Lose Yourself in the World of Books
Follow up to Adultolescence I'm not a bit poetry person, and I didn't entirely love Gabbie's style in Adultolescence, I did relate to the content. When I saw the digital advance copy come through, and then saw how many people were hate-rating Dandelion on Goodreads before having access to it, I realized that it was… Continue reading Dandelion by Gabbie Hanna
Laura and I have both been hopelessly obsessed with the British royal family for practically our whole lives. As such, we tend to seek out books with very royal characters in them. Below are just a few of our favorites - click the images for the reviews and the titles to add them to your… Continue reading Royalist Reverie
The Dark Story of America's Shining Women I'm continuing to play catch up - The Radium Girls was the Nonfiction Book Club selection for July and while I say I'm going to be better about posting in a timely manner, daily posts for the bookstore blog eat up a LOT of time. But if it's… Continue reading The Radium Girls by Kate Moore
There's nothing like a global pandemic to completely change ones reading habits, right? Well, I guess we really wouldn't know. Either way, I'm ready way more historical fiction in the last week than I've read in years. However, fun fact, historical fiction was what really got me into reading way back in the third grade… Continue reading The Jane Austen Society by Natalie Jenner
I've been watching Little Women on near repeat the last few days to cope with being in the epicenter of the Pennsylvania Covid-19 outbreak. I re-read the book in the last month for the tenth time, but the first since I was fourteen and I'd nearly forgotten just how near and dear it is to… Continue reading Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
In Sunday's review of Mythos, I mentioned I was struggling with writing reviews lately. I don't know what's been going on with me - maybe it's the fact that I've been reading parts of so many books and haven't finished as many as I'd like, or that the independent bookstore I work at has been… Continue reading Favorite Graphic Novels
Mythos was included as one of Libro.fm's advanced listening copies for booksellers and as I was in the mood for something a little different for my evening listening (and I've always loved Stephen Fry), I figured it was a good one to try out! Synopsis From the Front Flap:Rediscover the thrills, grandeur, and unabashed fun… Continue reading Mythos by Stephen Fry
This review is SPOILER FREE! What feels like many years ago, I kept seeing this book cover that looked super cool. It was green and had a girl who looked like a total badass on the cover. Little did I know that it was the third in a new series that had, until then, been… Continue reading Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas
I'm a sucker for a royal romance. And given my current requirement that all fiction I read must feature Scotland in some way shape or form (and oddly enough, be an imprint of Simon & Schuster, which is probably just a coincidence...), I picked up my long forgotten ARC of The Royal Runaway one night… Continue reading The Royal Runaway by Lindsay Emory
I don't know if I want kids. Thankfully, my husband also isn't sure, so we are unsure together. And when Lucy announced her own pregnancy at the beginning of 2016, I was so excited because I knew, eventually, she'd write about it has she has done with countless other events in her life, such as… Continue reading Kid Gloves by Lucy Knisley
