Review: All the Crooked Saints
4.5 out of 5 stars Wacky, wry, and wonderful, All the Crooked Saints is more Tom Robbins-lite than young adult, and satisfies on every level. Goodreads.com: All the Crooked Saints, by Maggie Stiefvater I say this with love: Maggie Stievater's books are weird.

I don't mean dusting off Jace & Clary … Continue reading Review: This Shattered World

DNF: Alex and Eliza
DNF (Did Not Finish) #1 of 2019 Goodreads.com: Alex and Eliza, by Melissa de la Cruz (Alex and Eliza #1) I don't read a lot of realistic fiction, but I do love historical fiction, so I was moderately excited for this book.
