Review: A Vow So Bold and Deadly by Brigid Kemmerer
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re alll doing well. I am happy to say that I am officially on summer break now. My last day was on Friday and I’ve finished my first year of high school completely online. It was definitely weird, but I still had a fairly okay year. After reading the last line in A Heart So Fierce and Broken, I was so mad that I had to wait a whole year for the next one to come out. This book drove me insane. . . in a good way. Title: A Vow So Bold and DeadlyAuthor: Brigid KemmererGenre: Fantasy, Romance, Young AdultSeries: Cursebreakers #3Page Count: 408 Synopsis…

Review: A Heart So Fierce and Broken by Brigid Kemmerer
I wasn’t planning to do two reviews back-to-back, but I have a few that I’d like to get posted, so here’s another review. I started reading this book with high hopes and expectations. I loved A Curse So Dark and Lonely, and I was really excited to read the second one. Sadly, A Heart So Fierce and Broken didn’t quite live up to what I had expected it to.

Top Ten Tuesday: Books On My Spring 2021 TBR
Hello, everyone! I’m you’re doing well. It’s been about a month since I’ve done a Top Ten Tuesday, so I thought I’d do one today. You Have a Match by Emma Lord I’ve been seeing this book mentioned on a lot of people’s blogs, and the comments have been positive, so I thought I’d give it a try as well.

When Abby signs up for a DNA service, it’s mainly to give her friend and secret love interest, Leo, a nudge. After all, she knows who she is already: Avid photographer. Injury-prone tree…

International Women’s Day ~ Strong Female Characters in YA Literature
Hello, everyone! I know that International Women’s Day was two days ago, so I’m late for this, but I saw Ritz @ Living, Loving and Reading do a post like this and I thought I would do my own version. So today, I have a list of strong female characters in YA literature. Alanna of Trebond ~ The Song of the Lioness Alanna is such a great character! She’s strong and she isn’t afraid to stand up for what she believes in. She’s ambitious and doesn’t let people get in the way of what she wants to accomplish. “Alan, you seem to think we won’t like you unless you do…
