Welcome to my weird world!
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 →
I sometimes think back to appreciate Josh Trank’s Chronicle movie from 2012, which has a very similar feeling to Freaks. I wish Trank was still making movies, I think he will forever have potential. The movie was an anti-hero sort of story about teenagers who get powers that allow them to get a step up... Continue Reading →
Why did I pass up Girl In Pieces? After this and her terrific You’d Be Home Now, Kathleen Glasgow is an author that will I think always be on my radar. She should be on yours too if she isn’t already. The Glass Girl’s title character is a teenager named Bella. She just recently got... Continue Reading →
Sometimes I love a nice out-there fantasy where anything is possible, and other times I like a nice pragmatic contemporary, where we face life’s gritty rough realities that are so hard to break through. That is definitely what this book is about. He Must Like You is about a girl named Libby who’s applying to... Continue Reading →
If we have more books like this for people to fawn over and delight with, we will be having a future generation of considerate, loving and intelligent kids. No wonder book bans are so big right now. There are three boys in this cover, but the narrator is the one in the jersey, Ezra Miller.... Continue Reading →
Let me put this out there first; everyone in this book is a sweetheart. So if you are looking for a very down-to-earth book, this is it. But of course read What If It’s Us first. But then you might need a breather before this one. Cause these are loooooong romance books. Two years ago,... Continue Reading →
Hayley Kiyoko’s fans refer to her as Lesbian Jesus, and considering how down-to-earth this book of hers is, plus the simply good and proud vibes I get from her whenever I see her on screen, I might really have been missing out. Nine years ago, Kiyoko made a song with the same name, plus a... Continue Reading →
If you’ve read my reviews of the previous two Robin Hood books, this one is pretty much the same, except a new setting. And being more of the same is definitely not a bad thing in this case. Click if you want to read my review of Hacking, Heists & Flaming Arrows or Piracy, Paintballs... Continue Reading →
My review for the first Robin Hood book was glowing, and not only has lightning struck twice, but I find it hard to believe it will stop striking in the future instalments. I would encourage you to first read that review before going into this one to avoid too many spoilers. Three months ago, 12-year-old... Continue Reading →
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 →
