Welcome to my weird world!
When I finished this book, it was my fourth five-star read in a row! That’s never happened before. The Language of Seabirds, Robin Hood Book 10, The Last Ronin, and now The Silence That Binds Us. Of all those books, this is by far the longest, and I was sad when it had to end.... Continue Reading →
Anyone who knows me knows I’m a huge Ninja Turtle fan. I don’t collect the comic books, I don’t like every adaptation that has been brought forth, and there are way too many said adaptations of them at this point. But they have had such an enormous impact on my life. They helped get me... Continue Reading →
The Language of Seabirds has a cover that’s pretty typical for the now-established LGBTQ genre in young adult fiction. There have been ones with similar covers (The Gravity of Us, Darkhearts) that have disappointed me in the past, and I'd just finished another two-male relationship book that was just okay, so I at first wasn’t...

This is my third read of the Avatar book series, and honestly? I’m glad these books exist. The world that Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Koneitzko made gets more and more beautiful with every new part of it we learn, from Aang to Korra to Kyoshi and now Yangchen. Avatar: The Last Airbender is my... Continue Reading →
While reading The Rebel’s Guide To Pride, I thought about the thousands of Palestine Action hostages in the UK, imprisoned just for speaking out against the biggest war crime in generations, and how they’ve been keeping up the fight and risking their entire lives. It’s just like here, down to the corrupt leaders bad-mouthing the... Continue Reading →
After the longest book I’d ever read and finishing a four-year project…I wasn’t in the mood to get into anything big. I figured, let’s pick something for my next read that was not gonna be a burden to get through. I found Instructions for Dancing at my library, and figured, I’ve never read a Nicola...

Okay. So, The Dryad Storm, the last book in the long-running Black Witch series, is not just the longest book in the series at 724 pages, with all the others having 600 or a little over, but the text is smaller too, to the point where I think if this were the same font size... Continue Reading →
Simon Mayo is responsible for one of my favourite book trilogies as a teen, the Itch trilogy. Long story short, it was about a science geek named Itchingham (a curse of a name, I know) who discovers a radioactive rock not found on the periodic table which had the power to be a new energy...

You wanna know something? A few years ago my family bought a robotic vacuum cleaner, and we decided to name him Rambo. I had no idea for the longest time that they chose that name based off of this book. And I can see where the enjoyable enthusiasm in the name came from; Rambo is... Continue Reading →
Fable For The End Of The World is a suitable title for this book. The definition of a fable is a short story with a moral or two, usually involving animals. It has a moral and some very interesting creatures, plus it’s a standalone. It also has the material to warrant a franchise or at... Continue Reading →
