact to only listen to it while I was “being active,” so I was walking all over the place trying…

Throne of Glass & Crown of Midnight by SJM: Review

I am “relatively” new to the young adult fantasy world, so there are many books/series that I haven’t read because they started before I really paid attention to the genre. Fantasy has never really been something I’ve read about, minus Harry Potter of course, but now I’m finding myself buying and reading more and more fantasy books. And I freaking love them.

I found Sarah J Maas’ A Court of…

August Reading Wrap Up

Hello all! I feel like it’s been forever since I’ve been able to sit down and actually write for a bit, but I finally found the chance to do it. I miss talking about books. Since I’m not able to write as many reviews as I’d like (not having a computer is seriously annoying – I’m currently at my local library), so I thought about doing a monthly wrap-up instead! I wanted to talk about the books I…

Waiting Wednesday (is back!)

Ah, in my typical fashion, I have been absent from my blog for a time. BUT I am back so here! There are so, so, so many great books coming out in the last quarter of the year and I am so excited for them all! I’m changing these up a little bit because this last quarter is jam-packed with books, so I’m focusing on more than one book in this Waiiting Wednesday posts!

Get Witch Quick by Daisy Prescott Now on Sale

Hello all! Hope you have been well. I’ve been a bit all over the place lately with posts. I have bunch of reviews to sit down and write, but that requires time and organization and this girl isn’t having it right now. Anyway, I have a fun book to talk about today that’s just been released! I’ve read one book by Daisy Prescott and adored it, so I’m excited for this upcoming series.

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Jay Crownover, comes the next title in her The Breaking Point romantic suspense series, RESPECT. Don’t miss the amazing cover below, and pre-order your copy today!

About RESPECT:

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess who called a corrupt kingdom home sweet home.

Protected and sheltered from the worst the world had to offer, she fell in love with the crumbling city that burned and blazed around her. Every dirty corner, every scary shadow, found a place within her heart. So did a man who was violent and dangerous, just like the streets she claimed as her own.

He was all business and brutality, except when it came to her. With her, he was calm, caring, and heartbreakingly patient.

He warned her over and over that he wasn’t the man for her, but she refused to listen. She never expected either the streets or their enforcer to hurt her, since she’d given her heart so completely to both.

She should have known the streets in the Point were always going to be savage, and so was the man committed to keeping control of them in the hands of criminals and bloody kingpins.

Blindsided by a betrayal which cut so deeply she was sure the wounds would never heal, the princess fled the home she loved and the man who broke her heart. Throwing away her rusted, twisted crown was supposed to help her forget. All it did was make her long for everything she left behind. She told herself she would never go back, but in this tormented kingdom, family is everything. Eventually, she has no choice but to return.

While she was gone, the people who loved her worked hard to make the city safe, and the man who destroyed her sank deeper into the darkness. Going back shouldn’t feel like surrender… but it does. As this pretty princess hovers on the edge of the unknown, the past attacks with a vengeance. It’s a good reminder that puppy love eventually grows up and turns into something with sharp teeth and one hell of a bite.

She never asked for the keys to the kingdom. She’d much rather go out and build her own.

Guys! I don’t know how I can express my love of Jay Crownover and the characters and stories she creates. I think she writes real and raw characters with real flaws and real situations, and I never want her to stop writing. Ever. I will buy a bookshelf purely dedicated to her books.

Respect is the third book in The Breaking Point series and follows characters we’ve met a loooong time ago in her books and readers like myself have been waiting for her to give them a proper story after everything that’s happened in this world and to these characters. Booker is a tough as nails, takes no shit kind of guy, and Karsen is a girl who’s seen a lot and dealt with many things that have been thrown her way. They were drawn together and have been circling each other since that time, waiting and waiting for something to happen.

I won’t get into the plot, since this is the third book of this series, but I can’t get over how much I love these characters and this world. Jay has created such a well deveopled world filled with unique plot lines and characters that jump off the page. I  love Booker to pieces. Karsen is strong and smart and goes after what she wants no matter what people tell her. Together their chemistry is off the charts and their banter keeps me smiling as the pages fly.

I will continue to be a huge fan of Jay Crownover and will buy anything she puts out! She delivered another fantastic story filled with such wonderful romance and suspense to keep you on your toes!

And don’t miss the first titles in The Breaking Point series, HONOR and Dignity! Grab your copy today!
