Welcome to my weird world!
This is one of those contemporary books with characters in a situation you come to learn is so frightening, yet lives in the truth, that you feel you owe it to yourself to look at other people like them and recognize the importance of respect. Especially when you imagine being on the flip side. Or... Continue Reading →
Definitely one of the most mixed experiences I've ever had with a book series, I admire Kendare Blake's Three Dark Crowns series as a whole, based on the three out of four books in the series I have read, but I also think you'd have to be a very patient and devoted reader to really...

Marissa Meyer is one of my favourite authors and probably always will be. I devoured her Lunar Chronicles books in their primetime and I can't decide if her Renegades series is better or not, but the day I revisit both series, I'm going to have a tense grin on my face. With this one it's... Continue Reading →
This is the second book I've read from TJ Klune, after I got through his Cerulean Sea book about a year ago and took this long to end my breather from him. I don't know about his YA reads (which I really should look into) but his adult reads are generally heavy that can equally... Continue Reading →
The world is a horrible place, isn't it? And so much is expected out of each and every one of us, in the world and in ourselves, but almost none of us can truly live up to either of them. So we might look for a little easy gratification, in drugs and alcohol. Or in... Continue Reading →
I think about June Iparis and Daniel Wing all the time, as the simple June and Day of course. I read the Legend trilogy years ago. I really liked the first Legend and Prodigy turned into one of my favourite books of all time. I've only read it once but everything about it had me... Continue Reading →
I always love a good dystopia. Especially in today's times, I feel I need someone to look up to who will take on the power-mad monsters and be out for blood. This fantastical world has two different nations; Astrea and Kalovaxia, and the people there call themselves Astreans and Kalovaxians. Straightforward, right? Yes. But ten... Continue Reading →
This should have been a bestseller. Deadfall is pure adrenaline rush as it tells a story that bounces between the past and present, in equally engaging stories of deceit, fear and heartpound. Ty and Cory Bic are very different but inseparable brothers. Cory is a closeted kid who loves cooking and video games, while Ty... Continue Reading →
Sarah Darer Littman has convinced me to give her a shot. Though I hope the next book I read from her is a little more hard-hitting, it's been a while since I've read a book where I can feel so easygoing and just enjoy myself. The plot of Deepfake is relatively simple; there are two... Continue Reading →
Another knockout from McManus. Okay, to tell you the truth, this book took me over a month to read. But I was finishing big projects and swamped with work. But Nothing More To Tell felt more like a friend to help me along than a chore. Brynn Gallagher has just landed an after-school gig with... Continue Reading →
