ARC Review: Love Times Infinity by Lane Clarke
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. School is back in session after having spring break last week. I went camping with my family and had a lot of fun. It was definitely hot, but I still had a good time and took a lot of pictures that I plan to share in a later post. Today’s post is a very exciting one. And that’s because I got my first ARC! I was so excited when I got asked to review this book. I’ve gotten a few requests before, but this was the first one that struck my interest. Let’s get into the review!

Review: Counting Down with You by Tashie Bhuiyan
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. This week has been loooooong. We have this weird schedule at school for testing, so we have extra long block period sessions, where classes are two hours long. It makes the days go by so slowly. And we have it again next week! Anyways, enough complaining from me. I’m here to talk about a new favorite book of mine! Have you ever read a book where you just felt completely and totally happy when it ended? And you couldn’t keep that smile off your face? Well, I have found that book. Counting Down with You is now one of my favorite contemporaries.…

Review: A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson

Double Review: We Are Not Free by Traci Chee and The Awakening Storm by Jaimal Yogis & Vivian Truong | A Heartfelt Story of WW2 and an Entertaining MG Fantasy
Hey, everyone! It’s the first review of 2022! I haven’t done a book review in little while; I noticed that I’ve started doing fewer reviews because I’ve discovered so many other book-related posts in the year I’ve been blogging. But book reviews are still pretty much the core of my blog. Today, I’ll be reviewing two books: We Are Not Free by Traci Chee and The Awakening Storm by Jaimal Yogis and Vivian Truong. The books are very different from each other, with the first being a historical fiction about the Japanese incarceration camps, while the latter is a fantasy involving dragons and unpredictable villains. I’m reviewing We Are Not…

Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. Today I’m doing my first review since I took my break. It’s a bit different because I’ll be reviewing a whole series instead of just one book. I’ll be doing two separate reviews (it’s a duology), but they’ll be shorter than my normal ones. My cousin recommended this series to me and I’m super glad he did!

Review: A Vow So Bold and Deadly by Brigid Kemmerer
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re alll doing well. I am happy to say that I am officially on summer break now. My last day was on Friday and I’ve finished my first year of high school completely online. It was definitely weird, but I still had a fairly okay year. After reading the last line in A Heart So Fierce and Broken, I was so mad that I had to wait a whole year for the next one to come out. This book drove me insane. . . in a good way. Title: A Vow So Bold and DeadlyAuthor: Brigid KemmererGenre: Fantasy, Romance, Young AdultSeries: Cursebreakers #3Page Count: 408 Synopsis…
