The Cruel Prince

Feb 16, 2018 | Olivia
The Cruel Prince by Holly Black |

I wanted to love this book. It had been hyped and talked about all over Bookstagram. The cover is pretty, it was from a NYT bestselling author. What could go wrong?

Renegades

Jan 16, 2018 | Olivia
Renegades by Marissa Meyer |

So I’m going to be honest, I’ve never read anything else Melissa Meyers has written. I know, I hear you, “But what about the Lunar Chronicles?!” Listen, I’ve heard amazing things, but it’s at the point where there are so many of them that I wonder if I have it in me. Maybe one day. In the meantime, when I found out she was releasing a new series, I saw it as the perfect opportunity to read some of Meyers work. Was I glad I did?

The Dark Intercept

Dec 7, 2017 | Sarah
The Dark Intercept by Julia Keller |

A gripping read; The Dark Intercept is a light science fiction novel, with elements of mystery, romance, and action. A great book if you want to devour a book in one sitting, or if you need a quick pallet cleanser between heavier reads.

After Dark

Nov 15, 2017 | Sarah
After Dark by Haruki Murakami |

Curious about the Murakami-hype but unwilling to commit to the 600-page The Wind Up Bird Chronicles or the 900-page IQ84 trilogy – well, After Dark is the perfect Murakami starter. This novel feels like a YA version of Murakami; all the style and quirky characters in an accessible and small package. Also, the main character, Mari Asai is actually a teenager! Be warned, the novel does have heavy moments, but it’s really a great introduction to this iconic Japanese author.
