Welcome to my weird world!
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 →
How is it that after, how many is it, six different similar-themed young adult mystery thrillers, Karen M. McManus still finds ways to keep us excited for what's to happen and just relating to the heroes as easily as if they were our cousins? As much as One Of Us Is Next was a terrific...

I hopefully will never get tired of the YA genre, especially since a fair few are much easier to digest than adult ones. With this one, I felt a bit like I'd already read it, and with it came some fatigue, but there was enough to keep me interested. I've read better, and I've also... Continue Reading →
Cale Dietrich, through his writing, seems like he's the nicest guy in the world, and so I like it whenever I see he has a new book he's been able to get onto shelves. His debut novel The Love Interest was a wonderful surprise, a romantic thrill ride with a satisfying ending and a feeling... Continue Reading →
Definitely one of the most mixed experiences I've ever had with a book series, I admire Kendare Blake's Three Dark Crowns series as a whole, based on the three out of four books in the series I have read, but I also think you'd have to be a very patient and devoted reader to really...

I think about June Iparis and Daniel Wing all the time, as the simple June and Day of course. I read the Legend trilogy years ago. I really liked the first Legend and Prodigy turned into one of my favourite books of all time. I've only read it once but everything about it had me... Continue Reading →
