Book Reviews

Time is precious and I hate wasting it on books that aren’t stellar. Posting these book reviews is my attempt to help make sure you don’t waste your time. I always attempt to make my book reviews fair. I focus on the elements of the story and whether they were executed well, instead of my personal preference. I specialize in Young Adult book reviews, but there are sprinkles of multiple genres and age ranges in this list.

Need ideas for what to read next? Visit my Instagram to get some suggestions.

Unless otherwise noted in the book review, I purchased these books myself and gave honest book reviews to post on my website. In these cases, I was not asked by author or publisher to post a review.
