Welcome to my weird world!
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 got exactly what I wanted out of this book, something I haven’t had much of lately. And even if I did have some recent satisfying reads, which, again, I haven’t, I’m sure Pride & Prejudice & Pittsburgh would’ve still stood out. Audrey Cameron is a teen from Pittsburgh who has dreams of going to... Continue Reading →
A gay Romeo & Juliet sort of tale? Has been done before, and that shouldn't be surprising. The very theme of forbidden love is incredibly relatable for anyone in the LGBTQ+ community. And yet, it shouldn't really matter if something's a bit familiar if you can speed through it easy peasy. Without spoiling too much... Continue Reading →
Marissa Meyer is one of my favourite authors and probably always will be. I devoured her Lunar Chronicles books in their primetime and I can't decide if her Renegades series is better or not, but the day I revisit both series, I'm going to have a tense grin on my face. With this one it's... Continue Reading →
I always love a good dystopia. Especially in today's times, I feel I need someone to look up to who will take on the power-mad monsters and be out for blood. This fantastical world has two different nations; Astrea and Kalovaxia, and the people there call themselves Astreans and Kalovaxians. Straightforward, right? Yes. But ten... Continue Reading →
This should have been a bestseller. Deadfall is pure adrenaline rush as it tells a story that bounces between the past and present, in equally engaging stories of deceit, fear and heartpound. Ty and Cory Bic are very different but inseparable brothers. Cory is a closeted kid who loves cooking and video games, while Ty... Continue Reading →
Sarah Darer Littman has convinced me to give her a shot. Though I hope the next book I read from her is a little more hard-hitting, it's been a while since I've read a book where I can feel so easygoing and just enjoy myself. The plot of Deepfake is relatively simple; there are two... Continue Reading →
Before I begin this review, let me tell you my story around Michael Vey. This book series has changed my life more than any other book series in existence, and you'll see in a minute why there's no exaggeration. Without Michael Vey, I wouldn't be a reviewer, a reader, or a YouTuber, and definitely not... Continue Reading →
This book won lots of significant awards when it was released in 2015. It's definitely one of the most different and memorable reads I've read this year. But I also have to give it the title of worst I've read this year, and I have no joy giving that title to an author who shares... Continue Reading →
I don't know how Karen M. McManus does it, but every mystery she conjures out of thin air has generally the same kind of themes yet she makes it feel fresh and new every time. And this story of hers is different from her previous ones. Her debut, One Of Us Is Lying, was clearly... Continue Reading →
