The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
I keep a book journal. In it, I keep track of everything I read, the dates on which I cracked it open and slammed it shut, give it a rating out of five stars, and write a few lines. It was my blog before I started my blog. I read The Hate U Give in one…

The Mortal Instruments+ by Cassandra Clare
So . . . it’s the end of March, officially spring already, and I’m just now diving into this year’s book challenge (and no—I still haven’t finished 2016). But boy, did I jump in with a vengeance. Now, you may remember that when we came up with this year’s challenge, Rosie and I decided that we…

And seriously, I can’t get over how perfect this is: “Once, when Adam…

Blue Lily, Lily Blue by Maggie Stiefvater
I heart Ronan. These books are just fantastic. And Stiefvater’s prose never ceases to impress. Another for no. 2 on my challenge.
