Mini Reviews #3 | A Girl Called Shameless, Dark Triumph, Mortal Heart, The Raven Tower

Hello Humans! More mini-reviews? I read six books during our Bookaneerathon weekend and I thought it would be mean to ask you to read all the reviews in one post - so here is part two of my library reads mini-reviews (my third of such posts... this is getting confusing!). All Amazon links are affiliate...

Dear Evan Hansen – Book Review

Hello humans! Welcome back to another book review! I've got a whole host of amazing titles to share in the coming weeks so be sure you stop by every now and then. Today I am reviewing the book Dear Evan Hansen, based on the musical of the same name. I knew the musical pretty well so...

Floored, Various Authors – Book Review

But I'm so glad I requested this book because it is utterly phenomenal and...

Want to Read Wednesdays! I Hate Everyone But You, Alison Raskin and Gaby Dunn
