I remember being very curious about The Cruel Prince when it first arrived. Readers everywhere were raving for it, and it has an amazing cover. But in a hardcover book like this one, there's a small excerpt from the book, or some praise, or both, which this one had, but anyway, the excerpt talked about... Continue Reading →
Anger is a Gift by Mark Oshiro Book Review
“Just shut up and hold still.” That’s what the protagonist says to his new boyfriend he meets on a train before he leans forward and kisses him for the first time. I guess you could call that either aggressive or cute. You’d have to read what happens before to know that it’s simply cute.Anger is... Continue Reading →
Why “The Hate U Give” is my favourite book
When I say this is my favourite book, I mean it in terms of every book I've read in my life. There was a book other than this that got me addicted to reading in the first place. There have been books that have made me realize different things about myself. But I will never... Continue Reading →
Shadowshaper by Daniel Jose Older Book Review
I read this back when everything began closing down from the virus and I had final assignments for my final semester of university, so it was kind of a stressful time. Due to that, after my final grade of Shadowshaper was quite negative (1.5 stars out of 4), I didn't end up writing a review... Continue Reading →
I Wish You All The Best by Mason Deaver Book Review
Note: This was the first book I'd ever read from a non-binary point of view, and it was back when "they/them pronouns weren't as in the spotlight as they are now, so I'm editing this review to be more firm about Ben's identity. What happens when your life just flicks a switch and turns upside... Continue Reading →
The Taking by Kimberly Derting Book Review
I read this book about four years ago. Soon after, I'd devoured the last two, and for me, this teen series still holds up among the best examples of well-structured young-adult adventure. The Taking is about Kyra Agnew, a 16-year old at who goes to high school and plays on the softball team with her... Continue Reading →
Solitary by Alexander Gordon Smith Book Review
The book's title does spoil the gist of not just the plot of this book, but the outcome of the cliffhanger, so when I first read it five years ago I had a lot of hesitation. But as time went on after reading it, I respected this entry in the horrifying quintet more and more.... Continue Reading →
The Hunger Games Book Review
My first review on my first site Weldon Witness was on The Hunger Games, and I gave it one and a half stars out of four. But two-hundred and fifty book reads later, I now think it’s actually kind of better than quite a few other YA books of its genre, enough for me to... Continue Reading →
Lockdown by Alexander Gordon Smith Book Review
The Escape from Furnace series did something to me. I read it several years ago but I still think about it all the time, and it stands out on my bookshelf as a series to look up to and try to one day be on the same level as. Alex Sawyer is the prime example... Continue Reading →
Archenemies by Marissa Meyer Book Review
Will Marissa Meyer ever write a bad book? Cause this is her sixth book in a row I’ve thoroughly recommended, and her quality hasn’t yet shown a dip of any sort. This is the sequel to Renegades, taking place in a world where, well, some are born with superpowers. Some use them for everyday simple... Continue Reading →
