The List by Siobhan Vivian *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] The List by Siobhan Vivian had so much potential I was pretty stoked to get started. A high school has a yearly list that names the ugliest and prettiest girls in each class. I was pretty disappointed the more that I kept reading, the worse it got. First of all, each girl has her…

Heir of Fire by Sarah J Maas *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] I am so glad that I put off reading the Throne of Glass series for so long. It has been so much fun reading a new book each month. There will be a short wait for the next one but I don’t know how you all have waited for so long! There were SO…

Saint Anything by Sarah Dessen *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] I decided top ick up Saint Anything by Sarah Dessen for a lot of reasons. The main reason is that Alexa loves her and Saint Anything was just released. Everyone seemed to really be enjoy8ing it so it seemed like a good place to start. Sydney was such a great character. Her family has…

Panic by Lauren Oliver *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] Panic by Lauren Oliver grabbed my attention with its blurb. Small town wracked by near poverty when the local factory closed? God can I relate to that! The area that I live in lost 3000 jobs alone when one of the major factories closed its doors and moved production to Mexico. The smaller factories…

Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] Typically the second book in a series tends to suffer from “middle book syndrome”. Middle book syndrome is when a book spends half of the book rehashing the first book and the other half sitting up the plot for the third book in the series. Not so with Crown of Midnight by Sarah J.…

Even When You Lie to Me by Jessica Alcott *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] I have to say I’m pretty curious to see how the book community reacts to Even When You Lie to Me by Jessica Alcott. Each month I’m trying to read an ARC that I picked up from ALA MidWinter. This month Even When You Lie to Me started calling from the stacks. It was…

Burn for Burn by Jenny Han & Siobhan Vivian *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] I’ve been wanting to read To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han for forever. I’m trying to watch my book buying budget a little more closely and read from my massive TBR more. Instead of purchasing a new book, I grabbed Burn for Burn by Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian and…

Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] There was so much hype surrounding Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli that I was a little concerned I’d be disappointed. I shouldn’t have been too worried! While the hype is what drew my attention to Simon, it was the synopsis that hooked me. Simon is one of the sweetest and…

Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] Where do I even start with this review? First of all: I’m sorry. I’m sorry that it took me so long to pick up Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas. I have had it for at least a year if not longer. I think that the insane amount of hype surrounding Maas’s work…

Hero by Alethea Kontis *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] It’s been quite some time since I’ve read Enchanted by Alethea Kontis. I had gone into that book with some pretty high hopes and under the impression it was a fairy tale re-telling. What I got wasn’t a true re-telling but rather a mash-up of quite a few fairy tales. I’m pretty sure this…
