Happy Monday everyone!  Today I'm sharing two mini reviews with you:  The Grace Year by Kim Liggett and In the Hall with the Knife ( Clue Mystery #1) by Diana Peterfreund .  I received both of these ARCs from NetGalley in exchange for honest reviews and both are available today, October 8th, 2019.  Read on to see my thoughts on them: ❋   ❋  ❋   ❋  ❋   The Grace Year by Kim Liggett is one of the most impressive upper YA dystopian novels I've had the opportunity to read in quite some time. Plus, it's easily one of the best 2019 releases I've had the opportunity to read this year. I'm so excited that I had the opportunity to give try this new novel. Kim Liggett is incredibly talented and I will certainly need to read more of her work in the future. It's a powerful combination of The Handmaid's Tale , The Hunger Games , and The Lord of the Flies that comes highly recommended from me. If you're interested in horrifically time...
