I finished reading Judge Stone about a month ago, and as I'm now publishing the review, I find myself having to rewrite it a bit, post the U.S. midterms that just happened. Some out there try to bring left-wing socialist people like me down; taunts, smears, lies, and even threats. And that’s why books like... Continue Reading →
Somewhere Beyond The Sea by TJ Klune Book Review
I know TJ Klune has a few series under his belt, but this is the first time, as far as I can tell, that he has done a sequel in his adult-oriented tales. And maybe he should do them more often. A lot more often. The sequel to his beloved House in the Cerulean Sea,... Continue Reading →
The Silence That Binds Us by Joanna Ho Book Review
When I finished this book, it was my fourth five-star read in a row! That’s never happened before. The Language of Seabirds, Robin Hood Book 10, The Last Ronin, and now The Silence That Binds Us. Of all those books, this is by far the longest, and I was sad when it had to end.... Continue Reading →
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin by Kevin Eastman and Tom Waltz Comic Book Review
Anyone who knows me knows I’m a huge Ninja Turtle fan. I don’t collect the comic books, I don’t like every adaptation that has been brought forth, and there are way too many said adaptations of them at this point. But they have had such an enormous impact on my life. They helped get me... Continue Reading →
The Language of Seabirds by Will Taylor Book Review
The Language of Seabirds has a cover that’s pretty typical for the now-established LGBTQ genre in young adult fiction. There have been ones with similar covers (The Gravity of Us, Darkhearts) that have disappointed me in the past, and I'd just finished another two-male relationship book that was just okay, so I at first wasn’t...

Avatar: The Dawn of Yangchen by F.C. Yee Book Review
This is my third read of the Avatar book series, and honestly? I’m glad these books exist. The world that Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Koneitzko made gets more and more beautiful with every new part of it we learn, from Aang to Korra to Kyoshi and now Yangchen. Avatar: The Last Airbender is my... Continue Reading →
The Rebel’s Guide To Pride by Matthew Hubbard Book Review
While reading The Rebel’s Guide To Pride, I thought about the thousands of Palestine Action hostages in the UK, imprisoned just for speaking out against the biggest war crime in generations, and how they’ve been keeping up the fight and risking their entire lives. It’s just like here, down to the corrupt leaders bad-mouthing the... Continue Reading →
Instructions For Dancing by Nicola Yoon Book Review
After the longest book I’d ever read and finishing a four-year project…I wasn’t in the mood to get into anything big. I figured, let’s pick something for my next read that was not gonna be a burden to get through. I found Instructions for Dancing at my library, and figured, I’ve never read a Nicola... Continue Reading →
The Dryad Storm by Laurie Forest Book Review
Okay. So, The Dryad Storm, the last book in the long-running Black Witch series, is not just the longest book in the series at 724 pages, with all the others having 600 or a little over, but the text is smaller too, to the point where I think if this were the same font size... Continue Reading →
Blame by Simon Mayo Book Review
Simon Mayo is responsible for one of my favourite book trilogies as a teen, the Itch trilogy. Long story short, it was about a science geek named Itchingham (a curse of a name, I know) who discovers a radioactive rock not found on the periodic table which had the power to be a new energy...
