So I fully expected that this book was going to break me, I just didn’t expect that THAT was the way it was going to break me. Jayne is a New York City living college student, who seems pretty distanced from her family even though her sister, June, lives only streets away. That changes when … Continue reading ARC Review: Yolk

ARC Review: Foretold
Apologies in advance, but this review is going to be a very personal one. When I saw that there was a book about someone with OCD and superpowers, I genuinely screamed. I remember the first time someone described OCD to me as being a kind of power, it made the world look so much brighter to … Continue reading ARC Review: Foretold

February Wrap-Up/TBR
In addition being very late with this post, it will also be shorter than my other wrap-ups. School, unfortunately, is still taking over my life, and I did not get to read as much as I hoped in comparison to January. Also unfortunately, I did not really like anything that I finished (or I found … Continue reading February Wrap-Up/TBR

However, it becomes increasingly clear that they are … Continue reading ARC Review: A Dark and Hollow Star

Monthly Wrap-Up: January
Last month felt like a year in itself, but it's finally over! Hooray! Although I wasn't very productive in the general category of "life" I did manage to read a decent amount. To keep the post readable, I'm going to give quick reviews of my top 4 reads of the month. 1. A Dark and … Continue reading Monthly Wrap-Up: January
