When someone asks what I’m reading and I say it’s YA: If any older readers feel the same, I sure don’t!

#Repost @ellelittoujours such kind words - I just had to share. 😊 ・・・ Not only are the Stranje House series novels by Kathleen Baldwin gorgeous looking but so are the stories behind the covers! I rarely get to describe the actual tale of the books I read as beautiful but this series is truly made of gems. I love the characters, an abundant amount of strong female heroines (because lets be real, only one kick butt lady is never enough) and plenty of charming smarmy gents fully accepting of these women's strength while still owning their own. I love the set up of the books, each unusual girl getting the spotlight of a whole book of their own to tell their story. And I love the writing! Fast paced and filled with romance and action but also so poetic and charming itself. If you have not given the Strange House series a try yet, it is the only recommendation I ask you to take from my entire account! That's how incredible these books are! • • • Pictured above: A School for Unusual Girls, Exile for Dreamers, and Refuge for Masterminds • • • • #bookstagram #booksofig #booksofinsta #booksofinstagram #bookstagrammer #bookstagramfeature #kathleenbaldwin #stranjehouse #stranjehouseseries #aschoolforunusualgirls #exilefordreamers #refugeformasterminds #favoriteseries #favauthor #favoriteauthor #ya4life #yabooks #yareader #yafiction #YAread #yahistoricalfiction #historicalfiction

Very intrigued by this creepier, thriller-esque twist on the “famous star falls for a real girl” storyline.

I was very pleasantly surprised with Lauren Henderson’s Kiss Me, Kill Me series in high school. She got me with a fascinating plot, very relatable characters and an ending I did not see coming (for the whole series and each individual book). I’m very interested to see if she can reel me in again. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 • • • • • #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #booksofinsta #booksofig #bookstagrammer #bookstagramfeature #flirtinginitalian #laurenhenderson #kissmekillme #books #booksinshadow #booksandconcrete #booksinparks #booksoutside #booksoutdoors #parkinglotshots #concretecracks #yaromance #yathriller #ya4life #yabooks #yareader #yafiction #YAread #bookworm #halfpricedbooksfind

It's been years since I read a Claire LaZebnik book but I'm very excited to start this one! • • • #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #booksofinsta #booksofig #bookstagrammer #thingsishouldhaveknown #thingsiknow #clairelazebnik #autismawareness #autismsupport #autismspeaks #autismfamiliessticktogether #yacontemporary #yabooks #ya4life #firstlove #firstheartbreak #springreleases #springreleases2017 #clairelazebnikbooks

So much light in such a dark book. (Color not material) Things I Should Have Known by Claire LaZebnik was a thoroughly interesting read. The progression of the story was never predictable to me (although I did see what I think was meant to maybe be a plot twist early on) and gave me plenty of feels. But it was an entirely new experience for me from LaZebnik's other books but I stills consider it a hit. I'd recommend this book to anyone looking for the sense of a summer beach read but with some added depth. It will make you think about how you treat people when you don't then. When they're different. • • • #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #booksofinsta #booksofig #bookstagrammer #bookstagramfeature #library #librarybook #libraryswag #librarylife #thingsishouldhaveknown #clairelazebnik #summerreading #blackbooks #booksandnature #booksinnature #covergrab #yabooks #ya4life #yareader #yafiction #YAread #yaromance #reader #booklover #booksmakemehappy #booksmakemesmile #booksmakemefeel

I finished Refuge for Masterminds by Kathleen Baldwin and it was So. Freaking. Good! Every book in the Stranje House series raises the stakes and takes me on a heart racing adventure I don't want to end. I want to be each character I read that's how real and endearing and amazing these 'unusual girls' are. I especially loved Jane's story because I felt her pain and struggles so deeply my eyes actually welled up with tears! (And a few even spilled over near the end) If you want to read something fantastic and empowering, give the Stranje House series a try. You'll be surprised you didn't read it sooner. • • • #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #booksofinsta #booksofig #bookstagrammer #kathleenbaldwin #stranjehouse #stranjehouseseries #refugeformasterminds #exilefordreamers #aschoolforunusualgirls #booksandnature #booksinnature #yahistoricalfiction #historicalfiction #historicalromance #touchofromance #swoon #swoonworthy #swooning #yabooks #ya4life #yaromance #YAread #favoriteseries

Random Question: what do you do for a living? I'm a medical recruiter; I find jobs for nurses and billing coders and technicians (medical Anything really) all over the country! I get to talk to people from all over and learn about all kinds of jobs everyday. And while that's fun I think I'd really enjoy working at Uncle Will's Muesum of the Creepy Crawlies.
