Hello, friends! I am so excited for today's post because this is my first book review for a book that was sent to me by a publisher! I feel like I have reached a milestone as a blogger now, and I am so excited and thankful! 😄 I am working with Quercus books for this review as they sent me Rotherweird in exchange for an honest review! So, with that, onward to the book! Title: Rotherweird Author: Andrew Caldecott Publisher: Quercus Pages: 452 Publication Date: July 30, 2019 Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Synopsis The town of Rotherweird stands alone - there are no guidebooks, despite the fascinating and diverse architectural styles cramming the narrow streets, the avant garde science and offbeat customs. Cast adrift from the rest of England by Elizabeth I,  Rotherweird's independence is subject to one disturbing condition: nobody, but nobody, studies the town or its history.  For beneath the enchanting surface lurks a secret so dark that it must never be rediscove

I can't believe that is already time to move back and start my senior year! *insert terrified but excited gif here* This year I am trying something a little bit different than I have in years past. Usually, I use like half of my desk shelf space for my books at school, but this is just not very feasible as sad as that is. I really need the space for textbooks, notebooks, and miscellaneous stuff in my room! So, instead, I have decided to only take 4 physical books with me this year. To be fair, my home is only 35ish minutes away from my school, so it isn't very hard for me to trade out books as I read them. My plan is to utilize my Scribd subscription more this year. I don't know why I have never thought to do this but l

Hello, friends! It has been a hot minute since I have done a book review, but I am finally in the mood to write again! It was mostly because of this book that I got out of my blogging slump. I loved With the Fire on High so much that I really wanted to write a review, so I could fangirl over all the things I loved about it! Here is the basic info: Title: With the Fire on High Author: Elizabeth Acevedo Publisher: HarperAudio Format: Audiobook Length: 7 hours 27 minutes Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Synopsis:  With her daughter to care for and her abuela to help support, high school senior Emoni Santiago has to make the tough decisions, and do what must be done.
