Did I Mention I Love You? by Estelle Maskame - Book Review

Did I Mention I Love You? Book Cover
How’s it going everyone. Today, I’ll be reviewing Did I Mention I Love You? by Estelle Maskame.  About a week into early November, I was searching iBooks for new books to read, even though I still have a ton books on my TBR list. When I found out that this book was on sale from its original price, I snatched it up immediately without a second thought and I'm so lucky I did.  This was one of the books that I wanted to read for a while.  Now, this review was supposed to come out on Friday, but I actually finished writing it on Friday night, so I guess today there'll be two posts, if you read what I had posted earlier!  Let's jump right in.

'Tis the Season Book Tag ft. Jordan: My Flourishing Retrospect



How’s it going everyone. I hope you’re all having a fantastic day!  Today, I’ll be doing the ‘Tis The Season Book Tag, with a twist!  I will be doing this post with my twin sister, Jordan, who blogs over at My Flourishing Retrospect.  Now, we’ve always wanted to do some kind of post together and even though we planned on doing this a long time ago, it never came together.  But luckily this time we were finally able to sit down and do something that we could do for our blogs, one that’s more themed for my blog one that is more themed for her blog.  Originally, this was supposed to go out on Christmas, but things ended up getting in the way.  Luckily, we had time now and even though December is almost over, it's better late than never!  Now, let’s jump right in and answer some Q’s.

Paranormalcy by Kiersten White - Book Review

Paranormalcy Book Cover
How’s it going everyone. Today, I’ll be reviewing Paranormalcy by Kiersten White. Near the end of October, I found this book in iBooks for a really great deal and I automatically snatched it up when I could. I had my eye on this book for a while, but kind of forgot about it underneath my TBR pile until I found it again and started reading immediately.  Let jump right in with my review.

Cheyenne by Lisa L. Wiedmeier - Book Review

Cheyenne Book Cover
How’s it going everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve posted on here. Today, I’ll be reviewing Cheyenne by Lisa L. Wiedmeier.  I've had this book for a long while and I finally got around to reading it just recently back in early November.  I tried starting the book when I first found it about two years ago, but I forgot about it overtime until I found it on Amazon's Best Seller's List.  So, I snatched it right up again and started reading the one book I was determined to finish it this time.

Brightest Kind of Darkness by P. T. Michelle - Book Review

Brightest Kind of Darkness Book Cover
How’s it going everyone. Happy Halloween! Today, I’ll be reviewing Brightest Kind of Darkness by P.T. Michelle.  I've had my eye on this book for a while and it feels like I got it forever ago.  Since I had some time, I was able to take October 12 through the 15, to be able to sit down and actually read and finish a book!

Also, just a friendly reminder, reviews will still be sporadic until mid-December from what I can tell so far.  Most of my time currently, is spent on homework and such, it's left me little to almost no time to read books, write posts, and try to interact on social media.  Just like every school year, inspiration for my own personal writing comes with ease and reading slumps have officially, for now, become a thing of the past, but I have little to no time to do any of it, sadly.  Thank you all for being patient while I figure everything out.  Anyways, let's continue with my review!

This or That Book Tag


How's it going everyone!  I hope you’re all having a lovely day.  Today, I'm going to do the This or That Book Tag!  After snooping around on some other lovely book blogger's blogs, I came across this tag and thought it would be another great tag that I could do for the blog.  I found this tag on Kaytlyn's blog, who blog's over on The BohemianBookworm.  I loved this book tag and I thought that I would be something super fun to do.  And the fact that I am now completely out of back-up books to review on the blog after almost two years of constantly posting book reviews every Friday.  With school, reading has been pushed to the back burner in addition to a reading-slump, but I’m trying to start reading again.  I’m just doing it very slowly.  Anyways, let's get started and answer some questions!

Love & Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch - Book Review

Love & Gelato Book Cover
How’s it going everyone. Today, I’ll be reviewing Love & Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch.  This book came out a year ago and I've seen a few people talk about the book and how much they loved it.  I ended up adding this book, along with a few others, to my Book I Want to Buy TBR list that I put together a while back.  When I was in iBooks during the second to last week of August, in the young adult genre, I was in the top paid books section and I saw this book was on sale while I was scrolling through.  After reading a small sample of the story, I was really intrigued and I wanted to read more and I knew that I had to get this book.  Anyways, let's jump right in with my review.

