Review: Warcross by Marie Lu

Review: Warcross by Marie Lu

Warcross by is the first in a sci-fi duology about the digital age of gaming. This isn’t the first book of its kind (Ready Player One people!), but it is unique in its own right and written specifically for the YA crowd. It asks some big questions. What happens when life is lived in virtual […]

Review: Carve the Mark by Veronica Roth

Review: Carve the Mark by Veronica Roth

February #2018HW – Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo

February #2018HW – Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo

2018 Reading Challenges Accepted

In 2015 I discovered my love of reading challenges through a little challenge called #COYER. I fell in love and became a bit addicted. In 2016, I participated in my first year long challenges. I didn’t do so well, completing only half of those I signed up for. Last year, I had this grand plan. […]
