Wilder Girls was one of the standout books for 2019 for me, surpassing any and all expectations. It was the perfect combination of Horror, Suspense, and Romance. Thus I am absolutely THRILLED to see a new book by Rory Power coming out! Ever since Margot was born, it’s been just her and her mother. No […]
Waiting For Wednesday: The Space Between Lost and Found
Sandy Stark-McGinnis’s debut Middle-Grade Novel Extraordinary Birds was by far one of the most beautiful books I read in 2019. I loved the powerful message and the way it didn’t pull punches. So I’m absolutely pumped for her next novel! Cassie’s always looked up to her mom, a vivacious woman with big ideas and a […]
Waiting For Wednesday: We Free The Stars
It is no secret that We Hunt The Flame was one of my favourite books I have read this year. I was obsessed with it before I read it and I only became more obsessed after I read it. Zafira is the Hunter, braving the cursed forest of the Arz to feed her people. Nasir […]
Waiting For Wednesday: Rick
SO As you know I loved George by Alex Gino so when I heard about this companion book I was SO HYPED. Rick’s never questioned much. He’s gone along with his best friend Jeff even when Jeff’s acted like a bully and a jerk. He’s let his father joke with him about which hot girls […]
Waiting For Wednesday: The Toll
I blame some kind of fatigue or brain fade for not posting this book earlier. I adored Scythe and am still got brain matter dripping out of my ear at how mind-blowing Thunderhead was. I cannot wait to see what Neal throws our way in this final book! It’s been three years since Rowan and […]
Waiting For Wednesday: The Gravity Of Us
I’m honestly a bit surprised that I haven’t already posted about this. I have been hearing about it everywhere for ages. I was so positive that I had already posted but think I got confused with Something like Gravity. As a successful social media journalist with half a million followers, seventeen-year-old Cal is used to […]
Waiting For Wednesday: We Unleash The Merciless Storm
We Set The Dark On Fire was one of the best books I read this year so far. I think of it all the time and I loved the way it was written. So, of course, I am thrilled about the second book! Being a part of the resistance group La Voz is an act […]
Waiting For Wednesday: Children of Virtue and Vengeance
This is an odd one to be excited for as I have yet to read the first book, but I have heard so many good things about the first book, that I can’t wait for this one to come out too. I might just wait to read them back to back and savour the series. […]
Waiting For Wednesday: Dear Girls: Intimate Tales, Untold Secrets, and Advice for Living Your Best Life
I don’t read a lot of nonfiction, it’s just something that for the most part doesn’t interest me. But Ali Wong is a goddess, so this is my exception. Actually essay collections like this tend to be my exception. Ali Wong’s heartfelt and hilarious letters to her daughters (the two she put to work while […]
Waiting For Wednesday: Who Put This Song On?
This is a book I only recently stumbled upon and sounds like something I’m really interested in. I am learning I really like books that talk about identity and how to navigate and discover yours while living in a society that wants us to all be the same. Trapped in sunny, stifling, small-town suburbia, seventeen-year-old […]
Waiting For Wednesday: Ruthless Gods
Wicked Saints by Emily Duncan has definitely been a highlight of the year, and definitely a favourite book. I loved this dark gritty fantasy so much, with warring factions of magic, and dark evil boys. So the next book in the series is one I have been keeping my eye out for. Darkness never works […]
Waiting For Wednesday: Come Tumbling Down
By far the Wayward Children Series by Seanan McQuire is one of my favourites I have discovered this year. I absolutely loved each one with Beneath the Sugar Sky is probably my absolute favourite of them. So, of course, I am 159% *IN* for the latest in the series Come Tumbling Down. When Jack left […]
Waiting for Wednesday: Tunnel Of Bones
In May, I had read City of Ghosts, to which Tunnel of Bones is a sequel to, and loved it. It’s the creepy kind of middle grade I thrive on when I’m feeling down. I really like that it was written from the aspect that kids are intelligent. It’s one of the more frustrating parts […]
