Welcome to my weird world!
I'm glad I'm only now picking up this series. If I'd started it a year or two earlier, I think I'd be driving myself crazy anticipating the next instalment. Maybe for my own sanity I should lay off from The Shadow Wand for a while. Elloren Gardner's come a long way since her relaxing youth... Continue Reading →
I look back at my reading experience of The Gravity of Us puzzled. Was I in a bad mood starting it, and did that transcend to the rest? I've given a lot of negative reviews recently, so maybe I should look into that. It is unprofessional of an entertainment critic to let your personal troubles... Continue Reading →
Reading this book three years ago made me say though I haven't seen the musical this work is based on (which is a switch. A book based on a musical instead of the other way around), I may want to dust off my dancing shoes, if I ever had any. Well, in anticipation for the... Continue Reading →
Let me get this out of the way before anything. The hatred given to Muslims and Arabs, and the acceptance of the hate from authority figures which allow crimes against them to persist and grow, are absolutely disgusting. I encourage Muslim writers to speak up about discriminations they've endured. But that doesn't mean I can't... Continue Reading →
As a reupload since I'm now nearly done An Emotion of Great Delight, I'll begin this review by saying whether or not I end up satisfied or underwhlemd, Tahereh Mafi is the sort of author where I'm always paying attention when she comes out with a new release. So I still have no idea what... Continue Reading →
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 →
