Book Review: The Lake House by Kate Morton
I always say that I love historical fiction, however I so rarely read for it. When my sister Julia and I started our podcast You’re Never Going to Read This, I knew I was going to be recommended a fair amount of historical fiction.

Book Review: After Atlas by Emma Newman
I am not shy about shouting out my love of Emma Newman’s Planetfall — it is easily one of the best books that I’ve read this year.

Book Review: Mirage by Somaiya Daud
I absolutely love those rare books that combine science fiction and fantasy elements. Naturally I was naturally thrilled when I heard about Mirage, a Moroccan-inspired YA book that does just that.

October and November 2018 Reading Wrap-Up
Hi. This is a bit late. October was an absolutely crazy month, then NaNoWriMo took over my life in November.
