Where Only Storms Grow Review: While loads of sources will tell you about the millions of people who left their farms during the Dust Bowl, this novel focuses on a fictional family who stayed. It is great for historical fiction lovers and super accessible for younger readers.
Dead Good Detectives Review: Ghost stories have always held a special place in my heart, especially in middle grade fiction. So when I heard about Dead Good Detectives, which features not only ghosts but also pirates, witches, and a treasure hunt, you know it went on my TBR immediately.
Welcome to my book review for Wishing Well, Wishing Well by Jubilee Cho. Thank you to NetGalley and Atthis Arts
The Grace of Wild Things Review: This book was initially described to me as “Anne of Green Gables but with witches and magic.” And that’s a top-notch sales pitch if I’ve ever heard one! This novel easily lives up to the classic tale from which it pulls inspiration.
Holy Ground Review: This book is insightful and informative in a way that is both refreshing and deeply meaningful. Holy Ground is a compelling and deeply personal exploration of how race and socio-economic status, among other factors, shape one’s access to a clean, healthy, and safe life.
The Midnight Library Review: I don’t usually like to write negative reviews, but I also believe it’s important to speak up when a popular piece of media is so harmful. For a book that talks about a topic as serious as depression, this was a massive disappointment.
Educated Review: Born into a Mormon survivalist family, Westover never entered a classroom (or doctor’s office) until she was 17. Knowing nothing about world history or other essentials, her college admittance is more than a new chapter: it’s an opening into a world far bigger than she ever imagined.
Yellowface by R.F. Kuang Review: When famous writer Athena Liu died, June Hayward didn’t mean to steal her unpublished manuscript… or so she claims. It all just happened in a fit of festering jealousy over Athena’s success. How far will June take this lie?
Funny Story Review: Daphne Vincent had it all: a loving fiancĂ©, a big house, a dream job as a children’s librarian… until her “loving fiancĂ©” cheated on her. Stranded, friendless, and brokenhearted, now she has to find her footing in and discover who she is outside of her engagement.
Replica Duology Review: Lyra has spent her life in a secretive facility home to human clones and strict rules. When Lyra narrowly survives an attack on the institute, she launches into the outside world to learn more about what it means to be a replica in a world of humans.
