Book Review (Courtesy of NetGalley.com) Title: The Revolution of Jack Frost Author: K.M. Robinson Book blurb from Amazon.com: No one inside the snow globe knows that Morozoko Industries is controlling their weather, testing them to form a stronger race that can survive the fall out from the bombs being dropped in the outside world--all they know is that they must survive the harsh Winter that lasts a month and use the few days of Spring, Summer, and Fall to gather enough supplies to survive. When the seasons start shifting, Genesis and her boyfriend, Jack, know something has gone wrong.

Book Review Title: Even the Darkest Stars (Book 1) Author: Heather Fawcett Book Blurb from Amazon.com: Kamzin has always dreamed of becoming one of the Emperor’s royal explorers, the elite climbers tasked with mapping the wintry, mountainous Empire and spying on its enemies. She knows she could be the best in the world, if only someone would give her a chance. But everything changes when the mysterious and eccentric River Shara, the greatest explorer ever known, arrives in her village and demands to hire Kamzin—not her older sister Lusha, as everyone had expected—for his next expedition. This is Kamzin’s chance to prove herself—even though River’s mission to retrieve a rare talisman for the emperor means climbing Raksha, the tallest and deadliest mountain in the Aryas.  Then Lusha sets off on her own mission to Raksha with a rival explorer who is determined to best River, and Kamzin must decide what’s most important to her: protecting her sister from the countless perils
Book Review Title: The Traitor's Kiss (Book 1) Author: Erin Beaty Book Blurb from Amazon.com : An obstinate girl who will not be married. A soldier desperate to prove himself. A kingdom on the brink of war. With a sharp tongue and an unruly temper, Sage Fowler is not what they’d call a proper lady―which is perfectly fine with her.

Hello everyone! This is my first blog in over a decade. Shocking right?! I'm ready to start off fresh, and new, with a different perspective on life. When I created my first blog I was 13 years old and thought I was the sh*t. I would put so many different images and make my page look as colorful as possible. I would rearrange and fix my blog constantly after school and forget my homework. Now... my life is very different. I have two wonderful cats: one is full black named Silas and the other is an old-ass-furry-fluffy cat named Nemo. I got married March 21st 2017 and have been with my husband a little over 3 years now. I thought I should start off my blog with a little intro to who I am and what I'll be posting. My name is Sequoia, it's a little weird but I've gotten used to it. I sometimes use my husband's name when ordering take-out because I'm always afraid people won't say it or spell it correctly. I am 26 years old and I still love reading You
