Book Review: A Sky Painted Gold ~ Laura Wood | ★★★✰✰
Historical fiction (1920s) | YA | This is a cute book, but it didn't strike me as thaaat special. It was mostly fluff with good characters but not an otherworldly story. Kudos to the last two chapters, though.

Wise people always say that the best approach to finish things faster is to be organized in handling them. That sounds like the best way to tackle a bookworm's too-short-life-span problem!

Book Review: Legend (Legend #1) ~ Marie Lu | ★★★★★
YA | Dystopia | Reading Legend again was like coming back home after years of looking for a place where I'd feel fully comfortable. Of course, sometimes I have found those, but... The home home makes your stomach tingle with some distinct warmth. Marie Lu built an incredibly realistic world and a story that catches you and never lets you go.
Book Review: Follow Me Back (Follow Me Back #1) ~ A.V. Geiger | ★★✰✰✰
YA | Contemporary | Thriller | I saw a comment on Goodreads that said that 'Follow Me Back' reads too much like a fanfiction piece and... yeah. All in all, I feel a little sorry for not liking it. I wish I could have, because the idea is appealing and it's easy to feel the author's love for her story (I relate), but it was just too hard to see past the eye-roll-worthy moments.
