This is a place for book addicts like myself to feel safe and understood – and find out about some awesome (or not-so-awesome) books to feed their ever-hungry habit.
You'll find new reviews here every Wednesday ranging in genres from sci-fi, fantasy, paranormal, suspense, historical fiction, action, adventure, middlegrade and more in all age categories. Though there tends to be more YA reviewed here than other genres, this blog is in no way limited to that.
