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 →
Pride & Prejudice & Pittsburgh Book Review
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 →
Blood & Honey by Shelby Mahurin Book Review
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 →
Cut Off by Adrienne Finlay Book Review
I hopefully will never get tired of the YA genre, especially since a fair few are much easier to digest than adult ones. With this one, I felt a bit like I'd already read it, and with it came some fatigue, but there was enough to keep me interested. I've read better, and I've also... Continue Reading →
Cursed by Marissa Meyer Book Review
I've been on a big hiatus from book reviewing, and I hope to finally really get back into it. I've missed it. And let's start with this review! I'm sad to say I was looking forward to the sequel and conclusion to the Gilded duology, from one of my favourite authors, and it really disappointed... Continue Reading →
Two Dark Reigns by Kendare Blake Book Review
Definitely one of the most mixed experiences I've ever had with a book series, I admire Kendare Blake's Three Dark Crowns series as a whole, based on the three out of four books in the series I have read, but I also think you'd have to be a very patient and devoted reader to really...

Barbie (2023) Movie Review
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 →
Gilded by Marissa Meyer Book Review
Marissa Meyer is one of my favourite authors and probably always will be. I devoured her Lunar Chronicles books in their primetime and I can't decide if her Renegades series is better or not, but the day I revisit both series, I'm going to have a tense grin on my face. With this one it's... Continue Reading →
Under The Whispering Door by TJ Klune Book Review
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 Little Mermaid (2023) Movie Review
I actually didn't see the original Little Mermaid till I was 16 and watched it in my 11th grade Music class. That was also the class I was introduced to Hairspray, another movie I probably wasn't looking for in my life but ended up falling in love with. In the 1989 Mermaid, I found the... Continue Reading →
