This is a picture of Andrew Smith, my all time favorite author. Over the past weekend, I got to meet him, and it was one of the best experiences of my life. Now, you may be wondering why this guy is not just my all time favorite author, but also one of my favorite people, and I am going to tell you all about it. Two and a half years ago, I didn’t even know who this guy was, let alone that he wrote books. I was really big into BookTube, and even though I didn’t make videos, I loved being a part of the community. One day, I heard about Winger , and honestly I wasn’t really interested in the book. I had heard so many good things about it though that I had to read it, and I am so glad I did. Within five pages, I kid you not, it was my favorite book, and it still is today. Over the span of my life, I have read over 300 books, and I have never been more attached to a set of characters. Ryan Dean stole my heart from the minute I met him, and his story then shattered my heart into a...

The Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera (2017)

- October 01, 2017

Mateo is going to die. Of course, he has to die sometime but he’s going to specifically die today. He knows because DeathCast called him at midnight letting him know. Mateo is eighteen. Rufus is seventeen and he is also going to die today. Neither of them are ready to go out. Mateo’s anxiety has made it so that he’s barely lived and Rufus is just rebuilding his life after his family died three months ago. Through the Last Friend app, Mateo and Rufus are able to connect and attempt to live their last day to the fullest, literally. Oh, and they might fall in love along the way. So my love for Adam Silvera is at full capacity right now. Not only is he basically the coolest person ever, he released two books this year. The first one, History Is All You Left Me was an automatic all time favorite of mine. Also, exciting news, he’s coming to my library in December (AHHHH)! Basically, my life is made. Of course, I had to read They Both Die at the End as soon as it came out and I feel like...

- January 27, 2018

It’s been years since young Asha led the notorious dragon Kozu to her city. In the aftermath, almost everything was burned, including most of her body. As a way to regain her city’s trust, she has committed herself to be the most fierce dragon hunter, and her father has promised her hand in marriage to Jarek, who lost his entire family during the fire. Days before her wedding, Asha is met with a proposition by her father: hunt and kill Kozu and and her upcoming marriage will be dispersed. However, Asha brother, Dax, has his own plans for the city that Asha accidentally plays in by freeing a slave from Jarek’s hands. Now, she has to hide a slave and kill Kozu, all behind Jarek’s back. The days are counting down, and Asha is realizing more and more that there are power plays behind every move. I originally had no idea The Last Namsara even existed until one of my friends who actually knows Kristen Ciccarelli (the author) recommended it to me. This book is one of many that came out o...
