I would like, first and foremost, to profusely thank the Fantastic Flying Book Club and HarperCollins for my review copy of The Hand on the Wall! I have such affection and love for this series, and actually screamed a little when the opportunity to review this grand finale came across my inbox. I am one of many stops on this blog tour – please check on all of my bloggy neighbors here to see the fun and shenanigans they are getting into…
Why have I read so many books so far this year, thus assuring my own self-destruction by July? The world may never know. That said, I have had Eight Perfect Murders by Peter Swanson on my radar for a while now, and so I figured I should read something of his first to ensure I have a taste for his writing. The Kind Worth Killing starts off in an airport, and since I’m flying this weekend and have already read a book about…
Today, I am excited to post my stop on the blog tour for Lie to Me by Kaitlin Ward!

She studied animal science at Cornell University and cofounded the well-known blog YA Highway. She is also the author of Where She Fell, Girl in a Bad Place, and Bleeding Earth. Find her on…
I detest what my friends sweetly refer to as “kissing books.” If it’s a book where the main focus is a romance, I have whatever accounts for “less than 0% interest” in it. Because of this, I have never had any interest in Colleen Hoover because her books are … well, anyone who is into them will tell you they’re spicy at best. But I kept hearing that Verity was different and worth my time. I threw it on my Amazon…

Rating: Applicable PopSugar 2020 Prompts: A book that passes the Bechdel test, a book about or by a woman in STEM, a book by a WOC How I’d Describe This Book to a Friend Kiera is a pretty amazing high school student. She’s smart, talented, and has big plans to…
Well, I certainly selected a whopper for my first read of 2020. I’m not sure if there will be any coming back from the book hangover this one is going to induce, but it was worth every heart-wrenching second. Rating: Applicable PopSugar 2020 Prompts: A book that’s published in 2020, a bildungsroman, a book with a bird on the cover How I’d Describe This Book to a Friend Dear Edward is the story of a twelve year old boy who…
This book is damn near impossible for me to review because almost anything I say can be construed as a spoiler. Sometimes, you pick up a thriller and you want to tell the world about it but you just can’t say more than what is on the flap. This is one of those times. It’s December, and I shan’t apologize for using this GIF. Rating: How I’d Describe This Book to a Friend I would probably make some sort of…
It is no secret that I adore Jennifer Hillier’s writing. I read Jar of Hearts last April, and it remains one of my favorite thrillers, and is one I always recommend when someone seeks thriller recommendations from me. Everything I love in a thriller wrapped up in one neat, tight package that I devoured. So when I saw her latest novel, Little Secrets, available on NetGalley I slammed that request button and immediately dusted off my Kindle to read it. I am…
