Welcome to my weird world!
Simon Mayo is responsible for one of my favourite book trilogies as a teen, the Itch trilogy. Long story short, it was about a science geek named Itchingham (a curse of a name, I know) who discovers a radioactive rock not found on the periodic table which had the power to be a new energy...

Something you should know, that I didn’t before starting this book, was this is the fourth in a big series, but the book itself doesn’t really tell us this. It doesn’t say “Book 4 in the Warwick Series” or anything like that. Once I realized, some of its flaws started to make sense, so maybe... Continue Reading →
You wanna know something? A few years ago my family bought a robotic vacuum cleaner, and we decided to name him Rambo. I had no idea for the longest time that they chose that name based off of this book. And I can see where the enjoyable enthusiasm in the name came from; Rambo is... Continue Reading →
Fable For The End Of The World is a suitable title for this book. The definition of a fable is a short story with a moral or two, usually involving animals. It has a moral and some very interesting creatures, plus it’s a standalone. It also has the material to warrant a franchise or at... Continue Reading →
Oh, the sweet throwbacks to nightmares we have in the school system, feeling like we’re the biggest unworthy screwups. Our hero in this fun little book is Jude Barnett, and for those unaware, this is a companion sequel to Instant Karma, that book being about Jude’s sister Prudence earning the ability for bad luck to...

A friend of mine who knows I’m into pirates, especially of the queer variety (we’re both forever Flag Means Death fans) lent me this book for me to read, and it was a step-up from some other recent works I’ve read. If anything, it’s made me more excited to finally try out the Pirates of... Continue Reading →
I haven't published any reviews in months, and I apologize for that. I've been battling depression and have been very out of it for reading, and a bunch of other stuff I like doing too. I'm slowly getting back to normal, and I have a bunch of reviews to publish, and, well, I just got... Continue Reading →
Tahereh Mafi is one of the most coin-toss authors I’ve ever read. Whenever she has something new out, I’m sort of interested. She’s published two stand-alones from the point of view of Muslim girls in a world that seems to loathe them (one book I liked, the other I disliked, but I sympathized tremendously with... Continue Reading →
It's been a while since I've published any reviews. Looking forward to getting back in the game! Like a warm cup of Mexican hot chocolate with a generous dose of cinnamon and cayenne, Cemetery Boys is a treat for the soul with a love for its culture and subject matter. It’s like Coco crossed with... Continue Reading →
The sequel to this book, Bones at the Crossroads, is about to be released, but I’m hoping there’s enough left here in this universe for at least a trilogy. Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot in here, and I finished the book pretty satisfied in the departments of action, adventure, and getting to know... Continue Reading →
