Review: The Long Walk by Stephen King writing as Richard Bachman (Spoiler Alert!)
If you wish to read a spoiler-free version of this review, check it out on my Goodreads where the spoilers are censored. The dead are orphans. No company but the silence like a moth's wing. An end to the agony of movement, to the long nightmare of going down the road. The body in peace, stillness, and order. The perfect darkness of death.
My oh my. This is by far my favorite King book out of the four that I've read. While this book is not classified as 'horror' and is consi

Review: A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas (Spoiler-Free)
3.5 stars!
My feelings about this book are complicated. I'll try to do my very best to express each and every one of them.

Review: Changeling (The Oddmire #1) by William Ritter (Spoiler-Free)
This review will be spoiler-free, but if you want to hear all of my spoilery thoughts, check out my review on Goodreads instead. Thank you so much to Alonquin Young Readers for providing me with an ARC of this for review as part of the blog tour!

Review: Never Never by Colleen Hoover and Tarryn Fischer (Spoiler-Alert)
This was a collection of three "books", so I rated each one separately as I read them. Part One: 3 stars UM that cliffhanger is just straight up rude. I wasn’t really planning on reading the sequels until I was left needing more. I’ve heard bad things about the ending of this series, but I just need to know what happens.
I enjoyed reading this as there’s an obvious question that needs to be answered. I won’t be satisfied until I get it.
The characters are kind of blah,

TBR Wheel- July
For the month of July, I will be spinning the TBR wheel another five times! I have a bunch of books that I need to prioritize this month, so it may be the case that I only get to a few of the books from this wheel. No big deal though, as these challenges are just for fun! :) Let's begin with spin number one: 5 star prediction- A Court of Thorns & Roses by Sarah J. Maas Ever since I got my friend addicted to the Folk of the Air series by Holly Black, she's been begging me to g
