Book Review: Love and Gelato

Hello beautiful! Today I’m finally getting around to reviewing a book I’ve read and reread at least five times: Love and Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch.

Review: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

Hello beautiful! I haven’t posted in a while because I’ve been in a bit of a reading slump, but I finally escaped it with the new(ish) Hunger Games prequel.

Arc of a Scythe: Scythe and Thunderhead

Hello beautiful! A few weeks ago, I picked up the book Scythe by Neal Shusterman on a whim. I think it’s probably been recommended to me before, but I don’t remember when. The premise was very intriguing, and the covers are unique. Anyway, since then, I’ve found and read the second book as well. ThisContinue reading “Arc of a Scythe: Scythe and Thunderhead”

Book Review: Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

Hello beautiful! Today’s review is about a book I’d heard mixed things about. Most of my internet friends raved about this story, and even a few physical friends as well.
