Welcome to my weird world!
There’s a disclaimer at the start of this book saying the people in this book…kind of push their luck, and it’s probably not for the best to try to end up like them. Then the rest of the book seems to be quite the argument for the opposite, making the off-the-grid criminal life look like... Continue Reading →
DNF @ 40% I couldn’t finish this one. I tried to get into it and failed miserably. Which surprised me. For one, I almost never DNF books, even if they’re really tearing me down. I could count on one hand the amount of books I’ve picked up and DNFed over the last five years. And... Continue Reading →
I wasn’t familiar with Harlan Coben before I picked up this book, but he’s apparently such a household name that him as the author is advertised more than the actual title. And you know? If his other books are anything like this one, maybe that’s justifiable. I found I Will Find You because I was... Continue Reading →
This is definitely a reading slump killer. No, actually, it’s more than that. It might just be the book that convinces your kid to start reading. Six friends are going on this little spring break trip together, meeting some of their friends from school at the beach. There’s the timid and grieving Red and her... Continue Reading →
I think this book literally rescued me. All is not well in my life right now. And, well, neither was Sasha’s life, and this book basically slapped me in the face to tell me to get myself back together. If ever you’re in need of a heartwarming feel-good book with relatable drama and enjoyable silliness,... Continue Reading →
Maybe I just wasn’t in the mood for this book. Because everything in me feels that I should’ve loved this story with all my heart. And yet something just didn’t work for me, and whatever that was, it really messed with the rest of my experience. So, to start my review of Darkhearts, here’s the... Continue Reading →
I’ve been an Amy Tintera fan for a long time. Her Reboot duology was one of my first big pleasures as a teenage reader, a love story of a warrior learning her humanity again. I was relatively impressed with her Ruined trilogy as well. It was incredibly easy to devour. Then All These Monsters really... Continue Reading →
I got exactly what I wanted out of this book, something I haven’t had much of lately. And even if I did have some recent satisfying reads, which, again, I haven’t, I’m sure Pride & Prejudice & Pittsburgh would’ve still stood out. Audrey Cameron is a teen from Pittsburgh who has dreams of going to... Continue Reading →
A gay Romeo & Juliet sort of tale? Has been done before, and that shouldn't be surprising. The very theme of forbidden love is incredibly relatable for anyone in the LGBTQ+ community. And yet, it shouldn't really matter if something's a bit familiar if you can speed through it easy peasy. Without spoiling too much... Continue Reading →
I read the first Serpent & Dove and devoured it. I gave it my highest grade, being one of the most fun reads in ages at the time. But Blood & Honey, despite having many similar elements, struggled to keep my attention the same way. The last Serpent & Dove was about a secret witch... Continue Reading →
