I feel like I’ve been living in the young adult novel world for most of the summer, but truthfully I don’t mind it. They’re easy and most that I’ve picked are quite good, and that includes the latest, Call It What You Want written by Brigid Kemmerer.

Book Review: No Exit by Taylor Adams
I was a super champ and finished another book in a relatively short amount of time (for me)! After the If I Run trilogy, I decided to stick with the high stakes running and picked up No Exit by Taylor Adams. Even though the cover art gave away that this book took place during the dead of winter, it was a refreshing surprise as I read it by the pool during a humid, 90-plus degree weekend!
Read moreBook Trilogy Review: If I Run by Terri Blackstock
In the past month, I’ve managed to get back into the swing of reading (by the pool anyways), and have finished Terri Blackstock’s If I Run trilogy. I bought the first novel for cheap at a bookstore, and I thought it was pretty intriguing and not a super taxing read, so I decided to continue on. Truthfully, when I looked up Terri Blackstock to see what the other novels were called, I was surprised to discover that she is a Christian author, mainly because faith was discussed so little throughout the first book.
Read moreBook Review: Hidden Bodies by Caroline Kepnes
Over the weekend, I finally finished Hidden Bodies, the sequel to You, by Caroline Kepnes. I’d been putting off this book for a while mainly because I read the book very shortly after finishing the television series after it originally aired on Lifetime. I just felt like I wanted to take a breather before jumping back into the world of Joe. Based on how season one of the show ended verses how the book ended, I do wonder if the second season will follow Hidden Bodies plot at all.
Read moreBook Review: We Know It Was You
I decided to regress on this last book I read, and went into the young adult genre. I also got it bargain-priced at a local book store, so I really can’t complain. We Know It Was You by Maggie Thrash was sort of all over the place and not in a good way.
Read moreBook Review: The Last Time I Lied by Riley Sager
Hot off the heels of reading Final Girls by Riley Sager, I decided to read his next novel, The Last Time I Lied. Similar in cadence and told again from the female perspective, I really enjoyed this work, too!
Read moreBook Review: Final Girls by Riley Sager
The other day I finished up the thriller, Final Girls, written by Riley Sager, and the long and short of it was that I loved it! Just the title alone had me hooked. It immediately made me think of the 2015 movie Final Girl starring Abigail Breslin, although I knew they wouldn’t be the same. But still, cinematic quality title for sure.
Read moreBook Review: The Woman Inside by E.G. Scott
I’ve been a bit behind on the reading front…at least the reviewing of it anyways. A few weeks ago I finished the twisty thriller, The Woman Inside, written by a pair of authors using the pen name of E.G. Scott. If you’ve liked thrillers like Gone Girl, Woman in the Window, or Girl on the Train, then I’d say you’ll really enjoy this pair’s debut novel.
Read moreBook Review: Holding Up the Universe
After reading the second installment of The Magicians, I wanted something light and easier to read. Thinking back to what I’d read in the past year, I remembered how amazing the book All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven was, so I decided to see what else she had in her catalog. With that research, I stumbled upon her 2016 novel, Holding Up the Universe. While not as devastating as All the Bright Places, this book still hit me in my feels.
Read moreBook Review: The Magician King
I think after almost a year I finally got around to reading the second book in The Magicians trilogy, The Magician King. Holy hell was this a slow read. Despite it being better than the first, it still took me a good while to finish, and I’m not particularly looking forward to reading the last installment. But I’m going to finish it because I feel like I have to if I want to watch the show.
