Where I Live by Brenda Rufener sounds like such an original story. I don’t think I’ve ever read a book with a homeless main character, and I love how she is the school blog editor. This book sounds like it will be pretty suspenseful, and I can’t wait for its publication in February! Continue reading
Wonder is a one-of-a-kind book that deals with bullying in a way that is honest, raw, and eye-opening.

Title: Snow in Love
Welcome to Alaska!
A special welcome to my boyfriend, Jake, the cutest tourist I've ever met!
Explore our natural beauties and untouched wilderness.
Jake and I like to hike our great (romantic!) nature trails. . . .
Enjoy our perfect skiing and snowboarding conditions.
Be sure to catch Will Parker doing his snowboarding tricks. He makes all the girls in town melt. (Except for me. Who needs Will when you've got Jake?)

Get ready for a vacation you'll never forget!
Snow in Love by Claire Ray is a cute and festive story that also has a fair bit of drama. The Alaskan setting is absolutely perfect, and I enjoyed the relatable main character. This is a cute and fluffy holiday read that is he perfect thing to curl up with this winter. Continue reading
Instructions for a Secondhand Heart by Tamsyn Murray has an enjoyable concept, but the characterization is lacking. I also found certain aspects of the book to be kind of creepy, and I didn’t enjoy the romance. This book had so much potential, but I ended up pretty disappointed. Continue reading
