The Witch of Willow Hall: Witches, Romance, and Plenty of Twists and Turns

This book was an absolutely wild ride for me. There was one emotional twist after another and I was just holding on, waiting to see how it would all turn out to be okay. Witches, romance, an intense sibling rivalry, and a house that is not what it seems. Omg y'all, I've been waiting to…

Mammoth: Everything I Wanted and More

What's better than a main character who's a blogger?? lol Mammoth is a thoroughly heartwarming, lovely coming-of-age story.

Oh My Goth: Damn I Needed This

As much as I'd like to say that Oh My Goth would have helped me when I was younger, when I was in my "goth" phase, I don't know if I would have been ready to learn the lesson it's trying to get across. Reading it now feels like a breath of fresh air and…
