Please excuse the fact that everything is backwards in my photo. I didn’t manage to catch it before I posted it. I also managed to leave this post in my queue and not post it, even though I finished On the Come Up a few days after it was released. On the morning On the … More On the Come Up | Sticky Note Reviews
I picked up A Very Large Expanse of Sea by Tahereh Mafi because I loved the Shatter Me series. I didn’t know that this one wasn’t fantasy when I checked it out from the library, but honestly, that didn’t matter. I’m always here for a good contemporary novel. Even one as heartbreaking as this one.
I’ve been adamantly against romance novels, professing they weren’t for me. I think it had more to do with not seeing myself represented in the romance novels that people were talking about. When my friend sent me the cover of Once Ghosted, Twice Shy by Alyssa Cole, I was immediately intrigued. I definitely read it … More Once Ghosted, Twice Shy | Sticky Note Reviews
T and I are sometimes find it challenging to find an audiobook that we’ll both enjoy. I’m not sure which of the two of us found Mirage by Sonaiya Daud, but I’m happy we did. In a world dominated by the brutal Vathek empire, eighteen-year-old Amani is a dreamer. She dreams of what life was … More Mirage | Sticky Note Reviews

Alice in Wonderland was one of those stories I never really … More A Blade So Black | Sticky Note Reviews

This book was a mostly satisfying ending to the Warcross duology. I love that the characters stay true to who they are, … More Wildcard | Sticky Note Reviews
In case you weren’t aware, Jason Reynolds is one of my favorite authors. So naturally, as soon as I heard the fourth book in the Track series was coming out, I put it on hold at my library. Don’t worry though, there aren’t any spoilers in my review. And if you haven’t read Ghost yet, … More Lu (Track #4) | Sticky Note Review
Jacqueline Woodson is on my list of autobuy authors. Ever since If You Come Softly, I’ve been hooked. So naturally when Harbor Me came out, I purchased it. I read ~15% of it on my pomodoro breaks and the rest on my way home from work today (no, I wasn’t driving). Haven’t heard of Harbor Me? … More Harbor Me | Sticky Note Reviews
I knew, as soon as I heard that Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera were writing a book together that I was going to read it. I had a feeling it would be a fluffy love story that I’d love every minute of because I love rom coms (and I’m less embarrassed about admitting it than … More What If It’s Us | Sticky Note Review
