Welcome to my weird world!
Amy Tintera is one of my favourite authors, because even if one of them really dove head-first into the derivative (the first Ruined), all of her works have destroyed my reading slumps and have given a fast-paced jolt. And both her Reboot duology and Ruined trilogy (still have to read the last one) all had... Continue Reading →
Update for you guys: I'm going to be bringing you guys some of my old reviews, and this is one. It's also an example of when I might become quite harsh. It took me two weeks to finish this book. There have been books I’ve read that have taken about as long, but many of... Continue Reading →
Flawed but beautiful. The path of life brings us love, and so dost cometh rot. I think that's the first haiku I've ever written before, and it could also describe my feelings of this book. Then again...let's face it, that was a pretty terrible piece of poetry. I'm often impatient and want to get on... Continue Reading →
When I was reading this book, I was surprised this was a debut. It has the aura of an author really immersed in the spirit of teen fiction. Meet Leona D'Auron. She's the queen of Erenen, where, as she puts it, killing is their source of income. They basically have no trade agreements with outside... Continue Reading →
I'm now a book reviewer at Reedsy Discovery, a site that allows me to read and review books that haven't been released yet, and this is one of the first books I've been able to read early in exchange for an honest review. Not only am I very thankful to those who gave me the... Continue Reading →
It's official. Tahereh Mafi has finally really impressed me. I've enjoyed a fair bit of her books (Shatter Me, Defy Me, A Very Large Expanse of Sea) but there was always something preventing me from singing full praise, and now here we are, with a cover that uses a dark-gray colour for the background almost...

When I stumbled onto an excerpt of this book in January, I could not wait for it. I like politics, gay love stories and interracial love stories and this had all three with a twist making it all more extreme; the son of the Republican nominee for President of the United States and the son...

In the six years I've been reading books, there's nothing out there I've come across like Shatter Me. Storywise there are similar ones that come to mind, and in the future, there probably will be situation-wise. But I'm going to be checking out the (supposed) final book very soon, Imagine Me, and my expectations are... Continue Reading →
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 →
“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 →
