In light of recent events, I have been in a serious reading slump. I have been struggling to focus enough to read and none of the books I’d tried to read were holding my attention….until Raybearer. This book was breath of fresh air, well written, and a welcome distraction in this time of unprecedented difficulty.Continue reading “Raybearer by Jordan Ifewko (ARC)”

Todd Sweeney by David Pratt
This book was such a mind bend. I don’t even know how to describe it or where to begin….. TW: blood, death, sexual content, kidnap, cruising Grindr for love, and sex on top of, in front of, and in the presence of corpses. Its a little weird. The main cast:Todd Sweeney– High school student– Murderer…forContinue reading “Todd Sweeney by David Pratt”

It took me nearly a month to read this slightly-larger-than-average book, and I think the main reason why is because I almost felt like I was two books at once. Seem confusing?

Awk-Weird by Avery Flynn (ARC)
Factoid 1: I reviewed this book on Goodreads. Check it out here. Tess is such a lovable character. She is a strong woman who’s had a bit of a darkened past that causes her to see everything as “temporary”; friends, happiness, relationships, everything. So when she ends up pregnant (a very not temporary situation), you’dContinue reading “Awk-Weird by Avery Flynn (ARC)”
