OMY. Katie Cook hit it out of the park again. This series has serious become such a comfort read to me. It is full of adventure, humor, and most importantly adorable little plant ghosties😍😍😍

OMG. Ryan is the ultimate Book Boyfriend. A kind caring man who listens, puts the people he loves first, and has an appreciation for a good love story. Josie is such a strong FMC, and the author's portrayal of how parental abandonment can rarely mess with your head, life, and relationships as an adult was spot on. The book is so sweet and hope with just the right amount of spice 🔥

Yet another cozy, sweet romance from Alexandra Kiley. Having read her previous book I was excited to dive back into this family and world she had created. The build up of the second chance alongside the jumps back and forth in time were handled extremely well, making them easy to follow.

An eye-opening book presented in a gentle way. The author studies the origins of many "wellness" practices and how they often get watered down due to capitalism til they have no true benefits to anyone but the person making the money off of them. It definitely causes you to be more studious about what you do and don't do for your health and where you get your information from.

Thank you to Knopf for the ARC.

As a fellow "too sensitive" kid I found this books so relatable. Feeling everything can be such a double edged sword, because while it makes you more empathic, and often kind, it also hurts a lot until you learn how to filter things a little. Cassie is such a strong girl going through the awkward and at times heartbreaking "4th grade curse" where friendships starting to change, while also juggling her place in a large family that is struggling financially. Her coping mechanism of daydreaming helps her find the wonder and joy in her world.

An absolutely beautiful story about how we don't need magic to be a good helper. I love the inclusivity in this book with a non-gendered protagonist and a gay couple. It is treated perfectly for the age group. This early chapter book has such a wonderful message about helping those around us and meeting them where they are.

Thank you to Random House Books for Young Readers for the e-ARC.

This is one of those books that spans genres. It is a thrilling ride from beginning to end and full of heart and intrigue. The character development for main character Lucy is wonderful, as she embarks on this adventure of becoming the "bearer of bad news" just a time when she truly needed to major change in her life. Definitely would recommend it for those who are historical readers as well as mystery.

Thank you to Gallery Books for the ARC!

A beautiful friends-lovers YA romance about finding your place in the world. I loved the Disability Representation in this book as well, and how it was handle. It wasn't treated as a major plot point or the main character's whole personality, but helped to give insight to who the main character was and who she wanted to be. 

Thank you to Netgalley and St Martin's Press for the ARC.

Another awesome edition to the series. I love how Kat and Beetle found their way and were empowered to stand in who they are in this book. Their character arcs were wonderful. Also penny finding her long lost body was beautiful. I hope this is not the last of this series.
