Review | Kitchens of the Gre..

This is a book about Sarah, the smart girl that wants to be seen as more than just super-smart. Sarah, who reinvents herself […]

The Night Circus by Erin Mor..

Review: It isn’t often that books garner the amount of pre-publication buzz that The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern did. I began to hear and read about this book months and months ago and the buzz turned into full-on hype over a rather short time. For me, the excitement began over the stunning cover. I knew […]
