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...

It's been a while since I've published any reviews. Looking forward to getting back in the game! Like a warm cup of Mexican hot chocolate with a generous dose of cinnamon and cayenne, Cemetery Boys is a treat for the soul with a love for its culture and subject matter. It’s like Coco crossed with... Continue Reading →
The sequel to this book, Bones at the Crossroads, is about to be released, but I’m hoping there’s enough left here in this universe for at least a trilogy. Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot in here, and I finished the book pretty satisfied in the departments of action, adventure, and getting to know... Continue Reading →
I was wondering if and when Ransom Riggs would release a new book, and if it would or would not be related to his megasmash Miss Peregrine series. The first three books in his original trilogy were all perfect scores on my old website, a series of adventure, fantasy, history, tension and heart that shot... Continue Reading →
The only reason I know about this book is the show it’s based on. Yes, I know it’s very popular, and I’m slowly welcoming the adult section into my lists with the teen ones. And as of writing this review, two seasons of the show have been released, and so far, it is my favourite... Continue Reading →
I sometimes think back to appreciate Josh Trank’s Chronicle movie from 2012, which has a very similar feeling to Freaks. I wish Trank was still making movies, I think he will forever have potential. The movie was an anti-hero sort of story about teenagers who get powers that allow them to get a step up... Continue Reading →
This is the fourth book in the Black Witch series by Laurie Forest, its fifth and final book being released a few months ago. My relationship with this series is interesting. I picked up the first book with hesitancy - and then it skyrocketed to one of my favourite books of all time. I hadn’t... Continue Reading →
Why must books go out of print? Why can’t we have some kind of deal with publishers that they will continue printing some of their old works if requested, even if it would be pricier to do so? I held off on this book series for so long, and now you can only order pre-owned... Continue Reading →
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 →
After I put this book down…I cried. Not just for Haymitch. But for everyone else who are having their friends and family ripped from their lives by corrupt officers, armies…there’s a lot we bottle up sometimes. For a fair bit of this book, I was expecting a slightly lower rating than what I ended up... Continue Reading →