The Trouble with Falling by Rochelle Morgan - Book Review

The Trouble with Falling Book Cover
How’s it going everyone. Today, I’ll be reviewing The Trouble with Falling by Rochelle Morgan.  This is the fourth book in the Trouble series that I had gotten back in December 2016.  Some of you may be asking why I skipped reviewing the third book in this series.  Sadly, I won't be reviewing the third book on my blog.  If you're wondering why I jumped from the second book to the fourth book.  I ended up putting the third book in the DNF pile after getting extremely annoyed with the story and the characters.  Anyways, let's jump right in with my review!

My Demon (Volume 1) by S.A. Hunter - Book Review

My Demon (Volume 1) Book Cover
How’s it going everyone! Today, I’ll be reviewing My Demon (Volume 1) by S.A. Hunter.  I had seen this author a few times when I was on iBooks.  When I saw this book, I decided to give it a try.  I was still in my romance book reading phase when I found this book back in March, so I thought and hoped it would be a great read.  Now, it's taken me forever to write this review because I didn’t know what to say until now.  Which is why this review is getting posted way later than I anticipated.  Anyways, let’s continue with my review.

Friday, September 1, 2017

Play with Me by Anna Katmore - Book Review

Play with Me Book Cover
How’s it going everyone. Today, I’ll be reviewing Play with Me by Anna Katmore.  I got this book back in April, but sadly I don’t remember how I found this book.  Anyways, I thought this was a really cute story when I read it and it’s only taken me now to finally write a review on it.  So, let’s jump right in.

Friday, August 25, 2017

Last To Know by Micalea Smeltzer - Book Review

Last To Know Book Cover
How’s it going everyone!  Today, I’ll be reviewing Last to Know by Micalea Smeltzer.  I found this book on iBooks Top Free Book chart back in May.  Because I was still in and out of my romance reading phase, I was searching everywhere for a sweet romance/contemporary story that I could read when I came across this book.  The idea of this story really interested me and I knew it was just the book I needed to help getting out of this little slump that I had been in.

Captivate by Vanessa Garden - Book Review

Captivate Book Cover
How’s it going everyone! Today, I’ll be reviewing Captivate by Vanessa Garden.  I got this book back in May during one of my normal searches for new books.  It was originally free in iBooks, but the prices have changed since then, so I was lucky to get my hands on this book when I did.  When I saw this book, I reminded me of another book cover that I'd seen another author use and when I read the description, I thought it would be a great read, even though I thought this book was about mermaids, when in reality this book was about an underwater city.  Anyways, let's jump right in!

P.S. I Like You by Kasie West - Book Review

P.S. I Like You Book Cover
How’s it going everyone. Today, I’ll be reviewing P.S. I Like You by Kasie West.  On BlogLovin', I had seen on Elizabeth's blog, Betwixt-the-Pages, talking about some of the book deals that were going on during the month of July.  This book had caught my eye because I had seen several people last year talk about P.S. I Like You, back when I just started book blogging.

Flight by Alyssa Rose Ivy - Book Review

Flight Book Cover
How’s it going everyone!  Today, I’ll be reviewing Flight by Alyssa Rose Ivy.  I found this book back in July of 2015.  Yes, I read this one a really long time ago, which was before my blog was ever created.  This was another book that I debated reviewing on my blog because it's a mix of Mature Young Adult and New Adult.  My main focus for this blog is Young Adult books and after months of debating, I decided that I loved this book way too much not to review it.  This book was during my romance reading phase.  Let's jump right in!

The Chosen Knights by Mary Ting - Book Review

The Chosen Knights Book Cover
How’s it going everyone! Today, I’ll be reviewing The Chosen Knights by Mary Ting.  Back in June, I was searching Amazon's top 100 list in search of new authors and stories to read.  Because I had seen all the books that I could see on iBooks, I decided to go check out Amazon, which gave me a little bit of a wider variety of books to choose from.  The idea of this story really intrigued me and as soon as I started reading it, I couldn't put it down.

