MY MECHANICAL ROMANCE Plus a Few Other YA Books You Should Read
Hey everyone! So, I was a bit shocked when I looked back at my blog and realized the last time I posted YA mini-reviews was the end of July. Three months might be my longest stretch ever! At least I did toss in some middle grade reviews in between. The fact is, while I was…
THE AGATHAS Plus a Few Other YA Books You Should Read
It’s review roundup time! Every summer I think, “Oh, now I’ll finally have more time to read!” And then, somehow, I have less time? I think it’s because I’m driving around to a different camp every week. Now I just joined TikTok and am trying to figure that out too (you can follow me @michelleimason…
ONLY A MONSTER Plus a Few Other YA Books You Should Read

THE LAST CONFESSION OF AUTUMN CASTERLY and A Few Other YA Books You Should Read
Happy May! Also, today happens to be the 10th anniversary of this blog. I published my first post on May 2, 2012. I used to celebrate the blogiversary every year by sharing the top posts and pages, but when I migrated to my new website in September 2020, my statistics got a little screwed up….
THE LUCKY ONES and a Few Other Books You Should Read
Happy April! So, I’ve completely lost track of when I posted my last review roundup. I went on a re-reading spree in March, and I had two files of middle grade and young adult reviews in progress. But as one of the books I’ve been meaning to feature comes out next week, I’m going to…
EVERY OTHER WEEKEND Plus A Few Other YA Books You Should Read
Review time! My schedule got a bit crazy toward the end of 2021 (not even going to get into why), so a couple of these reviews are actually holdovers, but I didn’t want to miss out on covering them here on the blog. It’s quite a variety, from contemporary young adult to contemporary with a…

YOU & ME AT THE END OF THE WORLD and a Few Other YA Books You Should Read
Happy last few days of August! I’ve been holding on to reviews of a few young adult books I read earlier this summer (mostly because I’ve had so many other things to post about). But considering this first author will be in conversation with me for my launch week Instagram Live, I’d better make sure…
WHERE IT ALL LANDS and a Few Other YA Books You Should Read!
Happy July! It’s already been quite eventful for me. I thought this was when I’d be able to say “My book comes out next month!” Alas, my countdown has been pushed back a bit, and it’s now more than two months again. BUT, I do have some other great books to tell you about. Most…
