 It may be 11:03 PM, but I need to get my thoughts into words while this book is still fresh in my mind.  :)


On the night of … 1716, Addie LaRue is running for her life, and without thinking she makes a deal with the devil. Her devil, Luc. She offers her soul for freedom- but every deal comes with the cost, and people forget you. But little does Addie know it will be more than 300 years later that she stumbles into a hidden bookstore, and meets someone who remembers. Remembers her name. Remembers her face. Remembers her. Addie LaRue. Luc and Addie’s game stretches through the centuries, consisting of one question, are you ready to give me your soul..? But life is fast, times are helpless, and deals are deals. 


Wow. This book was art. I think anyone can say that they love a book that leaves a mark on them, and this book has left a mark on me. Everything was so special and unique about The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue from the mention of art pieces throughout every section to the description of star freckles on Addie‘s face. This story made me smile and cry, and I can tell that this is one of the books that I will be rereading whenever I feel low. Addie fought her life for things she didn't want but also needed at the same time, and I really loved how it showed her change in herself over the decades.

This book was just so beautifully written, and I indulged all in about a day, haha. I think all teen day dreamers should read this book at some point their life!


PS, sorry this review is very short- I didn't have that much time to really get into it, because this past week has been busy since I just started high school ahh. Lol, I will try to be more active on here though. Thx!

Long Live The Pumpkin Queen by Shea Ernshaw

Long Live The Pumpkin Queen by Shea Ernshaw  YA, fiction I had seen this book before somewhere, but I was very excited when I unwrapped this gift for Christmas! If I haven’t mentioned before, The Nightmare Before Christmas created by Tim Burton, is probably one of my favorite movies of all time, so you can assume that I was interested to see the epilogue from Sally’s perspective. This book was definitely lower than my reading level with its size fourteen font and respective main ideas, but it still pulled me in like the original story line. the details of Halloween Town and the dark, twisted woods built around these main characters were beautifully but darkly described. When it came to romance, it was absolutely adorable! Jack and Sally Skellington are just the cutest and I am glad that even just their little bit of romance gets to exist in this creepy world of Tim Burton and Shea Ernshaw. Sally has to face many difficulties throughout story entirely by herself, while trying to stay tr

Happy Place by Emily Henry

  Happy Place by Emily Henry   Romance I may have only read seven books this year so far, but I can confidently say that I am glad that Happy Place was one of those seven. Not only was this one of my favorite books I have read in a while, but it was also the most perfect refreshing book of the summer.  Emily Henry uses a common thread throughout her stories. Those threads are connected by time, time jumps, memories, etc. This story takes place between the now and the past of the protagonist, Harriet’s, summers in Knott’s Harbor, Maine. She and her five other friends travel back to Maine for a long-awaited reunion, but not all is right. Harriet, aka Harry, has recently split up with her ex-fiance, Wynn, and they haven’t told their friends yet. This story is heart-wrenching and heartwarming as it navigates the truth about change through growth, and how some secrets are better left unsaid. And the summer vibes are all there. From those sea breeze winds to small-town shopping routes, this
