It’s time for another Calendar Girls Books post, and this month our prompt is Best Book with a Mother/Daughter Relationship. And let me say, this was a tough one! I didn’t realize, until going through my ‘read’ list on Goodreads, how many of the books that I’ve read do not contain good mother-daughter relationships! So, either the… Read More Calendar Girls (May 2019): Mother’s Day: (Best Book with a Mother/Daughter Relationship)

Squad by Mariah MacCarthy (ARC Review)

April 19, 2019

This darkly comic debut novel by an award-winning playwright is like Mean Girls meets Heathers with a splash of Bring it On. Jenna Watson is a cheerleader. But it’s not some Hollywood crap. Cheerleaders are not every guy’s fantasy; they are not the “popular girls” or the “mean girls” of Marsen High School. They’re too busy for that. They’re literally just some human females trying to live their lives and do a perfect toe touch. But that all changed after Raejean stopped talking to Jenna and started hanging out with Meghan Finnegan… Read More Squad by Mariah MacCarthy (ARC Review)

Hello everyone! And welcome to my April 2019 TBR post! What are you most excited to read in April? Before I get into the books I’ll be reading, though, let’s talk a bit about March. While I did pretty okay in February, things kind of slowed down for me in March (as you can tell… Read More April 2019 TBR

Monthly Wrap-Up (March 2019)

March 30, 2019

So, January went by really slow, February went by really fast, and I’m not sure what happened exactly with March … but it’s over now too! How is it already almost April? I feel almost as if I zone out for weeks at a time, and then resurface with a “what year is it?” sort… Read More Monthly Wrap-Up (March 2019)
