I cannot believe I haven't talked much about the amazing Mackenzie Lee yet on my blog...

Let the Sky Fall
I haven't talked much about Shannon Messenger, one of my favorite authors EVER, on my blog because I never have anything critical to say about her work...
The Gutsy Girl
When I received this book for my birthday (thanks Dad!) I was excited for sure. The title sounded so strong and I, being a feminist, was overjoyed. I was also partly overjoyed because of the simple fact that it was a book (of course). I took it with me to school the next week and started reading it in my spare class time...
Hairspray
I heard about it everywhere and I always wanted to see it. I watched the trailer over and over; I heard people mentioning it years after it came out. Finally, after approximately five years of thinking about it, I got around to watching this movie (wow, great commitment). This was originally, apparently, a movie that wasn’t a musical and then it was made into a Broadway musical and then, finally, this musical-film version was created. I had no clue what this movie was even about (except from a few ideas from the trailer), but I was happily surprised at the heartwarming story.

A while later, my friend said she was reading a book called Everything, Everything. Deja vu! Once she finished, she let me borrow it, before I finished it the next morning...
The Lunar Chronicles
For a change, I am going to be reviewing a series in its entirety in just one blog post. I can remember seeing the covers for this series of books and always wondering about what secrets were hidden beneath them. A Glass shoe, a red cape… what did these things represent? After some time, I read the synopsis and realized that they were one of my favorite types of stories: fairy-tale re-tellings...
Hollow City
I took quite a long break between reading the first book, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children and reading this sequel. The first book was good, but I wouldn’t have considered it to be one of my favorites. This was the reason that I didn’t end up continuing to read the series. However, after much egging on from my friend, I asked her to loan it to me and I started to read...
