Welcome to my weird world!
Simon Mayo is responsible for one of my favourite book trilogies as a teen, the Itch trilogy. Long story short, it was about a science geek named Itchingham (a curse of a name, I know) who discovers a radioactive rock not found on the periodic table which had the power to be a new energy...

Something you should know, that I didn’t before starting this book, was this is the fourth in a big series, but the book itself doesn’t really tell us this. It doesn’t say “Book 4 in the Warwick Series” or anything like that. Once I realized, some of its flaws started to make sense, so maybe... Continue Reading →
Fable For The End Of The World is a suitable title for this book. The definition of a fable is a short story with a moral or two, usually involving animals. It has a moral and some very interesting creatures, plus it’s a standalone. It also has the material to warrant a franchise or at... Continue Reading →
I haven't published any reviews in months, and I apologize for that. I've been battling depression and have been very out of it for reading, and a bunch of other stuff I like doing too. I'm slowly getting back to normal, and I have a bunch of reviews to publish, and, well, I just got... Continue Reading →
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 →
