Have you ever wondered what it would be like to write a book with someone else? I know I have. And now that I think about it, I’m not so sure why I’ve always thought of that as mind-blowingly complicated – after all, many of us work in teams. A lot of the work we do is divided between individuals,…

I have been waiting to read the last book of The Indigo Chronicles series for a while now. Three years I’ve been following this series, and I can’t say l’ve followed any other one like this – one by one, as the books come out. It’s an experience like no other, and I certainly enjoyed it – incredibly. Children of…

Do you sometimes notice that some books you’ve read stay with you longer than others? For me, that appears to be the case with a book I read a couple of months ago, Maud & Addie, which I reviewed here. It’s a story about two sisters who don’t get along too well, but through tough circumstances, discover a friendship and…

And, Taylor Jenkins Reid does it again – Malibu Rising is an unbelievable, steady burn novel that doesn’t let you down a for a single moment. Strong characters, unique destinies and a sufficiently tangled, yet chill plot that will leave you hoping she’ll produce one more of these gems sometime soon. Check out on Goodreads ★★★★★ 5 stars How I…

Today’s my stop for the blog tour of Instructions for Dancing by Nicola Yoon with The Write Reads blog tours, and what a story it was! It’s got everything – a sweet love story, grief and betrayal, yet healing as well. It’s a story about how life can’t really ever be a fairytale, but it’s what we experience along the…

A few years back, I read a lovely novel called No Sad Songs by Frank Morelli. It stuck with me so much, that ever since then I’ve been happy to read pretty much anything else this author writes. And this year, Frank did not disappoint – On the Way to Birdland features the same kind of sensitive care for one’s…

I’m still reeling after finishing Shards of Earth – what a story… For those who have experienced Mass Effect (re-released this week, by the way! My husband is playing it as I’m writing this post), I can only say that it’s a very similar story, both in terms of how grand, amazingly written and dark it is. If you’re a…

I really enjoyed this installment of the Dinswood academy series! I breezed through The Phantom of the East Tower, and now I’m kind of sad it has already ended, because I kind of want to be back in that castle again? Check out on Goodreads ★★★★✬ 4.5 stars How I read this: free ebook copy from publisher In the previous…

Lights Out in Lincolnwood was one of the more original stories I read this year, and maybe not even just this year. I’m not quite sure I’ve read anything like it before! And I’m very glad I chanced upon this book, because not only was it snarky and kind of funny, but it was also serious in the way of,…

The Startup Wife was an amazing book, and I find myself still thinking about it long after I’ve finished it. It was just one of those books where you start reading it, and you know it’s going to be an instant hit with you. I can only compare The Startup Wife with books like Daisy Jones and The Six, Oona Out…

I really had fun with the Mostly Invisible Boy by A.J. Vanderhorst! The best thing about this book is that it’s going to be a series, so I won’t have to part with the characters. I’m definitely looking forward to more adventures to be had with Casey and Gloria, the brother and sister who find a whole world out there,…

Today I’m participating in a blog tour for What Beauty There Is by Cory Anderson (thank you for the review copy, TheWriteReads Tours!) This was a tense read! What Beauty There Is gave me the vibes from The Boy Who Steals Houses, only it was darker – so much darker. Actually, I didn’t expect this book to be so dark…

Last night I read a truly unforgettable book. It’s one of those books I’m sure I’ll remember forever, and it’s one of those that feel like they were secretly written for you. The experience was just uncanny, and it left me with so many thoughts and feelings, and now I’m struggling to put them in words. Ghostlove by Dennis Mahoney…

Last weekend, I mentioned that I recently read two books that got me out of the massive reading slump I’ve had for weeks.. Maybe months? Well, Maud & Addie was one of these books, and it’s unforgettable. It’s just one of those stories that when you delve into it, you’re quite likely to just spend the whole night reading, nevermind…

So this weekend, I finally read a couple middle grade books that broke my huge reading slump. I was incredibly lucky, cause two out of three were 5 stars – and A Place to Hang the Moon was one of them. The book immediately drew me in – it had a pleasant tone and felt natural, and I could instantly feel…

You guys (and gals, and enbies), this book was so good!!! I don’t even know where to start. When I accepted the review copy, something made me think the book would be much more lighthearted than it was. I didn’t expect Prepped to be so serious and kind of heart-breaking. I thought it would be an adventure, but it’s so…

The story of this guest post starts with me receiving the most brilliant book blogger review request I’ve yet to see. As book bloggers, we are used to seeing things like “Hello [Mis-spelled name], would you like to read my book”, without any info about it, sometimes missing even the book’s name, never you mind punctuation! So every time we…

Writing yet another review for a book by Catherine Ryan Hyde makes me feel dejavu. Every couple of months a new book of hers comes out, I instantly grab it despite any other review commitments, and I never regret it. So far, all her books have just been so good that I can’t resist reading them as soon as possible.…

As an author, have you ever emailed a reviewer for a potential book review? Or maybe you’ve received a review request as a book blogger? If you’ve been on either end of this deal, you’ll know that writing a good book submission email is quite a hard thing to navigate. If I’m honest with you, as a blogger, 70% of the…