Waiting For Wednesday: The Babysitters Coven
The Babysitters Coven is being touted as Babysitters Club meets Buffy The Vampire Slayer! Just YES! GIVE! IT! TO! ME! Surprising probably absolutely no one I loved The Babysitters Club as a kid reading the books well past when I was too old of them. Seventeen-year-old Esme Pearl has a babysitters club. She knows it’s […]
Waiting for Wednesday: As Sweet As Honey
I’m not a huge fan of cisgender heterosexual romance novels. Not because I think they are a lower form of writing or any elitism, just I have enough heteros cis stuff in my life as is. As Sweet As Honey is an exception to that, one cause I adore Anna, but also because I love […]
Waiting for Wednesday: Reverie
Reverie looks like everything I could ever want in a book! Contemporary fantasy! Daydream Magic! Drag Queen Sorceress! Oh My! This book looks like a rare gem of perfection, absurdity and romance! Inception meets The Magicians, except with better wigs and a maniacal drag queen sorceress attempting to unravel the reality of Connecticut (yes, the […]
Waiting for Wednesday: Rival Princes: A Fairyland Romance
Rival Princes: A Fairyland Romance looks so wholesome, wonderful and GAY! I am here for every moment of it! Like every moment! The three golden rules for new recruits at Fairyland Theme Park: 1. Guests must have a magical time2. No breaking character, even if you’re dying of heat exhaustion3. No falling in love Nate’s […]
Waiting for Wednesday: Call Down the Hawk
Okay, so I’ll admit I’m a late comer to the Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater. But I loved that series and have high hopes for Call Sown the Hawk, and more Ronan Lynch. I was looking up info about The Raven King the last book in the Raven Cycle which I just finished when I […]
Waiting for Wednesday: Dark and Deepest Red
Anna-Marie McLemore is a new writer to me this year and she has blown me away. Her debut novel ‘When the Moon was Ours‘ is probably one of my top 5 favourite trans novels. So when I heard about Dark and Deepest Red my interest was definitely piqued. I have a feeling she is quickly […]
Waiting For Wednesday: Kindred: A Queer #LoveOzYA Anthology
I happily discovered Kindred through the Australia and New Zealand YA Blogger Community and instantly was interested! This just sounds great; YA, Queer, and Aussie! The first two things I love and the last I’ll tolerate (joking, joking, Aussie, you know I love ya)! I have already heard good things about this anthology from those […]
Waiting for Wednesday: I Wish You All The Best
I’m not sure where I first heard about this book, but as more details arrived so did my hype. ‘I Wish You All The Best’ is an own voices novel regarding nonbinary romance, and sounds so good. When Ben De Backer comes out to their parents as nonbinary, they’re thrown out of their house and […]
Waiting For Wednesday: A Madness of Sunshine
Nalini Singh is one of my go-to paranormal romance authors with her Psy/Changling series a favourite of mine. So when I heard about her new novel A Madness of Sunshine which is a thriller, um yes, please! Then I found out it takes place in New Zealand which is rare, I was even more excited! […]
Waiting for Wednesday: Something Like Gravity
Queer romance featuring a Trans character? Um, yes please can I read it now?!?! I have heard some good things about this book just sounds so good! I will read anything that has a Trans, Genderqueer, or Nonbinary main character! Chris and Maia aren’t off to a great start. A near-fatal car accident first brings […]
Waiting For Wednesday: Red, White & Royal Blue
SO MUCH HYPE! That is all I can say about this book, everyone whom I have heard speak about this book have said nothing but absolutely good things about it! PopSugar has declared it a must-read for 2019, and frankly, I am all in for the hype. It sounds cute and adorable and why can’t […]
Waiting For Wednesday: Wayward Son
To say the Carry On by Rainbow Rowell is one of my favourite books is an understatement. This is a book that I read finished then instantly reread to ensure I caught all the little things. Everything about this book brings me joy, clumsy first kisses, sexuality exploration without fear, hate to love romance, give it all […]
