Hello lovelies! Today, I am lucky enough to be participating on the blog tour for In the Role of Brie Hutchens..., which is officially one of my new favorite middle grade books.

Cracked Up to Be by Courtney Summers | A Raw and Honest Debut (ARC Review)

Difficult to read at times, but incredibly well-written, Cracked Up to Be is raw and powerful and heart-breaking.

Foul is Fair by Hannah Capin | A Feminist Macbeth Retelling (Blog Tour Review & Excerpt)

Hello everyone! I am lucky enough to be joining the blog tour today for Foul is Fair by Hannah Capin. This book, a clever retelling of Shakespeare's Macbeth, is SO good, and I can't wait to share my thoughts with you in this review.

The Journal Writer’s Companion by Alyss Thomas (Book Review)

Today's post combines both of my true loves: reading and bullet journaling. The Journal Writer's Companion is a book that guides the reader through the journaling process (not just bullet journaling, though it is one of the many types that are talked about) with lots of explanations, prompts, and expertise.

How to Be Remy Cameron by Julian Winters | Identity, Family, & the Essay of Doom (ARC Review)

How to Be Remy Cameron is a well-written, diverse novel that explores the complex topic of identity through the lens of a teenage boy trying to figure out how to write his college essay.

Fake It Till You Break It by Jenn P. Nguyen | Fake Dating with Disappointing Execution (ARC Review)

A while back, I was a part of the blog tour for Fake It Till You Break It, and unfortunately, I was not a huge fan of the book. Now that the tour's been over for a while, I'll be sharing some thoughts on why it didn't work for me.

She’s the Worst by Lauren Spieller | Light Read About Sisters, but Lacks Depth (Blog Tour Review + GIVEAWAY)

She's the Worst is a fun romp through LA that tells a story of sisters reconnecting over the course of (for the most part) one day. I felt that it was lacking in some areas, which prevented me from rating it higher than three stars, but I still found this contemporary novel fairly enjoyable.
