The Truly Devious case—an unsolved kidnapping and triple murder that rocked Ellingham Academy in 1936—has consumed Stevie for years. It’s the very reason she came to the academy. But then her classmate was murdered, and her parents quickly pull her out of school. For her safety, they say. She must move past this obsession with … Continue reading Review: The Vanishing Stair
Ellingham Academy is a famous private school in Vermont for the brightest thinkers, inventors, and artists. It was founded by Albert Ellingham, an early twentieth century tycoon, who wanted to make a wonderful place full of riddles, twisting pathways, and gardens. “A place,” he said, “where learning is a game.” Shortly after the school opened, … Continue reading Review: Truly Devious

So when her sister inadvertently gives … Continue reading Review: The Code for Love and Heartbreak
Congratulations everyone! We finished the fifth year of 2020! While I know everything won't magically get better when the clock hits midnight, it's nice to think that 2021 is a fresh start. New year, new goals (well, reading goals), and honestly, I'm just a fan of odd numbered years. Maybe because my birthday is literally … Continue reading December Wrap Up
I'm one of those people who loves rereading books. After all, it's not like books are meant to be read once, and when you really love a book, why wouldn't you want to revisit it at some point in your life? I like to revisit Harry Potter every now and then because it brings a … Continue reading Books I’d Like to Revisit
"I refuse to live a life of regret. I refuse to hope things will get better in the future when I have complete control over making them the best possible right here and now. We have one life – and none of us knows how long our life will be or what will become of … Continue reading Review: A Work in Progress

It took a while, but I finally got my reading mojo back! Now I'm in the mood to read all the books, but have little time to read as many as I'm wanting to. I do think I'll be able to get a decent amount in, especially because December means that I read children's Christmas … Continue reading November Wrap Up
Hello and Happy December everyone! Despite all that's going on in the world, I'm actually excited for the Christmas season, probably because it's the spirit of giving that's taking over right now. I'm actually having a hard time limiting myself on what I'm gifting my friends and family because, ya know, I still have bills … Continue reading Reindeer Readathon: TBR Prospects
I did a post like this last year with a small list of books. This year I thought it would be nice to sort of redo my post, but include more books. Books are always a great gift, as long as the person actually does like to read, and it's nice to know a person … Continue reading 10 Books I’d Give as a Gift
There have always been recurring issues that all librarians deal with, better known as 'Librarian Problems,' however with COVID being a thing, we have more specific problems during this pandemic that can set us a little more on edge. A lot of the problems I've seen personally in the library have been voiced on Twitter … Continue reading Librarian Problems: COVID Edition
What wonderful about readers is that we all have different tastes. I mean, the world would be pretty boring if we all liked the same stuff, right? Personally, I like getting recommendations from other people, whether we have the same taste or not. Especially because sometimes those "out of place" recommendations tend to end up … Continue reading Favorite Underrated Books
My favorite author has once again pulled off another eventful travel story, this time taking place in Greece! Liv's father left when she was eight years old, so she doesn't have many good memories with him - only the ones where they planned to one day discover the lost city of Atlantis. Now, eight years … Continue reading ARC Review: Love & Olives
One thing I learned in October... I cannot make potential TBR lists for the month because those end up being my worst reading months. Once again, I only got through one book, while trying to read another. So for the next two months, I'm just reading whatever I feel like reading... no themes, no planned … Continue reading October Wrap Up
I tried doing this TBR post thing back in August, but then I succumbed to a reading slump and only finished one book that month. However, I am in more of a reading mood, especially with so many new books coming out these next few months, so I think a themed TBR might work. What … Continue reading My Potential October TBR
