Review by Becca... HEARTLESS By Marissa Meyer Series: No Publisher: Feiwel & Friends (November 8, 2016) Hardcover: 464 pages Goodreads | Amazon Long before she was the terror of Wonderland — the infamous Queen of Hearts — she was just a girl who wanted to fall in love. Catherine may be one of the most desired girls in Wonderland, and a favorite of the yet-unmarried King of Hearts, but her interests lie elsewhere.

At the risk of offending the King and infuriating her parents, she and Jest enter into an intense, secret courtsh...

Hey guys! Becca here with a super special guest post from Marie Lu for THE MIDNIGHT STAR Blog Tour! I'm so excited that Reading Teen had the chance to pry a tiny bit into Marie's mind and find out some of her favorite/best superpowers ever, so without further blah blah from me, here's Marie... Top 5 Best/Favorite Superpowers Ever 5. Flying. I’ve had enough awesome flying dreams to know I’d like to do this, but only if I also don’t get my skin ripped off by all the crazy wind. 4. Metalbending. Magneto—and Toph—are pretty formidable. I would like to be formidable too, inside my custom metal armor. 3. Billionaire-ing. Let’s face it—money seems to buy all the superpowers you could ever desire. Iron suit that lets you fly? Check. Utility belt that does everything? Check. Batmobile? Check. Plus, you get to have a pretty nice house, too. 2. Traveling through space in the blink of eye. (Safely, of course.) If I could hop from galaxy to galaxy in a safe li...

By Becca... I'm super duper excited about today's blog tour post, because I get to write about which Monday I would love to relive for seven days straight and which Monday I would LEAST like to relive over and over for 7 days. I'm not saying that some of these things happened in real life and I'm not saying that they didn't. Maybe I made it all up! I'll never tell!  My FAVORITE Monday I'd LOVE to relive would consist of: Being back in Orlando, with all of my book buddies at ALA, talking books and finding new ones to love. I never realized that I had a niche of people who were just like me until I went out and found them. Being from Oklahoma, it's kind of hard to find some peeps who like to spend all their time thinking, living, and breathing books, but finding a place where you're surrounded by them and books as well? Well, that's a no-brainer! I'd love to spend the same Monday I did last week, over and over again, because it...
