Oh. Um. Hi. Remember me? I used to talk about books? And boy bands? And all the embarrassing moments in my life? I’m back! And I’m armed with an excellent book to talk about! And I’m low-key obsessed with Harry Styles’s new album! And… I have a story. The other day, I was at the airport… Continue reading The Color Project
You guys, we are just one sleep away from having A Torch Against the Night in our hands. Tomorrow it shall be mine FOREVER. Anyway, this post’s a short one, half because it’s 11 o’clock right now and I’m ready for bed, and half because we only have one day left in the countdown. So here we go:… Continue reading Countdown to ATATN: The One Scariest Part of AEITA
Today is proof that I cannot be trusted with any degree of responsibility. Why, you ask? Because I almost forgot to write this post today, since Danielle isn’t here to remind me on Twitter. She’s off having fun this weekend (and probably praying that I will remember to do the thing I promised to do). BUT.… Continue reading Countdown to ATATN: 3 Reasons I Like AEITA’s Love Triangle
A few days ago, one of our favorite book bloggers, Danielle, reached out to me (this is Allie talking. Libby doesn’t know anything about this. Libby, if you’re reading this, hi. Also, text me back) on Twitter about rereading An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir before the sequel drops on August 30th. And… Continue reading Countdown to ATATN: 5 Reasons We Love Laia
Libby and I did something extremely important a few weekends ago. We listened to every. single. One Direction album. TWICE. I know this might sound like just an average weekend for us. It was not! We were on vacation! In Florida! For Harry Potter World! Let’s recap via crappy iPhone pictures and jokes at Libby’s expense. When we… Continue reading When Nerds Go to Harry Potter World
PSA: This post is going to be spoiler-free. I hate spoilers so much that I plugged my ears when I was at the bookstore release event for this book. Don’t worry. I won’t be that person. Oh my goodness. You guys. I love Latin, have I ever mentioned that? Not that I know Latin at… Continue reading The Raven King
I was looking up some clever alliteration to title posts about author signings, and one of the suggestions was “Author Affairs.” And I was like, hmmm, I don’t think that’s exactly what I’m going for. Libby and I have a very disorganized and spontaneous way of doing things (like, “let’s drive to another state [Pennsylvania] today… Continue reading That Time We Saw Markus Zusak
When every YA author is talking about the same book on Twitter, it’s hard not to want to read it immediately. So when all my favorites started tweeting about Passenger, I was thrilled, and immediately put the book on hold at the library. And then I read the Goodreads summary that involved these words: time travel. … Continue reading Passenger
I feel like this blog post title very aptly summarizes my life. But also, I have a donuts-related fun fact: I had never eaten a donut until I moved to the U.S. a few years ago. Donut shops did not survive very long in my neck of the South American woods. Also, when I finally tried donuts, I was not impressed.… Continue reading Maggie Stiefvater, Donuts, & Boy Bands
Allie: Greetings from the other side of the world! Libby and I are now separated by like three continents and an ocean or something. It’s really sad. Broken Harbour by Tana French: By far my least favorite of the series. I didn’t like the main character before the book started, and I didn’t like him… Continue reading August
