Welcome to my weird world!
Welp, I picked up the sequel to the porn book Get In My Swamp, even after I gave it two stars out of five. I didn’t really hate the book or was even disgusted by it. If anything, if it didn’t have some glaring flaws, I maybe would’ve given it a recommended grade. The two... Continue Reading →
Why must books go out of print? Why can’t we have some kind of deal with publishers that they will continue printing some of their old works if requested, even if it would be pricier to do so? I held off on this book series for so long, and now you can only order pre-owned... Continue Reading →
I’m about to start reading Tahereh Mafi’s continuation of her world-famous Shatter Me series, and let’s just say I’ve had quite the long-term relationship with it. I published reviews of each book on my old website, and I actually have the review for the last one up here. Besides the new one, there’s been six... Continue Reading →
The Robin Hood books are my comfort-food go-to. I haven’t yet written reviews for books 4-7; a lot of them would mostly go around the same thing; how it’s a lot of fun to see our heroes outsmart corrupt lawmakers, law enforcers and dishonourable bandits. The last one had a truly cruel juvie prison and... Continue Reading →
After I put this book down…I cried. Not just for Haymitch. But for everyone else who are having their friends and family ripped from their lives by corrupt officers, armies…there’s a lot we bottle up sometimes. For a fair bit of this book, I was expecting a slightly lower rating than what I ended up... Continue Reading →
Fair warning, first and foremost: this is definitely an 18+ kind of book. Amazing what you can find out about while you’re mindlessly digging for details about the next Shrek movie. You might come across a viral smutty fanfiction take with a very suggestive cover and title. I’m not someone who usually reads let alone... Continue Reading →
If we have more books like this for people to fawn over and delight with, we will be having a future generation of considerate, loving and intelligent kids. No wonder book bans are so big right now. There are three boys in this cover, but the narrator is the one in the jersey, Ezra Miller.... Continue Reading →
My first exposure to the first book, Ready Player One, was in movie form when my uncle dragged me to see it, and I originally gave it a B+, but upon retrospect, it turned into an A+ favourite. I then read the book and appreciated it was fairly different and gave it nine out of... Continue Reading →
This is the final Serpent & Dove book, and it’s a monstrous 600 pages. After the last book, Blood & Honey, took more effort than I expected to get through, I was a bit nervous about plowing through this one. I gave Blood and Honey 3 stars out of 5, but thinking about it in... Continue Reading →
A year ago, I tried and failed to read Rise of the Red Hand, a book that promised a similar premise to Empress of a Thousand Skies. Thousand Skies was a book I’d heard of with an interesting-sounding plot, but I never gave it a chance. Now I finally have, and the premise was executed... Continue Reading →
