Happy Friday! I’ll be honest guys, I almost skipped this letter because – to my great surprise – apparently I have only ever read a handful of books starting with the letter “J,” and cannot find any on my TBR with that letter.
I literally could not find any on my TBR, so if you have a suggestion, tell me in the comments!
Happy Friday! I hope those in the US had a great Memorial Day weekend. I’m currently in New York for BookCon and I’m so excited! This will be my second year going and I can’t wait for all the bookish fun! Apparently, I don’t know of very many books starting with an “I” that I haven’t read, so if you have any suggestions let me know!
Happy Friday! I hope everyone had a great week. Obviously, I would have the entire Harry Potter series here but for the sake of this post, I only included my favorite one. Also, I wasn’t sure if Hamlet counts or not since technically it’s a play, but I love Hamlet so I’m including it!
WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Sam @ Taking on a World of Words in which the three W’s stand for:
WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY READING?Skyward by Brandon Sanderson. This is my first Sanderson novel and I’m really excited!
WHAT DID YOU RECENTLY FINISH READING?Slayer by Kiersten White. You guys, this book is seriously so much fun. I cannot wait for everyone to read it!
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’LL READ NEXT?We Hunt the Flames by Hafsah Faizal. I’ve been waiting for this book ever since Hafsah first announced she was in the midst of writing something and I hope it lives up to all the hype!
Title: When Life Gives You Demons
Author: Jennifer Honeybourn
Rating: ★★★★

I would like to thank the awesome ladies at the Swoon Reads booth at BookCon for recommending this book; they had me sold at humorous contemporary + paranormal. I knew from the first page that I was going to be seriously entertained while reading this. When Life Gives You Demons was the perfect fun summer read!
In addition to trying to pass her classes and studying with her cute math tutor, Shelby spends her time outside of high school training to be an exorcist with her great-uncle, a Catholic priest. I think my favorite part of reading When Life Gives You Demons is how much it reminded of The Mediator series, which remains of my favorite series ever (seriously, if you don’t know what I’m talking about go check out those books). I love the premise of a high schooler that, in addition to worrying about exams and crushes, also has to find time to expel the ghosts / demons lurking around. I do wish the book had been a bit longer; the ending definitely felt rushed and I think it could have benefited from a few more chapters. When Life Gives You Demons was extremely fun and light-hearted and I really hope to see more books featuring plots similar to this in the future!
