Welcome to my weird world!
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 →
This is the final Serpent & Dove book, and it’s a monstrous 600 pages. After the last book, Blood & Honey, took more effort than I expected to get through, I was a bit nervous about plowing through this one. I gave Blood and Honey 3 stars out of 5, but thinking about it in... 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 →
Let me put this out there first; everyone in this book is a sweetheart. So if you are looking for a very down-to-earth book, this is it. But of course read What If It’s Us first. But then you might need a breather before this one. Cause these are loooooong romance books. Two years ago,... Continue Reading →
Hayley Kiyoko’s fans refer to her as Lesbian Jesus, and considering how down-to-earth this book of hers is, plus the simply good and proud vibes I get from her whenever I see her on screen, I might really have been missing out. Nine years ago, Kiyoko made a song with the same name, plus a... Continue Reading →
If there’s one thing these Avatar books have taught me, or at least reminded me about, it is that our actions may not just influence today or tomorrow, but shape the world years or even generations into the future. The more power, the more it is possible, but boy, this is a complex universe, with... Continue Reading →
Avatar: The Last Airbender is my favourite cartoon TV series, and it’s really tough to imagine a cartoon ever overtaking it. I also liked the first season of the live-action adaptation quite a bit, and I know this puts me in the minority, but I also saw some real beauty in the 2010 movie. Suffice... 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 →
