If you guys thought I lost my mind last year doing the blog tour for The Raging Ones, you should see me now. TODAY'S THE DAY: my tour stop for The Last Hope. I can't believe this duology is over. Special thank-yous to Wednesday Books for inviting me to be a tour host and Krista and Becca Ritchie for answering a few questions!

There's something about prose that ties us all together in the most intimate of ways. We seek out these lines to tell our story or to hear it reflected back to us.

It's an outlet. It's self expression. It's soul baring truth and painful realities. It's hope. Jessyca Thibault is one of the newest voices building ground of her own within the community and with the successful releases of "doll eyes." and "glass girl." I have a feeling readers will be hearing her name a lot more in the future.

I recently had the opportunity to have a quick chat with Jessyca Thibault, who I admire greatly.

During the course of this interview we discussed the poetry community, what writing means to her (and what her writing process is), how old she was when she began writing, who we have to thank for giving her an extra push when it came to self-publishing, what her mother almost named her and where she draws the most information from.

If there's one thing you should know of me, by now, it's that I have a massive amount of love for the duo of writers, and twins, Krista and Becca Ritchie. They are to my twenties what J.K. Rowling was to my childhood, which is to say that they have shaped my love of literature in different ways. When I first heard that the two were releasing a new series in the young adult world, I knew I had to jump at any chance that may come my way.

Their latest offering, The Raging Ones, was one of my most anticipated releases of 2018. The novel, out August 14th, is their first published YA novel and, well, can you guys feel my excitement? Yes? No? Maybe?

Regardless, I am so excited to be participating in the official blog tour celebrating the novels release.

Spoiler alert, guys: it's probably definitely one of my favourite (!!!!) YA books of the year. #BUTWHOSSHOCKED
