This Mortal Coil was a fun, action-packed YA story about a virus that makes people literally explode. It’s all a bit grim, and I don’t think the story would be for everyone following the Covid pandemic, but I had a lot of fun reading it. I really liked the main […]
Jesus Christ this book is badly written. I was intrigued initially by the concept of a slaughtered elk seeking revenge – I am a vegetarian after all – but nothing about this turned out well. My main issue with The Only Good Indians was the choppy writing style. It might […]
I read The Love Hypothesis earlier this year, not really expecting much from it because hyped Booktok books had let me down before. Despite my initial hesitancy, I ended up really enjoying it, and I actually pre-ordered Love on the Brain because I couldn’t wait to get my hands on […]
Iwas a little disappointed by McManus’s previous book that came out last year as I found it very boring compared to her usual YA thrillers, but I’m pleased to say that she is back on form with Nothing More to Tell! I didn’t find any of the issues that I […]
I didn’t have access to Nickelodeon growing up, so I only really know who Jennette McCurdy is because I occasionally go on Oh No They Didn’t!… Yes, the Livejournal is still alive and well. I was intrigued by I’m Glad My Mom Died mostly because of the sudden traction it […]

I haven’t read a Megan Miranda book in years; not since her first foray into YA thrillers. I really wasn’t afan back then, but ever since I have heard great things about her writing. The synopsis of The Last toVanish caught my eye because I read that it was about […]
A few years ago I watched the recording of the Station House Fire in Rhode Island. It is still to this dayone of the most devastating things I have ever seen. In the recording, you can see the nightclub go up inflames within 90 seconds, and all the people who […]
Angie Hockman brought a brand new twist to my one of my favourite tropes – memory loss stories! Ialways find that this trope has the potential to bring about a lot of mystery and intrigue, and Dream Onhad this in spades. Of course, ultimately, Dream On is a romance book. […]
A Language of Dragons promised to include everything that I love in a story – an exploration of linguistics, alternate history, enemies to lovers romance, and dragons. What it actually ended up delivering was about half of those things, if we’re also going to include the mediocre parts as well. […]
