The Merciful Crow by Margaret Owen | Book Review

I read another ebook on my TBR! It was … okay. I loved the world building but it fell short with the characterization. Watch on for why!

Supplementals #2 | American Presidents Reading Challenge

These books are extras on the Truman, Kennedy, and Johnson administrations and boy do I have some thoughts and feelings. This is why you read more than one, people!

Soulswift by Megan Bannen | ARC Review

Did I really do it? Did I really read a YA book PLUS an ARC on time? I really, really did. I’m so proud! This book ripped out all my emotional insides and I give it four stars. Now, back to wallowing in my book hangover.

Trapped in My E-Reader TBR

Because there are SO MANY BOOKS on my e-reader that I’ve forgotten about, this will literally just be a list of books I’ve gotten and left unread in an attempt to shame myself into reading them. This has been weighing really heavily on me, so hopefully this is the push I need to get this done!

Finding Freedom by Omid Scoobie and Carolyn Durand | Book Review

I was very excited about this book … and then I read it. This doesn’t feel like a real biography, and that makes me grumpy. Watch on for more!

Supplementals #1 – The Founding | American President Reading Challenge

How can there be supplemental reading if I haven’t even finished my original presidents? Easy! I’m super obsessive when it comes to new topics. This episode covers all the extra books I’ve read around the founding of America, including focal characters such as Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, George Washington, and Benedict Arnold.

The Hating Game by Sally Thorne | Book Review

In which I review another enemies-to-lovers romance novel, recommended to me based on library resources because I loved “You Deserve Each Other” so much.

Betwixt the Books Review | House of Earth and Blood

Wherein Michaela and Gretchen review the first book in the new Crescent City Series by Sarah J Maas. Spoiler alert: She’s written better.

American President Reading Challenge Ep. 4 – TR to Coolidge

Yeehaw, here we go again! Ep. 4 of my reading challenge log gets us from the first Roosevelt to Calvin Coolidge, minus Warren. G. Harding. Sorry, Warren!

You Deserve Each Other by Sarah Hogle | Book Review

This time around, I review a single romance novel instead of, um, 90. This is one of my top 5 books this year and certainly top funniest book I’ve read so far. There are spoilers as far as this is a romance novel and it follows the entirely predictable HOA ending.
