Rating: 3.5 / 5 I received THE LOVE CURSE OF MELODY MCINTYRE by Robin Talley in my YA Once Upon a Book Club box.

The… Continue reading THE LOVE CURSE OF MELODY MCINTYRE by Robin Talley
THE CALL OF THE WILD By Jack London
Rating: 3.5 / 5 THE CALL OF THE WILD by Jack London was the January pick for the #classicsbuddyread that I help to host on Bookstagram. Set in the Alaskan Klondike where survival is tough, we thought this one seemed appropriate to start off a new year after surviving 2020! THE CALL OF THE WILD… Continue reading THE CALL OF THE WILD By Jack London
MISERY by Stephen King
Rating: 4.5 / 5 MISERY by Stephen King was the January pick for the #constantreadersbookclub on Instagram. This was a reread for me, so I picked up the audio from the library.

THE WICKED DEEP is set in… Continue reading THE WICKED DEEP by Shea Ernshaw

MISS METEOR by Tehlor Kay Mejia and Anna-Marie McLemore
Rating: 4 / 5 I received MISS METEOR by Tehlor Kay Mejia and Anna-Marie McLemore in my YA Once Upon a Book Club box. This wasn't a book I was familiar with, but it sounded like fun! MISS METEOR takes place in a small town named for the meteor that crashed to earth nearby. What… Continue reading MISS METEOR by Tehlor Kay Mejia and Anna-Marie McLemore
PIRANESI by Susanna Clarke
Rating: 4 / 5 PIRANESI was a Book of the Month pick for me several months back, but it sat on my shelf without being picked up. It showed up on a list of suggested reads for a Popsugar Reading Challenge prompt which provided the perfect opportunity to add it to my TBR! PIRANESI is… Continue reading PIRANESI by Susanna Clarke
PRETTY THINGS by Janelle Brown
Rating: 4.5 / 5 I picked up a copy of PRETTY THINGS by Janelle Brown when my friend Katie @katieneedsabiggerbookshelf recommended it. When another friend Des @theboozy.reader announced this as her January #theboozybuddyread pick, I knew I had to squeeze one more buddy read into my packed TBR! PRETTY THINGS gives us two alternating points… Continue reading PRETTY THINGS by Janelle Brown
