Welcome to my weird world!
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 →
How is it that after, how many is it, six different similar-themed young adult mystery thrillers, Karen M. McManus still finds ways to keep us excited for what's to happen and just relating to the heroes as easily as if they were our cousins? As much as One Of Us Is Next was a terrific...

I hopefully will never get tired of the YA genre, especially since a fair few are much easier to digest than adult ones. With this one, I felt a bit like I'd already read it, and with it came some fatigue, but there was enough to keep me interested. I've read better, and I've also... Continue Reading →
Cale Dietrich, through his writing, seems like he's the nicest guy in the world, and so I like it whenever I see he has a new book he's been able to get onto shelves. His debut novel The Love Interest was a wonderful surprise, a romantic thrill ride with a satisfying ending and a feeling... Continue Reading →
I've been on a big hiatus from book reviewing, and I hope to finally really get back into it. I've missed it. And let's start with this review! I'm sad to say I was looking forward to the sequel and conclusion to the Gilded duology, from one of my favourite authors, and it really disappointed... Continue Reading →
I read the first Aristotle & Dante seven years ago right when I was starting college, and though I could see the appeal that made it an instant beloved classic, I remember I was in a very rough time when reading and that may have really diluted my enjoyment. My first boyfriend and I had... Continue Reading →
This is one of those contemporary books with characters in a situation you come to learn is so frightening, yet lives in the truth, that you feel you owe it to yourself to look at other people like them and recognize the importance of respect. Especially when you imagine being on the flip side. Or... Continue Reading →
Definitely one of the most mixed experiences I've ever had with a book series, I admire Kendare Blake's Three Dark Crowns series as a whole, based on the three out of four books in the series I have read, but I also think you'd have to be a very patient and devoted reader to really...

These past three weeks I haven't been able to go to the theatre to see Barbie. I wasn't in much anticipation of it before the reviews came out. But then overnight it became all the world was talking about, about how it was a revolutionary look at the world, a love letter to women and... Continue Reading →
Marissa Meyer is one of my favourite authors and probably always will be. I devoured her Lunar Chronicles books in their primetime and I can't decide if her Renegades series is better or not, but the day I revisit both series, I'm going to have a tense grin on my face. With this one it's... Continue Reading →
