one girl, too many books
I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review
If you are looking for a book to read for this Christmas holiday, The Enchanted Sonata is the answer to your prayer. Based on the beloved Christmas story, The Nutcrackers, with a little bit of The Pied Piper thrown in it, The Enchanted Sonata delivers a twist to the story of Clara and The Nutcracker.

Trigger warning: sexual assault/rape (not graphic but repeatedly mention)
Right after I finished reading The Leading Edge of Now, I knew writing a review for this book is not going to be easy.
A little warning, you may get impatient at the beginning of this book because the book started out slow, like really slow. However, I thank my lucky star that I didn’t stop reading. The story picked up it pace once we know what happened to Grace.
In the span of two years, Grace lost his father to heart attack and placed in foster care after she was sexually assaulted by her boyfriend, Owen. She was unable to tell anyone anything about that night because she was ashamed and plus Owen is her best friend’s older brother.
I received an ARC of Brave Enough from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
The book will be released on August 21st 2018 by Flux.
I have to start this review by congratulating and thanking Kati Gardner for this beautiful and brilliant debut novel. As someone who loves books about ballet dancers (you may have witnessed my love for Tiny Pretty Things and Shiny Broken Pieces on the blog), I knew I had to read this one as soon as I read the synopsis. Although there is a twist in Brave Enough; the ballerina has cancer.
Warning: This review includes spoiler. You have to read the first book, The Thousandth Floor before you read this review.
After I finished The Thousandth Floor, I picked up The Dazzling Heights right away. Although this time I decided to pick up the audiobook. I had a difficult relationship with audiobook, but somehow, I managed to finish this one! I’ll save the audiobook talk for later post because I have so much to say about this book.
The Thousandth Floor started out with a death. What a way to catch the reader’s attention, right? The moment I started reading and saw that it started out with a death, all I wanted was to continue reading.
