Welcome to my weird world!
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...

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.

The last one had a truly cruel juvie prison and... Continue Reading →

But for everyone else who are having their friends and family ripped from their lives by corrupt officers, armies…there’s a lot we bottle up sometimes. For a fair bit of this book, I was expecting a slightly lower rating than what I ended up... 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 →
