The Square Root of Summer by Harriet Reuter Hapgood | Review + Blog Tour

Hi guys, today I’m excited to be part of the Canadian Blog Tour for The Square Root of Summer by Harriet Reuter Hapgood. This is a really unusual young adult novel, chock full of science and heartbreak, but with beautiful and quirky writing. Read on for a short Q&A with Harriet (about Dawson’s Creek, because Harriet did her Ph.D on it!), and then my review! Who is your favorite Dawson’s Creek character and why? Harriet Reuter Hapgood: Jen Lindley. Without question. I loved her from the get-go. She had such an awful time of it – sexualized way too young, […]

5 Underappreciated Book Blogs To Follow [Blog Friends Forever Tour]

Before I was a book blogger, I was an insane reader of blogs – hundred of book blogs, but also fashion, photography, DIY, design and more. At the height of my obsession, I was writing insanely long comments on people’s blogs, and after awhile, I was like, “why don’t I just publish this myself?” I decided to become a book blogger because the book community was so inviting and welcoming. Even though I felt it was already saturated, I just really wanted a stronger way to connect to people. I feel so lucky that in the three years since I started […]

Hey guys, today I’m excited to be part of the official The Art of Getting Stared At Blog Tour!
