I have read a lot of fantasy. Specifically, I have read a lot of YA fantasy. Fantasy is one of the most popular genres with my students and after years and years of being asked for recommendations, I am certainly a well-read fan now. That being said, I first fell in love with Stephanie Garber … Continue reading Once Upon A Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber

The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels by India Holton
An unapologetic feminist novel featuring badass lady pirates?!?! Well played, India Holton. You get me. You really do. I've jumped ahead. Let me rewind a bit. Close your eyes and imagine back a few weeks ago. Past Cheryl was excited when this book finally made it to the top of my TBR. I finally picked … Continue reading The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels by India Holton
Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
Strap in, everyone. It’s going to be a long one. I’m finally tackling a book series that I have been meaning to write about for ages now and it will come to no surprise to those of you who have Netflix, but I’m going to talk about the Shadow and Bone series by Leigh Bardugo. … Continue reading Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune
When I finished this book, my first thought was that this was the most beautiful book I had ever read! Frankly, I’m not even sure how to start this post.

An ode to… the Cursebreakers series
So strap in everybody because the last book in Brigid Kemmerer’s Cursebreakers series was just released and I just finished it. As you may expect - this is me - I. Have. Opinions. Before we get to that, if you haven’t discovered Brigid Kemmerer, you should. I have liked every book of hers I’ve read … Continue reading An ode to… the Cursebreakers series
Looking forward to 2021
It’s that time of year again. The time of year where I get reflective about the year’s past (although is anyone really looking back at 2020 with anything other than disappointment, anger, and contempt?) and I start getting hopeful and excited about the year to come. Last year at this time, I hadn’t written much … Continue reading Looking forward to 2021
An ode to… A Court of Thorns and Roses
When I originally decided to write this post, I wanted it to focus on my favorite in the series, book 2 - A Court of Mist and Fury. I had Mr. Librarian read an early draft and his biggest critique was that I was spending so much time explaining and exploring book 1, that I … Continue reading An ode to… A Court of Thorns and Roses
