A Curse So Dark and Lonely

Do you enjoy YA novels? Fairy Tales? Re-tellings of beloved classics? What about Beauty and the Beast? If you answered yes, have I got the book for you!

This book had me hooked after the first few chapters. My FAVORITE part of it, was the heroine. You know how usually in these Beauty and the Beast stories the girl is beautiful, kind, perfect in every way? Harper has cerebral palsy, an absent father, a dying mother, a brother that has turned to some shady people to keep their family together... so, when she is essentially kidnapped and taken into an alternate universe, she is NOT happy. She is fierce, determined, and is not making it easy for Prince Rhen to break his curse.

The book was really fun and Brigid Kemmerer made the story her own which I loved. So, if you're looking for a fresh take on an old fairy tale, add this to your "to read" list for 2020! Already read it? Comment below with your thoughts.

A Review of "Educated" by Tara Westover

Educated  by Tara Westover is a memoir about the author's childhood growing up in a survivalist family in rural Idaho. Her father, being anti-establishment, never sent her to school and her homeschooling consisted of finding books to read to herself around the house. At 17, she studies for and takes the ACT, is accepted to Brigham Young University, and from there goes on to earn a doctorate at Cambridge. It is a story of overcoming one's trials and pushing through to achieve what shouldn't have been possible. Reviewing a memoir is difficult, because while there are parts of the story you may dislike, you can't fault them for being what happened to the best of the author's memory. This book was extremely well written. It is clear that the author is well read and well educated in the way she presents the story. There were times, though, where she was quoting her mother or sister from emails that were written and she changed their verbiage completely to match her...

All the Apps a Reader NEEDS

Today I bring you the 5 apps that every reader needs! Are you super attached to your paperbacks? Do you love books, but feel like you're spending too much money on your favorite reads? Did you know that you can check out ebooks and audiobooks for FREE from your library and have them available on your eReader AND phone?! Do you wish someone knew your taste in books well enough to give you AWESOME recommendations? What you need to begin: a smart phone, an eReader/ tablet (my favorite is the Kindle), and a library card! Seriously, if you don't have a library card, you need to stop reading right now and GO GET ONE!!! The Kindle App Whether or not you have a Kindle, you should be able to download the Kindle app. It stores all of your ebooks. It allows you to change the reading settings, size of font, color of font, etc. My favorite part, though, is that I can read an eBook on my Kindle, and then later if I pick up my phone and open my Kindle App, it goes to the exact pag...

Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough

Oh. My. Gosssshhhhhh. You guys. I finished this book a week ago and I am still reeling. You know I love me a good suspense thriller novel, but even more specifically, give me all the psychological  thrillers. Is that weird? I just think it is brilliant when a book can totally mess with my mind. If you agree... stop everything you are doing and go find a copy of Behind Her Eyes  by Sarah Pinborough. Shook. Mindblown. What just happened?! I pride myself on usually being able to guess a twist before it happens and I thought I had this book all figured out. The twists are neverending and amazing. But. That LAST CHAPTER!!! I think my jaw dropped to the floor! I don't like giving anything away, so no spoilers, but I need everyone to go and read it. After you do, come back and message me because you will be freaking out. Promise.
