Book Review…The Area 51 Files by Julie Buxbaum When Sky Patel-Baum is sent to live with her mysterious uncle, she didn't imagine she'd end up here: Area 51. A top-secret military base with a bajillion rules and so classified not even the president knows its secrets. Also, it turns out the place is full of aliens. Lots and lots of aliens. But they prefer to be called Break Throughs, thank you very much. As Sky sets out to explore her extraordinary new home with her pizza-obsessed pet hedgehog Spike, she meets her otherworldly next-door neighbor Elvis and his fluffy pup, Pickles. But something mysterious is afoot in Area 51. Some of the Break Throughs have gone missing... at the exact same time Sky arrived. Where could they be? How can Sky and her uncle convince everyone they had nothing to do with the disappearance? And why does the macaroni and cheese at Area 51 Middle have eyeballs in it? New best friends Sky, Elvis, Spike, and Pickles try to crack the case, but the clock is ticking… My son and I had a blast with this book! I can't even tell you how many times we laughed so hard our stomachs hurt! Sky, Elvis and their pets are wonderful characters! The friendship and bonds that were created between the characters was sweet! The writing is great for the younger kids and the illustrations add to the fun and entertainment! The mystery is an added bonus to fun and adventure! It's a great book. I really hope to read more about Sky and her friends! Thank you Tbr and Beyond Tours and Julie Buxbaum for sharing this fantastic story with us! #TheArea51Files #JulieBuxbaum #bookreview #tbrandbeyondtours #kidsbooks #booktours #bookrecommendation #books #read #bookish #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booksta #readingwithkids #middlegradebooks #iBooks #igreads #DelacortePress (at Cleveland, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CirNE46gia3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🦇 Didn't See That Coming Book Review 🦇
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐
❝ The patriarchy is very far from being smashed. In fact, maybe they're even a little bit worse, because we pretend that the patriarchy is done and we're in a society with gender equality, so we can't even fight it because the fight's over. How do I fight something that's already playing dead but is still very much alive behind closed doors? ❞
❓ #QOTD What are your favorite video games? ❓
🦇 Kiki Siregar is a badass gamer girl brimming with confidence and sass. She never hesitates to be herself...unless she's online. When she gets harassed as a girl playing a single-shooter game, she decides to recreate herself and anonymously starts playing as a guy. She even makes a friend--Sourdawg, who loves baking so much that he's the human equivalent of a sweet cinnamon roll. When Kiki's parents transfer her to an elite private school her senior year, she learns that the harassment doesn't only happen online. Worse yet: Sourdawg attends the same school. Can Kiki be herself in such a strict school, and uncover Sourdawg's identity in the process?
[ Find my review below. ]
💜 Kiki is FIRE. She's sassy, independent, and refuses to sit silent when the world tries to pre-package her into the pristine image of what men expect her to be. Kiki is perhaps one of the most self-assured, confident YA characters I've encountered this year. Unfortunately, the misogyny and sexism she faces lead to reverse character development, causing Kiki to doubt herself. She's forced to fall in line with ultra-conservative rules that favor boys over girls. Sutanto does a wonderful job of conveying the realities women face both on and offline. Even if you're not a gamer, the messages here are universal. Sutanto is also skilled at creating realistic, likable characters. Did I agree with every choice Kiki made? No, definitely not. Did I feel for her and want to give her a huge, warm hug? Definitely. The interactions between Kiki and supporting characters (namely Sourdawg online and her love interest at school) are the adorable fluff you need to offset the disgusting misogyny she experiences from both GROWN MEN and frustrating teenage boys. Thank you, Sutanto, for not dragging out Sourdawg's identity, either. Every secondary character is a delight as well.
🦇 My only real hangup with this story was the pacing, which does drag a little. However, Sutanto does a wonderful job of demonstrating how a "rebellious" female in a conservative, Asian culture can defy outdated concepts of misogyny and sexism without disrespecting her culture or elders outright. Kiki also defies every stereotype and bias thrown at her as Sutanto demonstrates the reality of our times. Whether in Asia or America, these problems still exist. We're not done fighting for gender equality. It's just playing dead, making the fight all the more difficult.
❝ I guess it's much easier for the school if a harassed girl keeps her head down and learns to accept abuse, but I am done keeping my head down. I'm done swallowing my anger and pretending that everything's okay. I'm not crazy just because I speak my mind. I'm a person with equal rights to those of everybody else here, and I am done staying silent to make boys feel comfortable. ❞
🦇 Recommended for fans of You've Got Mail and Jesse Q. Sutanto's Well, That Was Unexpected. This is a sweet, thought-provoking YA romance with a refreshing perspective on inequality, bullying, and feminism; a worthy read!
✨ The Vibes ✨
🎮 Gamer Girl / Secret Identity
🕹️ Friends to Lovers
👾 South Asian Rep
🕹️ Down With the Patriarchy
🎮 Contemporary YA Romance

