One of my favorite things to do on this blog is to feature other book bloggers and bring attention to some of the amazing things they've written themselves. And I know we all typically do our own monthly wrap ups (I completely fell apart on mine last year, I'll be honest) where we talk…
A Whole New World [Liz Braswell]; Throwback Thursday
I recently got my hands on a copy of Part of Your World by Liz Braswell, an author who has spent quite a bit of time rewriting and working popular Disney film stories into what she calls "twisted tales." I've noticed, after having looked at and read several of the books she's written in this collection,…
The Birds, the Bees, and You, and Me [Olivia Hinebaugh]; 2019 YA Releases

Though I can't exactly recall…
