Review: Cheer Up! Love and Pom Poms by Crystal Frasier (Release 08/10/2021)
I was provided an eARC of this graphic novel through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed this graphic novel.

I received an ARC of this book from the publisher through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Gearbreakers is a fast-paced debut sci-fi YA novel that asks the question of if there is any truly effective way to fight gods. I really enjoyed this book or the first 70% of it at least. I

Review: Darling by K. Ancrum (Release 06/22/2021)
I received an ARC of this novel through NetGalley from the publisher’s giveaway, in exchange for an honest review.

I received an e-arc of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I loved this book. It was sweet and fun and funny even when things got dark. I struggled to get into it at first but the further I read, the more immersed in the story I was and the more

Review: Trouble Girls by Julia Lynn Rubin (Release 06/01/2021)
I really wanted to enjoy this book, but I found it to drag on a lot, and wondering when it would end. Part of my problem with this book is that there are no chapters in this book, there is nothing breaking up the book into more manageable chunks. I understand that for some this

Review: Cool for the Summer by Dahlia Adler (Release 05/11/2021)
I received an eARC of this book from the publisher on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I wanted to love this book, a bi MC, senior year of high school, a love triangle, all of that sounded wonderful and like it would be to my taste. I unfortunately did not love this book.

I received an uncorrected proof of this graphic novel from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Review: The Underfoot Vol. 1 by Ben Fisher and Emily S. Whitten (Released 04/23/2019)
I enjoyed this graphic novel, the science notes between each chapter were a really cute touch. I would be a bit wary of recommending this to a younger child as the images can get a bit gory at times, so depending on how exposed a child has already been to cartoon violence would impact whether

Review: Lost in the Never Woods by Aiden Thomas (Release 03/23/2021)
I received an E-arc from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This was one of my most anticipated books of the year after reading Aiden’s debut novel Cemetery Boys last year. Unfortunately, my high hopes for this book were not met. It is a mostly enjoyable read but one of my favorite features of