Mirror Me by Tara St. Pierre - Book Review

Mirror Me Book Cover
How’s it going everyone!  I hope you’re all having an amazing Tuesday.  Today, I’ll be reviewing Mirror Me by Tara St. Pierre.  Now, I know I normally posts book reviews on Friday's, but today's a special day, which is why I skipped posting a review last Friday, July 21st.  I received an email from Tara asking if I would be interested in reviewing her new book, and I automatically said yes.  I loved her other book, Just a Few Inches, and I was crossing my fingers, hoping she would ask me to review her newest book when I saw the cover reveal on Twitter.  The description sounded super interesting and I could not wait to read it.  So, I want to say a very big 'thank you' to Tara for sending me an eARC (electronic Advance Readers Copy) and for sending me the finalized version of her book when she was done editing.  Also, a very big Happy Book Birthday to Mirror Me!  And now let’s jump right in!

Planet Urth by Jennifer and Christopher Martucci - Book Review

How’s it going everyone! Today, I'll be reviewing Planet Urth by Jennifer and Christopher Martucci.  I had seen this book several times in the "First in a Series in Young Adult" section on iBooks.  When I first saw this story and read the description, I did pushed it off since I'm not normally into the dystopian, apocalyptic world stories, but after seeing it multiple times, I did decided to give this book a try and see if I could find another book that I would like.

Friday, July 7, 2017

Destiny by Cindy Ray Hale - Book Review

Destiny Book Cover
How’s it going everyone! Today, I’ll be reviewing Destiny by Cindy Ray Hale.  I found this book back when the author had followed me on Twitter, which was around early March, if I remember correctly.  When I saw this book, it really piqued my interest.  I thought that it would be a great new book to read because it was different than the normal books that I had seen in the past.  The idea of the book being a Romeo and Juliet retelling really interested me and I knew I had to give it a try.

Friday, June 30, 2017

Wicked Luck by Shannon L. Maynard - Book Review

Wicked Luck Book Cover
How’s it going everyone! Today I’ll be reviewing Wicked Luck by Shannon L. Maynard.  I found this book on iBooks when I was searching to see all books that were published by CleanTeen Publishing, making my TBR pile bigger because I love finding different kinds of books to read.  When I saw this book, the cover made me very curious and when I read the description, I was extremely interested in seeing what this book was going to be.  Let me say, before I go into full detail, this book was amazing.

Friday, June 23, 2017

Queen of Someday by Sherry D. Ficklin - Book Review

Queen of Someday Book Cover
How’s it going everyone. Today, I’ll be reviewing Queen of Someday by Sherry D. Ficklin.  Some of you may remember that back in April, I posted a review for a book that she published with another author called Extracted.  When I went to see what other books she had written I found this book.  When I saw the concept of this book, I immediately thought of the TV show Reign.  And if you aren't familiar with the show Reign, that show follows the life of Mary, Queen of Scots.  Mainly the show is based upon fiction with a mix of actual history, which is why I though that this book would be a great read.  Anyways, let's jump in with my review.

Friday, June 9, 2017

Significance by Shelly Crane - Book Review

Significance Book Cover
How’s it going everyone! Today, I’ll be reviewing Significance is by Shelly Crane.  As many of you know, I like to go onto iBooks and randomly search for books.  Which I realize I do way too much because I always start off a post off by saying that.  Anyways, I had seen this book several times when I was there and I decided to give it a try and I'm really glad I did.

Home is Where the Heartbreak is by Tess Oliver - Book Review

Home is Where the Heartbreak is Book Cover
How’s it going everyone! Today, I’ll be reviewing Home is Where the Heartbreak is by Tess Oliver.  I found this book in the young adult section on iBooks in the Top Free Books section.  Because of the mood I was still in when I read Stuck in the Moment, I knew that I had to read this book next.  Before I continue with my review, sorry about not posting for two weeks.  Because of school and it being the end of the semester, I had to focus on my schoolwork since that was way more important than working on my blog at that moment in time, since this is a hobby.  Anyways, on with my review!

