About Me

Hi! My name is Michelle and I'm just your average nerd with a blog about books. 

If it isn't obvious,  I love books. I typically dwell within the young adult fiction realm but I do enjoy the occasional adult and middle grade read. My favorite books include I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson, Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan, the Shades of Magic trilogy by V. E. Schwab, the Illuminar Trilogy by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff, the Daughter of Smoke and Bone Trilogy by Laini Taylor, and a bunch of other trilogies I don't have time to name right now. 

When I'm not reading I'm usually napping, studying ( a.k.a. bingeing Netflix with a textbook in my lap :), or doing martial arts. If any of you do these things lets chat!

Some of my favorite quotes are 

"Meeting your soul mate is like walking into a house you've been in before - you will recognize the furniture, the pictures on the wall, the books on the shelves, the contents of drawers: You could find your way around in the dark if you had to."
- Jandy Nelson, I'll Give You the Sun

 " I wondered if my smile was as big as hers. Maybe as big. But not as beautiful."
- Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe

"I gave up practically the whole world for you," I tell him, walking through the front door of my own love story. "The sun, stars, ocean, trees, everything, I gave it all up for you."
- Jandy Nelson, I'll Give You the Sun

Vicious by V. E. Schwab

Vicious Photo Credit: Barnes and Noble     Synopsis  Victor and Eli started out as college roommates—brilliant, arrogant, lonely boys who recognized the same sharpness and ambition in each other. In their senior year, a shared research interest in adrenaline, near-death experiences, and seemingly supernatural events reveals an intriguing possibility: that under the right conditions, someone could develop extraordinary abilities. But when their thesis moves from the academic to the experimental, things go horribly wrong.  Ten years later, Victor breaks out of prison, determined to catch up to his old friend (now foe), aided by a young girl whose reserved nature obscures a stunning ability. Meanwhile, Eli is on a mission to eradicate every other super-powered person that he can find—aside from his sidekick, an enigmatic woman with an unbreakable will. Armed with terrible power on both sides, driven by the memory of betrayal and loss, the archnemeses hav...

The Witch Doesn't Burn In This One by Amanda Lovelace

The Witch Doesn't Burn  In This One  Photo Credit: Target Synopsis : The witch: supernaturally powerful, inscrutably independent, and now—indestructible. These moving, relatable poems encourage resilience and embolden women to take control of their own stories. Enemies try to judge, oppress, and marginalize her, but the witch doesn’t burn in this one.   Review : The Witch Doesn't Burn In This One is an important and empowering poetry collection. It is a true, raw, and heartfelt depiction of what it is like living as a woman in this  broken and beautiful  world. I have been hearing so many people talking about this collection. How its one of their new favorites or it made them cry and I really wanted to be able to say that too. Sadly, I just couldn't.  I don't have much to say about this collection. I finished it really quickly. I didn't absolutely love any of the poems, but as a female living in the twenty-first ce...

Noah draws constantly and is falling in love with the charismatic boy next door, while daredevil Jude wears red-red lipstick, cliff-dives, and does all the talking for both of them. Years later, they are barely speaking. Something has happened to change the twins in different yet equally devastating ways . . . but then Jude meets an intriguing, irresistible boy and a mysterious new mentor. The early years are Noah’s to tell; the later years are Jude’s.

This radiant, award-winning novel from the acclaimed author of The Sky Is Everywhere will leave you breathless and teary and laughing—often all at once. Review OK... WOOOoOOooooOw so I started this review I believe about one year ago after my third go-around of this ...
