Welcome to my weird world!
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 →
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 →
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 →
I think this book literally rescued me. All is not well in my life right now. And, well, neither was Sasha’s life, and this book basically slapped me in the face to tell me to get myself back together. If ever you’re in need of a heartwarming feel-good book with relatable drama and enjoyable silliness,... Continue Reading →
I got exactly what I wanted out of this book, something I haven’t had much of lately. And even if I did have some recent satisfying reads, which, again, I haven’t, I’m sure Pride & Prejudice & Pittsburgh would’ve still stood out. Audrey Cameron is a teen from Pittsburgh who has dreams of going to... Continue Reading →
