Genre: Science Fiction, Dystopian Word Count: 12,470 Average Goodreads Rating: 4.54/5 stars My rating: 3/5 stars To be honest, I automatically started to dislike this book because “Dreams” is spelled with a Z.

Her Wicked Ways
Genre: Historical Word Count: 101, 790 Average Goodreads Rating: 3.62/ 5 stars My rating: 4/ 5 stars This book has a slightly shaky start, like most romance novels do, but it pulls me in pretty quickly.

Book Review: Telling Jase
Genre: Contemporary, LGBTQ My rating: 4/5 stars Jase grinned, “you were about to tell me why you always hated Marcus?” Sean closed his eyes. Truth, he reminded himself. He took a few deep breaths. “I envied him, Jase.” “What? Why?” Truth, truth, truth. “Because he got to have you, and I didn’t. Because I wanted…
3 Best YouTube Playlists for Background Music While Reading
It’s so easy to get distracted when you’re reading. Maybe someone has the TV too loud, or they’re talking, or maybe you’ve got a song stuck in your head that drowns out the words on the page. (This dirty look is for you, Icona Pop.) White noise can sometimes help, but another thing that works…
