3 stars I’d like to take a moment to just marvel at Maroh’s artwork. That color scheme is just… wow. Okay, on to the review. As I said the artwork is great. I loved the color choices. They really captured the desert versus water dynamic going on. The art style I loved so much in Blue…

2 stars Bit disappointed in this one. As someone who works in a library and lives with depression and anxiety, I thought I’d relate to this a lot more. I was really excited when I got it from the library and couldn’t wait to start reading. Unfortunately, much of it fell flat for me and…

This book does a great job of piecing together important details of Ginsburg’s life and showing how they influenced her later on. Throughout the book, Levy works in…

While there were some pacing issues that I was able to get past in the first because of the amazing universe created and the awesome characters, this one just didn’t live up to the standard previously set. For starters, I’m not sure why the…

4 stars After reading this, I already want to spend another summer at Camp Whatever. Complete with mysterious fog, horrific garden gnomes, a camp director with ulterior motives, shadowy figures, and odd happenings, this book has got it all.

4 stars I didn’t really know what to expect going in to this but I was pleasantly surprised by the outcome. Graveyard Shakes is a spooky tale of friendship, sisterly love, and acceptance (of loss, of life, and of oneself). The entire atmosphere of the book was so compelling. Ghostly dance parties, spooky graveyards, an…