Friday, April 28, 2017

Stuck in the Moment by Tracie Puckett - Book Review

Stuck in the Moment Book Cover
How’s it going everyone! Today, I’ll be reviewing Stuck in the Moment by Tracie Puckett.  I had seen this book a few times, after I had read the author’s other book called, Breaking Rules.  Now, after I finished that book, around that time this book was available for pre-order so I waited to get it until I had knocked a few of my other books off my TBR list before getting my hands on this one.  After reading the description, I knew I had to read this book because I ended up getting into that weird book phase where I only wanted to read books that were about teen love stories.  Anyways, enough of my digressing, let’s continue on with my review.

Friday, April 21, 2017

Isla's Inheritance by Cassandra Page - Book Review

Isla's Inheritance Book Cover
How’s it going everyone!  Today, I’ll be reviewing Isla's Inheritance by Cassandra Page.  I came across this book when I was in iBooks in the “Reader’s Also Bought” section, when I went on one of my random searches.  When I was searching, this book in particular caught my eye. The book cover was similar to the book that I reviewed back in July called, Saving Angel.  So I guess you can say that I got the book because of the cover, but I also liked the description of the story, which made me ever more curious.

Friday, April 14, 2017

Extracted by Sherry D. Ficklin and Tyler H. Jolley - Book Review

Extracted Book Cover
How’s it going everyone. I hope you’re all having great day.  Today, I’ll be reviewing Extracted by Sherry D. Ficklin and Tyler H. Jolley.  Since I’ve read quite a few book and my options were starting to dwindle for what I could find on my own, I began searching the Clean Teen Publishing website in search of new authors.

Friday, April 7, 2017

Chasing Nikki by Lacey Weatherford - Book Review

Chasing Nikki Book Cover
How’s it going everyone! Today, I’ll be reviewing Chasing Nikki by Lacey Weatherford.  This is another great book that I loved reading.  I was basically reading one Lacey Weatherford book after another when I started my constant reading phase and this book, like all of her others that she’s written, all became books that were my favorite.

Friday, March 31, 2017

Stalk Me by Jillian Dodd - Book Review

Stalk Me Book Cover
How’s it going everyone! Today, I’ll be reviewing Stalk Me by Jillian Dodd.  I read book almost forever ago, two or three years ago maybe.  My twin, Jordan, suggested this book to me.  She had gotten all seven books on sale for a really good price and told me that I would love the story.  I was starting to develop my reading addiction when she suggested it to me and downloaded it, telling her I would give it a chance. Once I picked this book up, I could not put it and the rest of the series down.  And I ended up reading all seven books within two months.  Anyways, let’s jump into my review.

Friday, March 24, 2017

Everblue by Brenda Pandos - Book Review

Everblue Book Cover
How’s it going everyone!  I hope you’re all having a great day.  Today, I’ll be reviewing Everblue by Brenda Pandos.  This is another book that I had lost on my TBR list and finally got around to reading back in December.  After reading Just Breathe, I wanted to read another mermaid book because I was still in the mood and that was when I remember that Brenda Pandos, who also wrote The Emerald Talisman, had written a mermaid book so I instantly knew what I was going to be reading next.

Friday, March 17, 2017

Chameleon by Kelly Oram - Book Review

Chameleon Book Cover
How’s it going everyone! Today, I’ll be reviewing Chameleon by Kelly Oram.  I found this book because a friend, who knows the author, suggested this book to me.  He absolutely loved the book and because I told him I wanted to be an author and loved reading YA, he thought I would love this book.  In addition, I saw this book several times on iBooks and I got around to reading it during the end of summer in 2016, which almost feels like forever ago.

Friday, March 10, 2017

Coven by Lacey Weatherford - Book Review

Coven Book Cover
How’s it going everyone!  Today, I’ll be reviewing Coven by Lacey Weatherford.  Now this book is the sequel to the series Of Witches and Warlocks.  You’ve probably seen the first book that I reviewed back in October The Trouble with Spells if you’re curious or haven’t seen it, I suggest you go and check out that review first.

Friday, March 3, 2017

My Boyfriend Merlin by Priya Ardis - Book Review

My Boyfriend Merlin Book Cover
How’s it going everyone. Today, I’ll be reviewing My Boyfriend Merlin by Priya Ardis.  I had seen this book on iBooks several times and I kind of forgot about the book until I found it back in November and knew that I had to read it because it’s based around Merlin and the myths of Camelot.  Also, I used to watch the BBC version of Merlin and I loved that so, so much.  Anyways, I think I’m getting off topic here, back to my review.

