Welcome to my weird world!
If we have more books like this for people to fawn over and delight with, we will be having a future generation of considerate, loving and intelligent kids. No wonder book bans are so big right now. There are three boys in this cover, but the narrator is the one in the jersey, Ezra Miller.... Continue Reading →
My first exposure to the first book, Ready Player One, was in movie form when my uncle dragged me to see it, and I originally gave it a B+, but upon retrospect, it turned into an A+ favourite. I then read the book and appreciated it was fairly different and gave it nine out of... Continue Reading →
A year ago, I tried and failed to read Rise of the Red Hand, a book that promised a similar premise to Empress of a Thousand Skies. Thousand Skies was a book I’d heard of with an interesting-sounding plot, but I never gave it a chance. Now I finally have, and the premise was executed... Continue Reading →
Like a long-time running successful and beloved television show I’ve been waiting for the right time to start because of the intimidating scope that turns out to not be worth the hype…yeah, that’s what I’d describe Gone as. I’ve been eyeing Gone for years, and, well, the sheer size of the series was intimidating. Six... Continue Reading →
If you’ve read my reviews of the previous two Robin Hood books, this one is pretty much the same, except a new setting. And being more of the same is definitely not a bad thing in this case. Click if you want to read my review of Hacking, Heists & Flaming Arrows or Piracy, Paintballs... Continue Reading →
My review for the first Robin Hood book was glowing, and not only has lightning struck twice, but I find it hard to believe it will stop striking in the future instalments. I would encourage you to first read that review before going into this one to avoid too many spoilers. Three months ago, 12-year-old... Continue Reading →
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 →
I wasn’t familiar with Harlan Coben before I picked up this book, but he’s apparently such a household name that him as the author is advertised more than the actual title. And you know? If his other books are anything like this one, maybe that’s justifiable. I found I Will Find You because I was... Continue Reading →
This is definitely a reading slump killer. No, actually, it’s more than that. It might just be the book that convinces your kid to start reading. Six friends are going on this little spring break trip together, meeting some of their friends from school at the beach. There’s the timid and grieving Red and her... Continue Reading →
I’ve been an Amy Tintera fan for a long time. Her Reboot duology was one of my first big pleasures as a teenage reader, a love story of a warrior learning her humanity again. I was relatively impressed with her Ruined trilogy as well. It was incredibly easy to devour. Then All These Monsters really... Continue Reading →
