Welcome to my weird world!
You know, there's a barrier when it comes to learning history from foreign countries, and I think that's evident in Traitor; if we want to properly be educated on it, like a bagel with surprisingly too much garlic, we can be easily taken aback with how many different groups with so many different histories we...

I love adventure novels. When they’re done right. I think they’re best when they manage to tell every step of the way with no shortcuts like “Three days later”, and yet still retain our attention. In a book with this mission in this setting, you cannot spawn over a day or two. You have to... Continue Reading →
Whenever I'd read this outside, wasps would swarm me. And no one else. Maybe it was the giant bee on the cover giving wasps the impression I may be a person of interest. Caroleena, or Carol, is a twelve year old girl whose family is not broken, but a bit fractured on the sides, and... Continue Reading →
I don't think I've been this excited to start a new book series since I devoured the first Miss Peregrine book five years ago. In the start of this series due to be at least a quintet, we follow someone named Elloren Gardner who's known as a Gardnerian. Her Uncle Edwin has raised her and... Continue Reading →
I can't get enough of Karen M. McManus. Not only has every book of hers been a treasure, but this is my favourite one so far. I didn't think it would, or could, but Echo Ridge High has surpassed Bayview High. A sequel (and potential conclusion) to Bayview High has been announced, and after two... Continue Reading →
You know, as much as racism is no longer seen as a normal and acceptable act in general society, sometimes we forget just how much is out there begging to be unleashed beneath the surface. Reminders emerge all the time, and we stand united against them, but then there are places where it just won't... Continue Reading →
The young but grown up guy looking indifferently at us through that cover asks us questions through that stare: Are you going to treat me any different than you would a white person? Do you have expectations of me? Do you accept me for who I am? Do you accept others for who they are?... Continue Reading →
I actually don't know if I'm going to publish this review, because it makes me a little sick to my stomach doing so. My Aunt Meg liked this book and my uncle gave it to me for my birthday last year because she thought I would enjoy it too. I miss Meg terribly every day,... Continue Reading →
The original Miss Peregrine trilogy is flat-out perfect. I read the first one in one day, Hollow City upped the suspense and universe, and by the time I finished Library of Souls, I had a goofy grin on my face like I'd won a trip to Aruba, along with an all expense paid tour of...

Wow. I really shouldn't have worried about the sequel to the riotously entertaining and welcoming mystery thriller that was One Of Us Is Lying. With this, Karen M. McManus has made herself official as one of my favourite authors. Maybe I should stand by that statement only after reading one more of her books. There's... Continue Reading →
