Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell!
My second Rainbow Rowell book. My first was Eleanor and Park. I liked this one slightly better than Eleanor and Park. I felt like I meshed with these characters better. However, let's talk a little bit about this. So this follows Cather (Cath) who is in her freshman year of college. She has a twin … Continue reading Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell!

The Afterlife of Holly Chase by Cynthia Hand!

This is a different take on the classic story, A Christmas Carol. This follows Holly, who was a pretty terrible human being. One Christmas Eve, she … Continue reading The Afterlife of Holly Chase by Cynthia Hand!
The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson!
This is the second novel in the Mistborn universe. I absolutely LOVED Mistborn. It was my first Brandon Sanderson novel. I gave it 5 stars. I was super excited to read the sequel, but reading big books also gives me anxiety. So, this book definitely gets mixed reviews. It is a lot slower paced than … Continue reading The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson!
