When I read that Spin the Dawn was being pitched as Mulan meets Project Runway, I have to say that got my attention. This book came out almost a year ago, but I just haven’t had the chance to read it yet. Last month I picked it up at the bookstore to read for a group read this month. I’m so happy I finally picked this up, because Spin the Dawn was so good. Keep on reading for my full review!

Can’t Wait Wednesday | Cinderella is Dead – Kalynn Bayron
We wanted to do another bookish meme on Wednesday and after doing Can’t Wait Wednesday a few times we decided that would be a fun one to bring around more often! About twice a month you’ll see this meme on our blog.
Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

Review| Love Lessons – Daphne James Huff
Shelfbrooke Academy has been a fun series so far and I’ve read a few of them so far (Twelfth Knight, Tessa and Sway). All of them can be read as standalones. Love Lessons is the fifth book and a modern day retelling of the classic Shakespeare play Love’s Labour’s Lost. I’ve never read that, but this book sounded like something for me!
A big thanks to the author for providing me with an ARC to read and review!
Review| Twelfth Knight – Jessica Bucher
