Welcome to my weird world!
I’ll be thinking about this book for a long time, and probably associating it with some decisions I make for myself. Henry Denton is a teenager from a rather troublesome part of Florida. I mean, before everywhere of Florida became a cesspool thanks to DeSantis. He has a mother with a waitressing job she hates... Continue Reading →
I love social justice books. We really need them right now. This Book Won’t Burn is from Samira Ahmed, an author who deserves to be looked up to, by authors and advocates alike. I admittedly wasn’t much of a fan of Love, Hate & Other Filters, but Internment was a dystopian book about American internment... Continue Reading →
Well, I guess we’ll all find out what happens in probably the next few days. It’s felt like not too long ago that I was pondering the possibility of a second Trump turn back near the end of 2020. To tell the truth, because of Kamala Harris’ seemingly hesitant take on truly saving the innocent... Continue Reading →
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 →
