Author: Livia Blackburne

New York Times bestselling author Livia Blackburne wrote her first novel while researching the neuroscience of reading at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Since then, she’s switched to full-time writing, which also involves getting into people’s heads but without the help of a 3 Tesla MRI scanner.

She is also the author of MIDNIGHT THIEF (an Indies Introduce New Voices selection), DAUGHTER OF DUSK, and ROSEMARKED (an Amazon best book of the month and YALSA Teens Top Ten Nominee).

Rosemarked by Livia Blackburne

Rosemarked by Livia Blackburne has a very intriguing concept. I love the idea of a healer teaming up with a soldier to save the world.

🐘Super excited to reread The Magician’s Eleph 🐘Super excited to reread The Magician’s Elephant before watching the new movie on Netflix this weekend! Thanks so much @penguinrandomca for the review copy. It’s one of my favourite middle grade books. ❤️
I’m super excited to share my review for ITS ALL I’m super excited to share my review for ITS ALL IN HOW YOU FALL by Sarah Henning on the blog today! 

It’s All in How You Fall by Sarah Henning combines sports with matchmaking as it follows a gymnast who must move forward after a career-ending injury. As a sucker for sports books, I loved the assortment of new sports that the main character explores, and the characters within the story have a sweet dynamic. This one left me with a smile on my face, and I would consider it a perfect feel-good summer read.

Be sure to check out my full review and favourite quotes from the book on the blog. (link in bio)

Thank you @tbrbeyondtours & @shhenning for the review copy!
