When I took this book at my local library, I did not really know what to think. To be honest, I love mystery novels and the covers of that collection really appealed to me, but I was not sure. Would I like it? As a librarian myself, it is part of my job to know…

The Book With No Name ♡ Anonymous.

This is by far one of the best books I have read (actually, listened to). I had never read anything by this author but had heard wonderful things about him. As a lot of people recommended starting with this book, that is what I did without really knowing what I would find…

[ARC] Dizzy Lizzie ♡ Kat E. Erikson (Children’s lit.)
ARC // As a student currently writing a Master’s thesis about Children’s literature, I just absolutely had to choose to review that book when it got recommended to me on Booksirens.com!
