Sierra's Picks

Sierra became an avid book reader, thanks in particular to the Harry Potter series. Her appetite for books strengthened to the point where her college degree became one of Literature and a minor in Writing. As a kid, she wrote her own stories and perhaps someday, if she can get herself together, she could write her own books. A fan of mostly Fiction, Science Fiction and Fantasy, and Young Adult, Sierra does dabble in History, another of her not-so-guilty pleasures.

Sierra is a life-long resident of West Rutland and a proud dog mom of a beautiful female golden retriever named Reese (Reese Cup, Reese Piecey, etc). Her absolutely favorite female book character is Celaena Sardothien of the Throne of Glass series, of which is her absolute favorite book series of all time.

If this hits every checkpoint in your list (as it did on mine), I highly recommend this series with every fiber of my being! And I cannot get over the magic. Oh my goodness, the magic! The magic system itself is so original and intriguing. so much so that I devoured this book in a single day! And I continue to steamroll through the rest of the series. I cannot recommend this series enough.

This is such a cute story about being helplessly in love and scrumptious misunderstandings. The art is absolutely gorgeous and everyone is named after cheese (my favorite food group). This is a book that makes you hungry for more of their love!
