About What I Read
Some of my favorite authors are Megan Whalen Turner, Libba Bray, Naomi Novik, Kristen Cashore, Nina LaCour, Patrick Ness, and Morgan Matson.
I love everything YA, especially anything fantasy and contemporary. I’m currently trying to expand my reading horizons, putting a massive focus on reading diverse books in 2017. I haven’t always been perfect, but my 2017 resolution is to read diversely, call out problematic books, and elevate the voices of those who know better than me.
About This Blog
I’ll post book reviews, writing samples, rants about my life, and anything in between here. The header image, as well as the logos for some of my tags/memes were created by me (if they match the header stylistically).
I didn’t mean to like the color orange, but my first theme forced me to use it, and I decided to embrace it when I went to make my custom header and logos.
Thanks for the follow! Glad to see that high schoolers still read outside of school in spite of all the world’s technology. Rock on and I look forward to reading your writing and your reviews. From one student (grad student) to another – WRITE ON!

Still don’t really believe you’re a high school student. If it’s true, then you have too much writing talent to do anything BUT writing. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. 😉 Seriously, you’ve got game. Keep playing.

If I’m not a high school student, then I’ve been showing up to the wrong school for the last the years 😉 That would be a drag.
Thank you so much. I will definitely keep playing the game.

Hey, I have tagged you in ‘the intergalactic book tag’. But if you don’t feel like doing it or are too busy, don’t worry! 🙂 Loved your review on Rebelle Belle by the way, I just finished this awfully boring book I have been putting of for ages, so naturally I am up for a fun and light read right now (and it seems like Rebelle Belle will do the job!).

Thanks! I’ll definitely do the tag (though it might take a little while for me to get to it) 🙂

Love your blog so much!! Your reviews are on point, I have read some of the books you talk about and have had similar thoughts on them. I am publishing my first book in July 2016. A young-adult romance novel. A frivolous read lol. I created my wordpress recently to document the rest of my journey to publishing. I’d love to sent you my book for a review when it comes out :). Also do you have any tips for gaining followers? I’d love to get the word out about my book!
thank you and keep being amazing 🙂

Okay, so let me start with saying, HOW BEAUTIFUL IS YOUR BLOG?! I adore it! I’m in a gap year currently before heading off to study journalism, so I thought I’d start my blog as little bit of experience, and combine it with my one true love, books, it would be ace if you could check it out! Thank you!:)
