Welcome to my weird world!
The Robin Hood books are my comfort-food go-to. I haven’t yet written reviews for books 4-7; a lot of them would mostly go around the same thing; how it’s a lot of fun to see our heroes outsmart corrupt lawmakers, law enforcers and dishonourable bandits. The last one had a truly cruel juvie prison and... Continue Reading →
Fair warning, first and foremost: this is definitely an 18+ kind of book. Amazing what you can find out about while you’re mindlessly digging for details about the next Shrek movie. You might come across a viral smutty fanfiction take with a very suggestive cover and title. I’m not someone who usually reads let alone... Continue Reading →
This is the final Serpent & Dove book, and it’s a monstrous 600 pages. After the last book, Blood & Honey, took more effort than I expected to get through, I was a bit nervous about plowing through this one. I gave Blood and Honey 3 stars out of 5, but thinking about it in... Continue Reading →
A year ago, I tried and failed to read Rise of the Red Hand, a book that promised a similar premise to Empress of a Thousand Skies. Thousand Skies was a book I’d heard of with an interesting-sounding plot, but I never gave it a chance. Now I finally have, and the premise was executed... Continue Reading →
If there’s one thing these Avatar books have taught me, or at least reminded me about, it is that our actions may not just influence today or tomorrow, but shape the world years or even generations into the future. The more power, the more it is possible, but boy, this is a complex universe, with... 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 →
Like a long-time running successful and beloved television show I’ve been waiting for the right time to start because of the intimidating scope that turns out to not be worth the hype…yeah, that’s what I’d describe Gone as. I’ve been eyeing Gone for years, and, well, the sheer size of the series was intimidating. Six... 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 →
DNF @ 40% I couldn’t finish this one. I tried to get into it and failed miserably. Which surprised me. For one, I almost never DNF books, even if they’re really tearing me down. I could count on one hand the amount of books I’ve picked up and DNFed over the last five years. And... 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 →
