BWW Review: NOT IN THE SCRIPT by Amy Finnegan

BWW Review: NOT IN THE SCRIPT by Amy Finnegan

by Bonnie Lynn Wagner — August 31, 2017

If Emma Watson was to star in a Freeform (Formerly ABC Family) TV series after growing up making movies, I would very much expect her life to be similar to what Emma Taylor goes through in NOT IN THE SCRIPT by Amy Finnegan.

BWW Review: THE SHADOW SOCIETY by Marie Rutkoski

BWW Review: THE SHADOW SOCIETY by Marie Rutkoski

by Bonnie Lynn Wagner — August 24, 2017

Good news, bookworms!  In a YA world littered with series and cliffhangers, THE SHADOW SOCIETY is that rare species in the wild known as a stand-alone novel.

BWW Review: COMPASS SOUTH by Hope Larson

BWW Review: COMPASS SOUTH by Hope Larson

by Bonnie Lynn Wagner — August 8, 2017

In high school, my favorite books were all by Tamora Pierce, beginning with her adventures about Alanna, the daring girl who switched places with her twin brother, disguised herself as a boy, and went off to learn how to be a knight while he went to the convent to study magic.

BWW Review: STORMDANCER by Jay Kristoff

BWW Review: STORMDANCER by Jay Kristoff

by Bonnie Lynn Wagner — August 7, 2017

Looking for a fantasy series as deadly and somber at times as Game of Thrones? Look no further because The Lotus Wars Trilogy by Jay Kristof will leave you just as emotionally wrecked as a book from George R.

BWW Review: HELLO, SUNSHINE by Laura Dave

BWW Review: HELLO, SUNSHINE by Laura Dave

by Bonnie Lynn Wagner — July 10, 2017

Ripped from the headlines, HELLO, SUNSHINE by Laura Dave is a fast, breezy summer read that explores familial relationships and the strength within oneself to bounce back after life throws you a curveball.

BWW Review: STAR-CROSSED by Barbara Dee

BWW Review: STAR-CROSSED by Barbara Dee

by Bonnie Lynn Wagner — June 19, 2017

I was also excited about the book because it revolved around the world of theatre, and that always gets my attention in a book.

BWW Review: LOVE YOU MORE by Lisa Gardner

BWW Review: LOVE YOU MORE by Lisa Gardner

by Bonnie Lynn Wagner — May 30, 2017

How far would you go to protect what's most important in your life? That's the question at the heart of Lisa Gardner's LOVE YOU MORE.

BWW Review: THE SCATTERING by Kimberly McCreight

BWW Review: THE SCATTERING by Kimberly McCreight

by Bonnie Lynn Wagner — May 26, 2017

If you thought THE OUTLIERS by Kimberly McCreight, which I reviewed earlier this week, was trippy and out-there, just wait until you get your hands on the brand-new sequel, THE SCATTERING.

BWW Review: AIR AND ASH by Alex Lidell

BWW Review: AIR AND ASH by Alex Lidell

by Bonnie Lynn Wagner — May 3, 2017

The series centers around Princess Nile Greysik--but before you guy, 'Ugh, a princess book', rest assured, it's not like that AT ALL.
