Update for you guys: I'm going to be bringing you guys some of my old reviews, and this is one. It's also an example of when I might become quite harsh. It took me two weeks to finish this book. There have been books I’ve read that have taken about as long, but many of... Continue Reading →
Everyone We’ve Been by Sarah Everett Book Review
Flawed but beautiful. The path of life brings us love, and so dost cometh rot. I think that's the first haiku I've ever written before, and it could also describe my feelings of this book. Then again...let's face it, that was a pretty terrible piece of poetry. I'm often impatient and want to get on... Continue Reading →
New America: Awakenings by Tyler Davis Book Review
I'm now a book reviewer at Reedsy Discovery, a site that allows me to read and review books that haven't been released yet, and this is one of the first books I've been able to read early in exchange for an honest review. Not only am I very thankful to those who gave me the... Continue Reading →
The Friend Scheme by Cale Dietrich Book Review
Cale Dietrich's first book, The Love Interest, was a wonderful surprise, a romance-thriller where every second counted. Its delicious pacing made it so I didn't mind it was a standalone, because it satisfied in every way I was hoping for and more. I've read it twice. I feel we should get that out of the...

The State of Us by Shaun David Hutchinson Book Review
When I stumbled onto an excerpt of this book in January, I could not wait for it. I like politics, gay love stories and interracial love stories and this had all three with a twist making it all more extreme; the son of the Republican nominee for President of the United States and the son...

1984 by George Orwell Book Review
Pretty much everyone in my earlier family has read this book. My parents and uncle all read it in high school and my grandparents tried it out once. The novel was probably too young at that time to be decided on any curriculum. And in my family, we all have very different tastes in general... Continue Reading →
Greenwood by Michael Christie Book Review
This rating I'm giving Greenwood stems from my desire to give two different grades to this book if I could. I would give this book three and a half stars out of four for readers who like deep, spiritual books with plots that stay in your thoughts for a long time. But I would also... Continue Reading →
My love-hate situation with the Shatter Me books
In the six years I've been reading books, there's nothing out there I've come across like Shatter Me. Storywise there are similar ones that come to mind, and in the future, there probably will be situation-wise. But I'm going to be checking out the (supposed) final book very soon, Imagine Me, and my expectations are... Continue Reading →
Supermarket by Bobby Hall Book Review
The way to get a book under my nose is to have an involving cover. Something showing promise and passion. But Bobby Hall (aka the rapper known as Logic)'s debut has a cover so anti-passion that it's impossible to disregard: Just the name "Supermarket", the red is purposefully rough and slightly scratched, and the author's... Continue Reading →
The Cruel Prince by Holly Black Book Review
I remember being very curious about The Cruel Prince when it first arrived. Readers everywhere were raving for it, and it has an amazing cover. But in a hardcover book like this one, there's a small excerpt from the book, or some praise, or both, which this one had, but anyway, the excerpt talked about... Continue Reading →
