The Supervillain and Me is a playful YA novel that's just a very fun read.

For the most part, Fangirl was a book I enjoyed reading because I found a lot of myself in Cath. I'm very introverted, don't do well meeting new people, can't stand parties, and aspire to do well in school/work. Cath is much happier reading and writing her fanfiction for the Simon Snow series, which is … Continue reading Fangirl – Review
Afterimage is a book that is going to stay with me for sure! The night I finished it, I actually had dreams that related to some of the elements in the story (which I'm not going to detail because spoilers). I was hooked right from the start because Hughes wastes no time getting right into … Continue reading Afterimage – Review

Her first real relationship ended tragically, and she works for her mother's wedding planning company, which means she's seen wedding of … Continue reading Once and For All – Review
Mirror, Mirror is a retelling of the classic, Snow White. I have recently become obsessed with fairy-tale retellings and this was the first one I decided to really take a chance on.
