My Most Anticipated Reads of 2019
My most anticipated reads of 2019! These are books from some of my favorite authors, some auto-buy authors, who happen to have books coming out next year. Some are sophomore authors who had really strong debuts and others are some old favorites. Now this is mainly for the first half of the year. Maybe I’ll do another post highlighting the second half of the year in a few months. Hope you enjoy!Continue reading “My Most Anticipated Reads of 2019”

YA Books and Their Adaptations
So this should have gone up in August, but with the stress of packing and moving, it’s only getting up now.
Apparently, 2018 is the year of the YA adaptations, and for the most part they have been pretty incredible. Love, Simon set the precedent, after years of mediocre adaptations that established a stereotype when it comes to this “genre” of movie.
Summer Book Series Vol. 3
There’s still a month left of summer (only a month?!?) and I wanted to do one last entry in my Summer Book Series. There’s not much of a theme for this summer list, but I did try to not feature books that I’ve previously posted about on here before. Honestly, most of my favorites are in my first summer book post highlighting Sarah Dessen, Emery Lord, and Morgan Matson, but here are a few of my other favorites.
Summer Book Series Vol. 2
I LOVE travel YA books: road trips, trips abroad, even just the short little escape a few hours away from home. I live vicariously through these characters because I’ve never had the luxury to go on these kind of trips. Most of these type of books are set during the summer because what time is more alluring than the three months that make up a summer vacation. The sun stays out longer, the heat burning your skin as you travel through unknown territory—it just screams adventure and possibility. So! Here are a few of my favorite YA Summer Travel Recommendations:
