Four Dead Queens by Astrid Scholte {Stephanie’s Review}
[book-info] I read Four Dead Queens by Astrid Scholte because I thought it sounded like a really good read. It was picked for the July 2020 young adult read for COYER book club. I struggled way more with this book than I had anticipated. I think part of the issue was the start and stop…

Aurora Rising by Jay Kristoff & Amie Kaufman {Stephanie’s Review}
[book-info] Aurora Rising by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman was a June COYER book club pick and I’d been meaning to get to it. When it was picked for book club it seemed as good a time as any to read it. Honestly the plot is what dragged this down one star for me. There’s…

The Girl the Sea Gave Back by Adrienne Young {Stephanie’s Review}
[book-info] The Girl the Sea Gave Back by Adrienne Young was a June COYER book club pick. I really enjoyed Sky in the Deep so I was excited to pick this book up. Right off the bat I’m going to say I didn’t love The Girl the Sea Gave Back as much. I felt like…

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins {Stephanie’s Review}
[book-info] Who isn’t reading The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins right now? I read it because it filled a prompt for my TBR Monopoly and I was very curious if lightning strikes twice. I’m sad to report that it didn’t for me. I was in love with this concept. It’s 10 years…

Fable by Adrienne Young {Stephanie’s Review}
[book-info] I decided to read Fable by Adrienne Young because I really enjoyed Sky in the Deep. I didn’t love The Girl the Sea Gave Back as much. When I heard Young had a new release I had to give it a shot! The title really caught my attention and I wanted to know which…

Sky in the Deep by Adrienne Young {Stephanie’s Review}
[book-info] Sky in the Deep by Adrienne Young was a May COYER book club pick. I had it in my TBR and it was just the motivation I needed to pick it up. This book was S.L.O.W. but it was descriptive and fascinating. The only reason I was able to keep going is because I…

Lifel1k3 by Jay Kristoff {Stephanie’s Review}
[book-info] I decided to read Lifel1k3 by Jay Kristoff as it was one of the May COYER Book Club selections. I was attempting to read all 4 picks that month (I got 3 of the 4!). Plus I just wanted more Jay Kristoff in my life. I really enjoyed Lifel1k3! I kept thinking I knew…

Bad Romance by Heather Demetrios {Stephanie’s Review}
[book-info] I rolled a prompt in my TBR Monopoly “to buy a book from your wish list”. I decided to pick Bad Romance by Heather Demetrios because I loved I’ll Meet You There. I hadn’t gotten around to reading any more of her books and I thought it was time to correct that. I gave…

The Vanishing Stair by Maureen Johnson *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] I loved The Vanishing Staircase by Maureen Johnson so much! It had a typical Maureen Johnson cliffhanger which I don’t love but I’m beginning to question that stance. Not much time has passed between the two books. Stevie ends up back at Ellingham Academy but she made a deal with the devil to get…

The Shadow Cabinet by Maureen Johnson *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] I have really mixed feelings on The Shadow Cabinet by Maureen Johnson. I really thought this was a trilogy and I’d be wrapping a series. Not only is this not a trilogy but it has the typical Maureen Johnson cliffhanger ending. In a way this sort of set me up for failure but it…