Happy 1-Year Blogiversary to The Little Book Spy


How’s it going everyone!  I hope you’re all doing well on this fine Saturday.  Now, I know I normally post one blog post/book review once every Friday.  But, today's post is something very different from an update.  As you can see from the image above...

Friday, February 24, 2017

In Between by Jenny B. Jones - Book Review

In Between Book Cover
How’s it going everyone! Today, I'll be reviewing In Between by Jenny B. Jones.  I had seen this book several times and over looked it until I decided to give it a try.  To my surprise, it was one of my favorites books that I read in 2016.

Friday, February 17, 2017

Just Breathe by Heather Allen - Book Review

Just Breathe Book Cover
How’s it going everyone.  Today, I’ll be reviewing Just Breathe by Heather Allen.  After searching through the depths of iBooks, I randomly found this book about mermaids and I’m super glad I found this book.

The Trouble with Flirting by Rochelle Morgan - Book Review

The Trouble with Flirting Book Cover
How’s it going everyone. I hope you’re all having lovely Valentine's day.  Today I’ll be reviewing The Trouble with Flirting by Rochelle Morgan.  Many of you might remember my previous review back in October, The Trouble with Flying, which was the first book in this series.  This is the second book in the the Trouble Series, but all of the books in this series can be read as stand alone novels.  Since today is Valentine's day, I thought it would be perfect to give everyone another suggestion for a young adult romance book that I'm sure you'll fall head over heels for.  This books is perfect for a romantic day.

Friday, February 10, 2017

The Deepest Cut by J. A. Templeton - Book Review

The Deepest Cut Book Cover
How’s it going everyone! Today, I'll be reviewing The Deepest Cut by J.A. Templeton.  Now this was a book that I found in the Free Starter Series in the young adult section.  When I read the description, it was about a girl who could see and talk to the dead.  This kind of reminded me of Ghost Whisper, which is a TV show about someone who would help the dead cross over to the other side, if you didn’t know what that show was about.  Even though that show was fiction, it still scares me to this day.  Anyways let’s just say this is probably one of the creepiest books that I have ever read and sleeping at night after reading this was not fun.

Friday, February 3, 2017

The Forgotten Ones by Laura Howard - Book Review

The Forgotten Ones Book Cover
How’s it going everyone! Today, I'll be reviewing The Forgotten Ones by Laura Howard.  I gotten the sample for this book a long, long time ago and downloaded it because I had previously planed on reading it after I finished reading a previous book.  It wasn't until October had came around when I realized that I never got around to reading it.  I also didn’t realize this book was really short.  When I opened it, the only thought that went though my mind after I discovered it in the lost abyss called my iBooks library was, why didn't I read this sooner?

Friday, January 20, 2017

Spells and Sorcery by S. Usher Evans - Book Review

Spells and Sorcery Book Cover
How’s it going everyone! Today, I' ll be reviewing Spells and Sorcery by S. Usher Evans.  Like I’ve mentioned in a couple of my previous reviews, I had followed a couple authors on twitter and that was how I found out about their books, whether they were already released or going to be released.  I preordered this book just when it was getting released, and let me tell you…  This book is very magical and is a must read.

Friday, January 13, 2017

Cipher by Aileen Erin - Book Review

Cipher Book Cover
How’s it going everyone.  I hope you’re having an amazing day!  Today, I’ll be reviewing Cipher by Aileen Erin.  Like I mentioned in my previous review, Cursed by Christina Bauer, I found this book on iBooks in the Popular Series in the YA section. Anyways, I’m so glad I got this book when I did, not only because of the current price, but I think this was a really good book that you did not want to put down.

Friday, January 6, 2017

Cursed by Christina Bauer - Book Review

Cursed Book Cover
How’s it going everyone!  I hope you’re all having a Happy New Year!  I still can’t believe it’s the new year of 2017, time is going by so fast.  Today I’ll be reviewing Cursed by Christina Bauer.  I found this book in the Young Adult section in the Popular Series on iBooks.  This book was a free series starter when I got a hold of it with another book called Cipher (which is no longer free).  That review is going to be out next week (January 13th), but for now let’s get back to this current book review.
