I am almost always down for fairy tale retellings. Seriously — if a book has just a whiff of being a retelling, I will get my hands on it, most especially if the book is young adult. So it follows that I would be BEYOND excited for Strands of Bronze And Gold by Jane Nickerson, a […]

March 15, 2013
I love finding awesome books that have flown beneath the radar and haven’t really blown the book blogging world up. Y’all, I haven’t seen a ton of reviews of How To Lead A Life Of Crime by Kirsten Miller and so didn’t quite know what to expect. Luckily, the book was like a diamond in the rough. […]
