Welcome to my weird world!
Tahereh Mafi is one of the most coin-toss authors I’ve ever read. Whenever she has something new out, I’m sort of interested. She’s published two stand-alones from the point of view of Muslim girls in a world that seems to loathe them (one book I liked, the other I disliked, but I sympathized tremendously with...

Welp, I picked up the sequel to the porn book Get In My Swamp, even after I gave it two stars out of five. I didn’t really hate the book or was even disgusted by it. If anything, if it didn’t have some glaring flaws, I maybe would’ve given it a recommended grade. The two... Continue Reading →
I’m about to start reading Tahereh Mafi’s continuation of her world-famous Shatter Me series, and let’s just say I’ve had quite the long-term relationship with it. I published reviews of each book on my old website, and I actually have the review for the last one up here. Besides the new one, there’s been six... 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 →
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 →
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 →
Maybe I just wasn’t in the mood for this book. Because everything in me feels that I should’ve loved this story with all my heart. And yet something just didn’t work for me, and whatever that was, it really messed with the rest of my experience. So, to start my review of Darkhearts, here’s the... 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 →
