It's that time of the year again when I decorate the kids bags for field trips.

Gah, I have so many reviews to catch up on. I've been trying to get enrolled into school for the summer (yes, I'm going back) and it's kept me busy for sure! . . White Rose by Kip Wilson is a novel about Sophie Scholl, a German anti-Nazi activist who lead the White Rose nonviolent resistance group against Hitler's government. This is not your normal WWII novel. It's written in verse much like Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo. I loved Poet X, but I had a hard time connecting with the poetic narrative of White Rose. When I read WWII novels, I want so much detail. I want to know everything. My Grandpa served in WWII, so it is one of my favorite wars to learn about. This book didn't pull me in the way I had hoped it would. Which is probably just me. I'm not a huge fan of poetry. Overall, the story is good and the verse is well written. The book just wasn't for me. ~*I was provided a copy of this book from @netgalley in exchange for an honest review*~ . . @versifybooks #whiterose #WWII #poetx #bookblogger #bookboost #booksofinstagram #books📚 #readerofinstagram #readerlife #bookreader #authorsofinstagram #authorlife #igbooks #booknerd #booklover #booklove #bookworm #bookaddict #bookaholic #bibliophile #bookish #bookishlife #bookishfeatures #YA #YAreads #libraryreads #YAbooks

Well, I finished Again, but Better by Christine Riccio. I like the writing style, first of all. It felt a but like reading a diary. However, there are a lot of "!". I mean, everyone must be really loud and excited all the time. The story is your basic contemporary romance. Girl meets boy, girl falls instantly in love, girl and boy suffer an issue that breaks them apart, etc. While the story itself was good, there were so many tropes that were sort of disappointing. It's my understanding that Christine Riccio is a booktuber who reads a lot so she should know all about tropes. Shane was a fairly likeable character as she suffers from anxiety, but it didn't feel like a realistic representation of social anxiety, as she struggles with pursuing the career she wants and not the one her parents have planned out for her, and as she tries to discover her first love. I mean, this girl is twenty and has never had a boyfriend, never been kissed, and never held hands with a boy. Which feels overdone. The relationship between Shane and her parents bothered me to no end. I get wanting to live your life the way you want, but she went to such extreme measures and hurt so many people in the process that it made it difficult to like Shane. All in all, I give Again, but Better ⭐⭐⭐. ~*I was provided an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review*~ #AgainbutBetter @xtinemay @stmartinspress @netgalley #bookblogger #bookboost #booksofinstagram #books📚 #readerofinstagram #readerlife #bookreader #bookishfeatures #YA #YAreads #YAbooks

Prepping eggs for Easter. Making them extra shiny this year.

Finished The Wicked King by Holly Black today. I wasn't sure if I liked the first. It's strange to have a protagonist and a love interest who hate each other so much! But I loved The Wicked King. Jude infuriates me sometimes, mostly because as soon as I read her name Hey Jude starts playing in my head, lol. I definitely didn't see the ending coming. I can't wait for The Queen of Nothing. I mean, that cover... . . Current read: Again, But Better by Christine Riccio . . . #thewickedking #thequeenofnothing @blackholly #bookblogger #bookboost #booksofinstagram #books📚 #readerofinstagram #readerlife #bookreader #authorsofinstagram #authorlife #igbooks #booknerd #booklover #booklove #bookworm #bookaddict #bookaholic #bibliophile #bookish #bookishlife #bookishfeatures #YA #YAreads #libraryreads #YAbooks

So, I finished reading The Shining today by Stephen King. I made the mistake of listening to the audiobook while driving around at 2am. In the dark. Probably not one of my better ideas, but a good book none the less. . What other Stephen King novels should I read? . . Current read: The Wicked King by Holly Black . . #bookblogger #bookboost #booksofinstagram #books📚 #readerofinstagram #readerlife #bookreader #authorsofinstagram #authorlife #igbooks #booknerd #booklover #booklove #bookworm #bookaddict #bookaholic #bibliophile #bookish #bookishlife #bookishfeatures #YA #YAreads #libraryreads #YAbooks #stephenking #theshining
