Hi! I’m Rebecca, a teenager who loves reading and reviewing books! I have had this blog for over three years, and it’s been an amazing journey. GBU Books has grown from a Tumblr blog to a Facebook page to an actual website with over 4,750 followers. Besides reviewing, I have a couple of weekly segments, which you can read about in the tabs above. I do accept books in exchange for an honest review, but please check my review policy first. So check out the website, ask questions, and don’t forget to click the follow button! Note: Any pictures I post are not mine unless I say otherwise.

This is such a good, clever, fast-paced, suspenseful, and humorous novel. Perfect for middle grade readers, and I thoroughly enjoyed it as well! Hyperbole and a Half: Unfortunate Situations, Flawed Coping Mechanisms, Mayhem, and Other Things That Happened by Allie Brosh A very entertaining, cute, and poignant story that I could breeze through. Some truthful and funny moments in here as well! My True Love Gave to Me: Twelve Holiday Stories by Stephanie Perkins This will definitely not be a full review, but I just finished this and thought I’d give my thoughts on each story :) Midnights by Rainbow Rowell: 5/5 I love Rainbow’s writing style, I always have.
