Welcome to my weird world!
Whenever I'd read this outside, wasps would swarm me. And no one else. Maybe it was the giant bee on the cover giving wasps the impression I may be a person of interest. Caroleena, or Carol, is a twelve year old girl whose family is not broken, but a bit fractured on the sides, and... Continue Reading →
I don't think I've been this excited to start a new book series since I devoured the first Miss Peregrine book five years ago. In the start of this series due to be at least a quintet, we follow someone named Elloren Gardner who's known as a Gardnerian. Her Uncle Edwin has raised her and... Continue Reading →
Of all the books I’ve ever owned, this has been on my TBR the absolute longest. I’ve had the first Artemis Fowl on my shelf since I was seven years old. And if the movie didn’t come out, which I thought was not terrible but didn’t really have the soul that made it the surefire... Continue Reading →
Believe it or not, when I think of Mortal Kombat, I think of SpongeBob. When I had baby teeth, Nickelodeon produced more than one fighting-type game in Bikini Bottom's universe that is undeniably inspired from MK's algorithm. So even though I've never technically played a game with Mortal Kombat in the title, I've held the... Continue Reading →
Will Marissa Meyer ever write a bad book? Ever? Her first contemporary book (well, sorta) takes place at Fortuna Beach, California, a coastal town where it's summer all year and you can always enjoy the ocean waves, unless you have a phobia of sharks like Prudence Barnett or nearly drowned as a child like a...

Do I love thee? Do I love thee not? Everyone is bowing down to Raya in a story that definitely wouldn't have worked had this chosen to be the next Disney-princess-musical-adventure. And me not giving this a positive grade...it feels kind of wrong doing that. It gets so much right. If it had some polishes... Continue Reading →
This...was...incredible. I'm really happy to be able to post Onward after it's been out for a year now, the time right before everything shut down. I was stressed, but not seeing Onward when it was out has to be the stupidest thing I'd done in 2020. I mean, I knew I'd see it eventually. But... Continue Reading →
There's this movie out there called Santa Hunters, and I need not tell you who it's marketing for. I haven't seen the film, but on the surface it looks like a cheap pandering flick about kids trying to get the loot of their life for the holidays. We Can Be Heroes when only looking at...

I now look towards Sabaa Tahir’s series if I need inspiring on how to make the characters in my books frightened and truly “scarred”. A Reaper at the Gates is the third installment in the Ember in the Ashes series. And at the end of the last book, Laia of Serra was finally able to... Continue Reading →
As Sabaa Tahir's final book in this spectacular series is out and I'm going to get it for Christmas, I wanted to upload my past reviews of her books leading up to A Sky Beyond The Storm. So, is this another YA dystopia? That's what I thought at first. But I got over it, almost... Continue Reading →
