When ice skater Lia agrees to teach a skating class at her skating rink, she never thought that her co-teacher would be Pierce Miller, local celebrity, and probable future NHL player. All Laced Up is a classic teen romance. Shy and uncertain Lia misunderstands Pierce’s confidence for cockiness. It isn’t until she starts following him anonymously on a hockey social media site, that she see’s a different side of him. Continue reading “This Chick Read: All Laced Up by Erin Fletcher”
P.S. I Like You is a straight up young adult romance. If you follow my blog, you know I like YA books, but usually they are in the fantasy genre, or historical. This book is a contemporary romance set in high school, which I will admit, was a long time ago for me. However, I received this book in my Uppercase Box book club of the month and cracked it open yesterday. I listened to the author, Kasie West’s video where she talked about her idea of writing a romance without all of the technology available to them today. No texts, email, video, etc. I thought, ok, that is like how it was when I was in High School. Back in the good old days, when you passed notes and wrote letters. (Gasp!). Continue reading “This Chick Read: P.S. I Like You by Kasie West”
This cover reveal is brought to you by Entangled TEEN!
Everyone loves hockey superstar Pierce Miller. Everyone except Lia Bailey.
When the two are forced to teach a skating class to save the rink, Lia’s not sure she’ll survive the pressure of Nationals and Pierce’s ego. Not only can’t he remember her name, he signed her bottle of water like she was one of his groupies. Ugh.
But if there’s one thing Lia knows better than figure skating, it’s hockey. Hoping to take his ego down a notch—or seven—she logs into his team website under an anonymous name to give him pointers on his less-than-stellar playing.
Turns out, Pierce isn’t arrogant at all. And they have a lot in common. Too bad he’s falling for the anonymous girl online. No matter how much fun they’re starting to have in real life, she’s afraid he’s going to choose fake-Lia over the real one…
Disclaimer: This book contains a swoony hockey player (and his equally swoony friends!), one-too-many social media accounts, kisses that’ll melt ice, and a secret identity that might not be so secret after all…
Erin is a young adult author from North Carolina. She is a morning person who does most of her writing before sunrise, while drinking excessive quantities of coffee. She believes flip-flops qualify as year-round footwear, and would spend every day at the beach if she could. She has a bachelor’s degree in mathematics, which is almost never useful when writing books.
This novel is a tough one to categorize. It is definitely a Young Adult novel, but does not fall completely in the fantasy category as the title would lead you to believe. Although, this first book sets us up for a great future fantasy series, Walk on Earth a Stranger read as more of a historical novel. It takes place during the Gold Rush, when hopeful men and women made the trek across country, led by stories of golden nuggets just sitting on the ground waiting to be picked up. I grew up in California, and this part of its history has always fascinated me. I am also a fan of fantasy and was interested to see how Rae Carson was going to mix these two genres together.

This second novel in the Snow Like Ashes series was just as riveting as the first. Meira is settling into her role as queen of Winter, but being beholden to Cordell, is not how she see’s her future. Theron, Noam of Cordell’s son, and one of her love interest’s from the first novel, is still by her side, but do his future plans coincide with hers?
