Froi of the Exiles is released in North America today! Yay! And we’re giving away a copy! More yay! We’re very excited! Froi is the sequel to Finnikin of the Rock (which we all had fun extolling yesterday) and takes place three years after the events in that book. We see Finnikin and his wife…

It’s Monday, March 12th! Do you know what that means? Tomorrow Froi of the Exiles (by Melina Marchetta) will be released here in North America! If you’ve stopped by the blog before you may have noticed that we absolutely love Melina Marchetta. We love her to itty bitty, how-is-one-person-so-awesome bits. And we wanted to do…

Caitlin: When starting this book, I wanted one thing to happen…or well, not to happen. I wanted there to not be a new love interest introduced or for Emma and Brendan to break up…you know how book twos always seem to be about the intense emotional drama. I wanted the drama to come from outside…

Recently I posted my review of Torrent and the River in Time trilogy in general. Bourne is a novella released in digital format only that directly follows the trilogy and focuses a little more on Lia than Gabby as the trilogy did. I liked how Bourne managed to fit the tone of the trilogy and…

Alrighty. So, I saw Touch of Frost in the bookstore a bunch of times before I finally picked it up and brought it to the cash register. I liked the cover and the idea (or trope as some people might argue). I’m kind of a sucker for anything that’s “kids with powers at boarding schools.”…

So, today on the site is something a little different. When you sign up for blog tours, you’re never really sure what you’re get (be it an interview, review only, huge giveaway, etc). When I signed up for Article 5‘s tour, I was tasked with interviewing Chase, the lead male in the story. Not an…

I totally had something else on the schedule for today but then I read this and I HAVE to talk about it! I don’t even care that it’s not out for four months. It’s the best book I’ve read this year and everyone needs to read it. And love it and want it and stroke…

Honestly, I’m surprised I’m the one doing a review for this book, mostly because it screams “Caitlin”. I mean, it’s fantasy — not high fantasy, but there is a fictional world involved. It just happens to be attached to our historical world. And there’s also magic and dragons and a very strong and opinionated heroine….

In honor of Valentine’s Day, Kate had the inspired idea of us telling y’all our favorite love stories in young adult fiction, which kind of morphed into our favorite couples to love. You’re more than welcome to include your favorite (or favorites, since I know it’s sometimes hard to choose) in the comments section. Katie:…

Remember when you were a kid and your teachers would assign book reports, but you could never choose what you wanted to read? Somehow the new Goosebumps, Sweet Valley Twins, or in my case, the latest Thoroughbred book was never considered a valuable because it was missing a big old seal on the cover. “If…
