Lose Yourself in the World of Books
City of Dark Magic #1 City of Dark Magic is a testament to how well Ben knows me. One fall day, a few years ago, we were partaking in one of our favorite Saturday afternoon activities of perusing the shelves of the local independent bookstore (where I now work) when he called me over to… Continue reading City of Dark Magic by Magnus Flyte
When I was a little girl, I took many ballet classes and I loved it! Unfortunately, I wasn’t very good. In fact, I was incredibly clumsy, and as such, I never really managed to finish a recital or class without causing bodily harm to myself or someone else and therefore, I had to give it… Continue reading Bunheads by Sophie Flack
Sloppy Firsts, Second Helpings, Charmed Thirds, Fourth Comings, Perfect Fifths Jessica Darling helped me survive high school. I was first introduced to the delightfully snarky, sarcastic and spunky teen heroine of Sloppy Firsts when I was a freshman in speech and debate practice after school one autumn afternoon back in 2003. A frenemy of mine… Continue reading Jessica Darling quintet by Megan McCafferty
This book is known to my family as "the reason Sarah owns a dreaded Kindle." New Adult author Viv Daniels (aka my second favorite author in the whole wide world Diana Peterfreund), originally released this book eBook only. Two years later, I found that I could order a paperback (pictured above), but of course I… Continue reading Hear Me by Viv Daniels
Wild Seasons #3 I've made it my mission to attempt to cultivate an actual "New Adult" section at the bookstore I work at, and by New Adult, I don't typically follow the industry standard definition - I look for books that are relevant for people who are new to adulting, whether they be 16 or… Continue reading Dark Wild Night by Christina Lauren
Royal We #1 Yesterday a book came into the bookstore that I could not believe my coworkers did not show me immediately - a new biography of Prince Harry! I freaked out so much my boss just gave it to me... I should probably tone down my royalist tendencies. But it reminded me of another… Continue reading The Royal We by Heather Cocks & Jessica Morgan
Thank you Buzzfeed, because an ad for this book was embedded in an article I was reading on the site. I quickly located it on Goodreads, and then asked my sister to track it down and she special ordered it for me. The story of a young woman moving from the USA to London because… Continue reading London Belongs to Me by Jacquelyn Middleton
Royally #2 I'm a hopeless royalist, so when the sequel to Royally Screwed was announced, and that the main female lead would be named Sarah and the prince, Henry (FYI, did you know Prince Harry's real name is Henry?), my seventeen year old self emerged after a decade to jump up and down excitedly. Synopsis Some men… Continue reading Royally Matched by Emma Chase
A Court of Thorns and Roses, A Court of Mist and Fury, A Court of Wings and Ruin #1. I will read anything by Sarah J. Maas. #2. It's based on Beauty and the Beast. #3-#10. Repeat #1. A Court of Thorns and Roses Synopsis Feyre is a huntress. She thinks nothing of slaughtering a wolf to… Continue reading A Court of Thorns and Roses trilogy by Sarah J. Maas
Royally #1 I've always been an American Royalist, since I was a young girl and first learned about two real live princes actually existing in England and not just in Disney movies, I've been one of those people who follows there every move. My mother's own love of Princess Diana certainly didn't hurt my love… Continue reading Royally Screwed by Emma Chase
