Welcome to my weird world!
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. It’s like Coco crossed with... Continue Reading →
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 →
It took me about six weeks to get through this novel, even though it’s a novel I’ve been anticipating for quite a while. At the end of the day, I have to give this a low grade. But at the same time I’m not going to organize a picket line against it, you know? Shift... 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 →
This is the fourth book in the Black Witch series by Laurie Forest, its fifth and final book being released a few months ago. My relationship with this series is interesting. I picked up the first book with hesitancy - and then it skyrocketed to one of my favourite books of all time. I hadn’t... 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 →
Avatar: The Last Airbender is my favourite cartoon TV series, and it’s really tough to imagine a cartoon ever overtaking it. I also liked the first season of the live-action adaptation quite a bit, and I know this puts me in the minority, but I also saw some real beauty in the 2010 movie. Suffice... Continue Reading →
