🎉📚MINI REVIEW 📚🎉

.
The Invention of Sophie Carter is a young adult victorian era romance by Samantha Hastings. This novel was utterly adorable and completely lovable. It felt like a Victorian era parent trap, which was a ton of fun. Swoon Reads somehow manages to always pick the perfect books and perfect authors to release feel good romances that are sure to put a big smile on your face. And The Invention of Sophie Carter is no different. I loved this book and I had a blast reading it.

.
In The Invention of Sophie Carter we meet identical twins Sophie and Mariah Carter. The twins couldn't be more different, but when their aunt tells them she only has space for one of them to live with her, they hatch an ingenious plan to both go and act as if they were one person. Nothing can possible go wrong there, right? This book was a delightful comedy of errors and happenstance that leads the twins to court different gentleman suitors, who each think they are courting Sophie Carter, and to each try and get the most out of their London experience. Sophie and Mariah are each delightful in their own right, and I love seeing their bond as sisters. It is clear that they love and look out for one another. Sophie is outspoken and loud and Mariah is much more reserved, and watching their personalities differences come through in the romance aspect of the story was excellent.

.
Bottom line: If you are a fan of the Parent Trap, you will love The Invention of Sophie Carter. If you have never seen the Parent Trap, then The Invention

Well Gus 13 week check in did not go as planned. He had way too much energy to sit still. This was the best shot I could get. I kind of love it! Swipe to see my other attempts haha

🎉📚MINI REVIEW 📚🎉
.
.
.
(full review on blog)
.
The Princess Will Save You is a young adult fantasy romance by Sarah Henning. The Princess Will Save You is based on a gender swapping re-imagining of The Princess Bride, which is an absolutely fantastic and classic movie. If you have not yet watched The Princess Bride, you need to watch it immediately.

.

While you might think it is inconceivable that this book would live up to the movie, it totally does. It has all the elements that fans of the movie will love- great swords man ship and fighting scenes, a sweeping romantic love, and fiercely brave characters. However; the book still manages to be it’s own story. This is not just a regurgitation of The Princess Bride, and I loved that Sarah Henning made the tale her own. I can’t wait to see what is going to happen next in this duology. I do know one thing though, I am sure it will be over too soon. I loved this book, and while I am ready for more, I am not ready for this story to end. The Princess Will Save You will be a book that I re-read several times over. I loved this fantasy romance, and I think you will too (whether or not you have watched the movie.) This was an awesome story!

Goddess in the machine by @lorabethjohnson sounds awesome! I am hoping to read it soon. It’s about a girl that wakes up after being in a cryogenic sleep for 1000 years later than she was supposed to and something has gone very wrong. The adventure she goes on after waking up sounds like an awesome sci fi journey!

📚🎉ARC REVIEW🎉📚 . . . 10 Things I Hate

📚🎉ARC REVIEW🎉📚
.
.
.
10 Things I Hate about Pinky is the third book in the young adult own voices series titled, Dimple and Rishi, by author Sandhya Menon. At this point, I have read several of Sandhya Menon’s books, and I have a pretty good idea of her writing and characters, and I know that I am likely going to love them. This was exactly the case here. I loved each of the characters so much, and their romance is one full of heart and smiles. 10 Things I Hate about Pinky is told in dual narrative between Samir and Pinky, which is the perfect narration for this story. It helped me get to know both of the characters very quickly, and let me root for them almost immediately. Pinky is a self dubbed social justice warrior, and some of her causes made me chuckle and completely endeared her in my eyes. She is pretty much the complete opposite from straight laced Samir, but when Pinky’s parents refuse to see her as anything but a juvenile delinquent, she makes up a boyfriend she knows they would approve of.

.

Samir has a prestigious internship set up at a law firm for his last summer before Harvard. But when that falls through, Pinky convinces him to he his fake boyfriend to impress her lawyer parents. I love a fake relationship story and when you couple that with the pure magic that is Sandhya Menon’s characters and writing, you have a wonderful feel good romance. I loved the push and pull dynamic between Pinky and Samir. Watching their fake relationship progress into something real was fantastic.

.

All of Menon’s books center on some theme of love, self-discovery and acceptance, which I completely adore. Whether you are a new fan to this series, or if you are fan girl to When Dimple Met Rishi, you will love 10 Things I Hate about Pinky. It will make your heart happy and it will bring a smile to your face. Maybe even a perma-smile. I dare you to read this book and not smile. Go ahead…I really dare you. I don’t think it is possible

QOTD: how is everyone’s week going?
.
.
.
I’ve just been working a ton. Things are really busy right now, which is a good thing.
.
.
.
Here is my cute Gus’ 12 week #pupsandstacks check in. He is 18 books tall now and getting bigger by the day it seems.
.
.
.
Fireworks update: unsurprisingly Gus did NOT like fireworks. He was ok while in the house but he absolutely refused to go outside all night. So that was not too fun. But we got some good cuddles in.

What happens when monsters run with mobsters?
.
Colt Clemmons is an agent in a specialized division within the Bureau of Investigation—one that hunts down not just mobsters, but also monsters.
.
For reasons that are kept top secret, Colt is the only person who can resist a siren's voice. But he's never had a chance to test this ability. The last siren left in the world mysteriously disappeared years ago.
.
Then one night, with a single word, she reveals herself. It seems too good to be true.
.
And it is. Because nothing about this siren—her past, her powers, or her purpose—is what it seems...

QOTD: What kind of world would you like to travel to?

A Peculiar Peril is the first book in the young adult fantasy series, titled Misadventures of Jonathan Lambshead by Jeff VanderMeer. A peculiar Peril, lived up to its’ name. It was…peculiar. In a good way. It felt like a mashup of a nature focused Alice in Wonderland, mixed with a dash of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the galaxy humor. This was a long book clocking in at over 650 pages, but it was zany, and weird and completely interesting.

.

In A Peculiar Peril, we meet our hero- Jonathan Lambshead who along with his two friends as he is cleaning out his deceased grandfather’s house. In the house they discover all kinds of things, including a portal to another world. This world is a wonderlandian place where animals can talk and plants come to life. There Jonathan and his friends go on a quest full of evil and secret societies that manage the portals between worlds and of course monsters and big bad’s that want to wreak havoc.

.

If you are a fan of the weirdness of Through the Looking Glass, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, then I think you will really enjoy A Peculiar Peril. I am not sure if this is going to be a duology or part of a longer series, but I am here for the rest of the ride. I am so glad that I read this book, and that I stuck with it through my early confusion. Stick with it, and get ready for a zany ride!
