Welcome to my weird world!
A gay Romeo & Juliet sort of tale? Has been done before, and that shouldn't be surprising. The very theme of forbidden love is incredibly relatable for anyone in the LGBTQ+ community. And yet, it shouldn't really matter if something's a bit familiar if you can speed through it easy peasy. Without spoiling too much... Continue Reading →
I read the first Serpent & Dove and devoured it. I gave it my highest grade, being one of the most fun reads in ages at the time. But Blood & Honey, despite having many similar elements, struggled to keep my attention the same way. The last Serpent & Dove was about a secret witch... Continue Reading →
I read the first Aristotle & Dante seven years ago right when I was starting college, and though I could see the appeal that made it an instant beloved classic, I remember I was in a very rough time when reading and that may have really diluted my enjoyment. My first boyfriend and I had... Continue Reading →
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 →
These past three weeks I haven't been able to go to the theatre to see Barbie. I wasn't in much anticipation of it before the reviews came out. But then overnight it became all the world was talking about, about how it was a revolutionary look at the world, a love letter to women and... Continue Reading →
This is the second book I've read from TJ Klune, after I got through his Cerulean Sea book about a year ago and took this long to end my breather from him. I don't know about his YA reads (which I really should look into) but his adult reads are generally heavy that can equally... 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 →
Before I begin this review, let me tell you my story around Michael Vey. This book series has changed my life more than any other book series in existence, and you'll see in a minute why there's no exaggeration. Without Michael Vey, I wouldn't be a reviewer, a reader, or a YouTuber, and definitely not... Continue Reading →
There must be authors like Cory Doctorow out there, but I definitely haven't read any of them in my nearly ten years being a book reviewer. I guess the closest one to resemble him would be Ernest Cline. Both of them clearly love to show off how genius they are at their passions; Cline with... Continue Reading →
This book won lots of significant awards when it was released in 2015. It's definitely one of the most different and memorable reads I've read this year. But I also have to give it the title of worst I've read this year, and I have no joy giving that title to an author who shares... Continue Reading →
