In The Unexpected Everything, Andie’s perfectly planned summer gets completely scrapped when her father’s political scandal changes everything. She ends up spending the summer doing the farthest thing from her planned pre-med internship: walking dogs. As someone who has also unexpectedly been a part-time dogwalker, I can relate a bit. But let’s all be honest, […]

We’ve been chatting a lot about Alex, Approximately on Riveted these past couple weeks and by now, you are totally in love with it right? If not, go read the extended excerpt! It’s available until April 17. I’ll just add my voice in saying it’s a perfect twist on the they-don’t-know-they-love-their-nemesis formula. If you’re like me […]

Deb Caletti is one prodigious author!  She’s probably most known for Honey, Baby, Sweetheart—which was a National Book Award Finalist when it was published in 2004—but over the years since, she’s been continuously writing away. This week, Riveted is featuring two of Deb’s books, an extended excerpt of Essential Maps for the Lost and a […]

I love movies. A lot. In fact, I’ve seen so many movies that if I listed them out, they’d make their own brilliant Riveted post! For as long as I can remember, my dad and I spent a vast majority of our time watching movies. We maybe couldn’t agree on much else, but if the question […]

There is something timeless and romantic about piratical behavior in fiction. Who were these men and women leading a lawless life, stealing from the rich and sailing the open seas? Pirates were outlaws, the bad guys.

I confess, I’m completely biased when it comes to the age-old debate over zombies vs. unicorns. My firm alliance with sparkles and magic, as opposed to rotting sacks of mobile flesh, is kind of a no-brainer (except not, because Team Unicorn all the way). But for those of you out there who are still undecided, […]

Hi all! I’m Andi from Andi’s ABCs. I’ve been running my blog since January of 2013 as a way to share my love of accessories, books and clothes. I focus mostly on young adult books with a few new adult and adult romances mixed in. On occasion you will come across a clothing or accessory […]

Happy Monday! We’re kicking off this week with swashbuckling action and smoldering passion in Nicole Castoman’s Blackhearts AND its sequel, Blacksouls! Castroman’s reimagining of Blackbeard the pirate entranced readers everywhere when it published last year and with the sequel on sale tomorrow (4/11), we’re so excited to dive back into the crystal blue water of […]

Cuddling up with a beachy romance helps me forget the cold/windy/rainy weather outside. If you’re like me, desperate for warmth in literary form, give Alex, Approximately by Jenn Bennett a try! In this delightfully charming teen spin on You’ve Got Mail, the one guy Bailey Rydell can’t stand is actually the boy of her dreams—she just […]

Essential Maps for the Lost is about Madison Murray, who takes a swim one morning in a lake and collides with a woman’s dead body in the water. The woman, who leapt from a Seattle bridge, was the mother of Billy Youngwolf Floyd, and as Billy and Mads’ lives begin to intertwine, we discover their […]