👸🏾 BLOG + BOOKSTAGRAM TOUR 👸🏾 Thrilled today to be part of the @tbrbeyondtours blog + bookstagram tour for THE BLACK QUEEN by @brownboywriting, which released yesterday from @delacortepress! I'm coming at you today with my... 🌹 Top 5 Reasons to Read THE BLACK QUEEN! 1. Small-town secrets and lies, and examination of how they reverberate through generations “Hate does something to you if you hold onto it for too long. It can turn you into the very thing you’ve been taught to loathe. ... All of it poisoned me. ... That night in my mother’s car changed everything. Made me realize how we’ve both suffered and been affected by the sins and expectations of our parents.” (p. 384-385) 2. Exploration of racism in the Deep South “Separate but equal is still as Southern as iced tea.” (p. 15) 3. Exploration of grief, what it means to lose someone as a teenager/young adult “Nothing sounds good enough to say in front of who knows how many people at tonight’s game. Nothing I’ve scribbled down so far feels like me. Or her, for that matter. “This is why teenagers shouldn’t have to eulogize our friends. We’re supposed to have more time to get this right.” (p. 284) 4. Real talk about how white people respond to accusations of racism, whether systemic or individual, overt or unintentional “Why is it that every time a white person gets called out about their mistreatment of us, they flip the script by accusing *us* of ruining *their* lives by having the nerve to not sit back and take it?” (p. 250) 5. Discussion (geared towards the white reader) of what it means to be actively anti-racist “Learn. Listen. Don’t make your guilt the emotional baggage of others to deal with. It’s not their job to hold our hands and make us feel better.” 🌹 And there you have it! I'll put the synopsis in the comments here for you, and check out my blog post at Book-Keeping (link in bio) for more content plus a link to the full tour schedules! Thanks so much to the publisher and author for the eARC. 👸🏾👸🏾👸🏾 #theblackqueen #theblackqueen👸🏿 #theblackqueen👸🏾 #jumataemill #yathrillers #yathriller #yathrillerbook #yathrillerbooks #blogtour #bookstagramtour #bookkeepingblog https://www.instagram.com/p/CoIdVb_u-fm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

• ARC Review: Not Here to Stay Friends •
One of my biggest complaints about books with the friends to lovers trope is that the main characters usually aren’t truly just friends in the beginning. But y’all – “Not Here to Stay Friends” gets it oh-so very right.
The story follows Sloane, a teenager from Tennessee, as she travels to LA to spend the summer with Liam, her childhood best friend who moved away when his dad’s production company hit it big.
But soon after she arrives, she learns that her summer of fun isn’t going to be what she thought: Liam has been roped into being a production assistant on his dad’s new reality dating show, which happens to be a tie-in to her favorite teen drama.
AND THEN, Sloane ends up a contestant, and the actor who plays the main character on the teen drama and who is the “bachelor” on the dating show, sets his sights on her – and turns to Liam for advice.
Eaoeciakly So yes, this is very much a YA version of The Bachelor-meets UnREAL-meets Win a Date with Tad Hamilton – and yes, it *does* work. Kaitlyn Hill does a great job balancing all the elements at play with a great cast of supporting characters, a tight plot, and just enough details.
There are some weird family dynamics, especially with Liam and his dad, that I wish were explored a bit more, but I definitely see how that would have slowed this book way, way down.
Esoecially because we’re here for the childhood friends to lovers plot. This one works so well because Liam and Sloane don’t realize they might have the capacity to be more than friends until she arrived in LA, and we get to experience them wrestling with feelings and friendship and the future.
It’s sweet, it’s swoony, it’s sarcastic (Sloane and Liam are both very funny!), and, in the end, it’s a seriously fun read that will leave you smiling.
4🌟
🌴A massive thank you to @delacortepress for the opportunity to read and review an advance copy! “Not Here to Stay Friends” is out April 4th!🎬

No Plan B is the third book in the Reacher series written by Andrew Child and originally written by Lee Child. "Reacher sees a woman pushed under a bus and goes after the man who did it. Reacher sees something the killer didn't want him to see. In the chaos Reacher is pinned by debris. He starts looking into what he saw and meets Hannah, whose ex-husband was also murdered. Together they head to Winsome, Mississippi, home of Minerva Correctional Facility where they hope tp find the men responsible. But money and desperate men will make it hard for Reacher to serve justice..." Andrew Child writes a different Reacher. This Reacher is less reluctant to get involved. No one has to talk him into helping to punish the bad guys. The fights are very descriptive as to what Reacher is doing - angles and torque and mass and velocity. This Reacher likes a fight. There are several storylines here. They all come together at the end. It's a different class of bad guy for Reacher this time. And the prison is full of surprises. It feels like Andrew has settled into the character now. Fans of Reacher will enjoy this next installment. #noplanb #andrewchild #leechild #reacher #jackreacher #delacortepress #randomhouse #ballantinebooks #vigilantefiction #bookstagram #bookshelves #booknerd #readinglife #bookphotography #bookcommunity #bookblogger #sodacityreads #suspensebook #bookhaul #literarycrimefiction #homelibrary #thrillerbooks #domesticthriller #crimefiction #thriller #characterdrivenbooks #mysterythriller #bookrecs https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj71jadrwfa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🐉RATING: 🔥🔥🔥🔥/5 How far would you go to protect your home and those you love? What would you sacrifice? Spells for Forgetting, by Adrienne Young, is a small town murder mystery with bits of magic woven throughout. The residents of Saoirse Island are full of secrets. But when August Salt returns to spread his mother’s ashes, the town’s leaders scramble to keep their devious actions buried in the past. As the story unfolds, additional mysteries and lies are unearthed, making everyone appear suspicious. And when the guilty are cornered, they become a threat. The novel combines a cold-case murder mystery, ominous townfolk, layers of deception, and a second-chance romance. I enjoyed the duplicity of the characters and the island's foreboding messages. Young does a great job creating an atmospheric backdrop of uneasiness. A feeling of things being a bit off. Is it the magic of the island or something darker lurking under the veneer of this picturesque town? Read the book, and unlock the island’s secrets. ❓Have you ever lived in a small town?
