About Us

We are Em and Julia, two twin teens who have bonded over many things, including our love for reading! Julia writes the blog alone, and both Em and Julia work on the bookstagram (Em physically takes pictures and helps with set-up, and Julia edits, posts, and helps with set-up).

Julia (Blog & Bookstagram)

Julia is very excited about the blog, and loves to work on it. Like Em, she likes to read, especially realistic fiction, historical fiction, and poetry. Her favorite book is The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt. She also enjoys learning, blogging, and being outdoors.

Em (Bookstagram Only)

Em started to really love to read a couple of years ago. She loves young adult novels and biographies. Besides reading, she likes playing the flute, procrastinating, mac 'n cheese, and photography. Em's favorite book is Made You Up by Francesca Zappia. Her favorite color is orange, and my favorite number is 529. Em is great at taking pictures, and is thus the main photographer for Reading is Inevitable.

[Julia's Note: Em is very sweet and kind. She is a great friend, and I'm lucky to have her, not just because of her amazing photography skills, of course! She is so much funnier and outgoing than I'll ever be, and I believe that I admire her for that.]

Quotes: Audacity

As some of you may know by looking at my posts on our social media page (@readingisinevitable on Instagram), I am currently reading Audacity by Melanie Crowder. It is a beautiful book written in free verse, and follows the life of Clara Lemlich, a female Jewish immigrant who came to America in the early 1900s. (For the full summary of the book, click here .) I absolutely love books written in free verse, or any type of poetry, in fact! This book is so lovely that I have decided to dedicate a whole post to some of my favorite quotes or parts! (Note: I am only on page 294, and there are 366 pages, not including the extra content at the end of my local library's copy.)

Welcome

Welcome to Reading is Inevitable! This blog is run by two teens--Em and Julia--and will mainly be about books, but will also include posts about art, games, and whatever else comes up in our lives! Our first actual post will be posting tomorrow (it will be a book review!) and we would love for you all to check it out! We also have an Instagram page ( @readingisinevitable ) and an e-mail address ( readingisinevitable@gmail.com ), so if you wish to contact us, please do so through one of those or through the comments section. Now, we could just leave it at that, but we think that it would be nice for you to get to know us a bit more first!

Book Review: This is Where it Ends

Title: This is Where it Ends Author: Marieke Nijkamp Rating: 4.15 out of 5 Genre: YA Realistic Fiction Reviewer: Em "Everyone has a reason to fear the boy with the gun." This book is incredibly interesting. After you read the title and the inside cover, you already want to sit down and read it all they way through. Why else would I read it for five hours on a weekday, and then read another hour the next day to finish it? This story is told from four different perspectives, and the story happens over fifty-four minutes. It is about four seniors starting a new semester when a familiar face becomes a school shooter.

Book Review: The Last Days of Rabbit Hayes

Title: The Last Days of Rabbit Hayes Author: Anna McPartlin Genre: Realistic Fiction Rating: 4 out of 5 Reviewer: Julia I can't believe how amazingly wonderful this book is. I can't believe that I put off reading it for so long. (I've had the book sitting with my other TBR books for at least a year now.) This book is beautiful and so well written, and it snagged at my heart, bringing a few tears to my eyes.
