Welcome to my weird world!
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 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.

If ever you’re in need of a heartwarming feel-good book with relatable drama and enjoyable silliness,... Continue Reading →
Maybe I just wasn’t in the mood for this book. Because everything in me feels that I should’ve loved this story with all my heart. And yet something just didn’t work for me, and whatever that was, it really messed with the rest of my experience. So, to start my review of Darkhearts, here’s the... Continue Reading →
How is it that after, how many is it, six different similar-themed young adult mystery thrillers, Karen M. McManus still finds ways to keep us excited for what's to happen and just relating to the heroes as easily as if they were our cousins? As much as One Of Us Is Next was a terrific...

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 →
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 →
