No Pizza Delivery?Title: No Pizza Delivery?
Author: Grace Marshall Publication Date: May 31st, 2016 Publisher: Firelight Reads Category: Young Adult Genre: Horses Star Rating: 3.5 out of 5 Synopsis: Manure, southern accents, self-absorbed boys, and new faces are all a part of the maze that have become Ruth Deloach’s life. Her world is sent spinning when she finds out she is going to be ripped from America’s Dairyland to live in the embarrassingly small tourist town of Sainte Genevieve, Missouri. The blow is slightly lessened by the news that her father wants to start a horse ranch, but how enjoyable will it really be to live where there is no pizza delivery and a revolving door to the public? A public with a different idea of how things are done and said. To add embarrassment to her frustration she finds she knows less about horses than she presumed. Maybe the handsome ranch hand her father hires can brighten things up, then again, maybe not.

Crooked KingdomTitle: Crooked Kingdom
Author: Leigh Bardugo Publication Date: September 27th, 2016 Publisher: Random House Category: Young Adult Genre: Fantasy Star Rating: 5 out of 5 Synopsis: Kaz Brekker and his crew have just pulled off a heist so daring even they didn't think they'd survive. But instead of divvying up a fat reward, they're right back to fighting for their lives. Double-crossed and left crippled by the kidnapping of a valuable team member, the crew is low on resources, allies, and hope. As powerful forces from around the world descend on Ketterdam to root out the secrets of the dangerous drug known as jurda parem, old rivals and new enemies emerge to challenge Kaz's cunning and test the team's fragile loyalties. A war will be waged on the city's dark and twisting streets―a battle for revenge and redemption that will decide the fate of magic in the Grisha world. ---I do not reccomend reading this review if you have not yet read the first book, Six of Crows. This review will not contain spoilers for Crooked Kingdom but it will for Six of Crows.--- Throne of Glass Title: Throne of Glass
Author: Sarah J. Maas Publication Date: August 7th, 2012 Publisher: Bloomsbury Category: Young Adult Genre: High Fantasy Star Rating: 4 out of 5 Summary: After serving out a year of hard labor in the salt mines of Endovier for her crimes, 18-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien is dragged before the Crown Prince. Prince Dorian offers her her freedom on one condition: she must act as his champion in a competition to find a new royal assassin. Her opponents are men-thieves and assassins and warriors from across the empire, each sponsored by a member of the king's council. If she beats her opponents in a series of eliminations, she'll serve the kingdom for four years and then be granted her freedom. Celaena finds her training sessions with the captain of the guard, Westfall, challenging and exhilarating. But she's bored stiff by court life. Things get a little more interesting when the prince starts to show interest in her ... but it's the gruff Captain Westfall who seems to understand her best. Then one of the other contestants turns up dead ... quickly followed by another. Can Celaena figure out who the killer is before she becomes a victim? As the young assassin investigates, her search leads her to discover a greater destiny than she could possibly have imagined. |

Short BiographyMy name is Devynn, I'm a 18 year old girl who resides in sunny Southern California. Most of my time is spent with my nose stuck in a book or on the back of a horse. I love the outdoors and hiking, specifically in the spring when everything is blooming and beautiful! Archives
