Cinderella Book Tag!

I’m woefully bad at getting to book tags, but after being tagged by Tiffany @ About to Read (the creator of the book tag) and Rachel @ Hello Chelly, I knew I had to get to this one! Evil Stepsisters: a book with characters you just hate Ugh, everyone in Royally Lost by Angie Stanton. Everyone was annoying, I could’t even finish the book. Prince Charming: a book with a gentleman Paul in A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray. There’s nothing sexier or more gentlemanly than the quiet love between him and Margaret. Cinderella: a character that is […]

Top Ten Tuesday: Authors I’ve Read The Most Books From

This week’s TTT is all about the authors you’ve read the most books from.

Waiting on Wednesday: Young Widows Club by Alexandra Coutts

Waiting on Wednesday: Young Widows Club by Alexandra Coutts

I’ve been desperate for this book ever since I heard about it. The premise sounds so original: it deals with grief from the perspective of teen widows. Is it weird and wrong that I hope it includes the perspective of a teen whose husband went to war? I feel like that’s a story I want to read in YA. I’m not usually into super mopey books, but I think we could all learn a lot from the women in this book. Is Young Widows Club on your TBR? What are you waiting for this week? Let me know and I’ll […]
