Welcome to my weird world!
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 →
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 →
