An “action-packed YA adventure set against the backdrop of Jeufal Japan“?! Sign me up! I’ve heard some great things about Renée Ahdieh, so when Flame in the Mist was available on Netgalley, I could not pass up the opportunity. I never got anything off Netgalley before, so I imagine my surprise when I got the email telling me I got access to the title! A huuuuuuge thank you to Pinguin for providing me with an eARC. This book releases May 16th, so make sure to preorder or pick up a copy!

Book Babble: Why I Don’t DNF Books
DNF: Did Not Finish. | Some people never DNF a book in their life, others DNF more than they complete. Some people review their DNFs, others think it’s unfair.

Video: The Ruler of Books Tag

I looked up the cover artists, links to Goodreads for the books I mentioned, etc! I hope you like the video! Read more

August TBR
This is probably the longest monthly TBR ever! I’ve got so many unread books on my shelf and I have another month of my Scribd subscription left, so I plan on reading lots this month! I have two weeks left before I start my internship about a month before I go back to college. I’ll probably be busy then, but I’m excited to have some reading to get home to at the end of the day! So now, without further ado; here’s my August TBR! Read more
July Wrap Up
I had the whole month of July off from college, which means I had a whole lot of time to read! I’ve read 13 books this month, and that’s crazy! If it wasn’t for this wrap up, I’d probably forget what I read at the start of the month, it honestly feels like forever ago. I’ve read some very good books this month, listened to some audiobooks, and I also gave a certain book my lowest rating yet. Let’s just dive straight into the wrap up!

We’ve discussed YA in general, Fantasy and Science Fiction. Now it’s time for part four in my YA Genres 101 series, which is all about contemporary!
