This Mortal Coil by Emily Suvada

This Mortal Coil by Emily Suvada

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 […]

The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones

The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones

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 […]

Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood

Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood

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 […]

I’m Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

I’m Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

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 […]

We Used to Live Here by Marcus Kliewer

We Used to Live Here by Marcus Kliewer

I reread We Used to Live Here recently and I realised that I didn’t previously take the time to write a review, so I’m correcting that now because I need to gush about how fun this book is. Right from the start, We Used to Live Here is creepy and […]

The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson

The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson

I had heard nothing but good things about The Raven Scholar before going into it, but when a book gets that much hype there’s always something in the back of my mind that questions it. Are all of these people ACTUALLY enjoying the book that much? Is it ACTUALLY that […]

The City of Brass by Shannon Chakraborty

The City of Brass by Shannon Chakraborty

I’ve reread The City of Brass four times now, and every time I appreciate it more and more. It truly is the perfect book (and series) for me. I adore everything about it. Chakraborty’s writing is absolutely stunning, and when I first read this I found it hard to believe […]

The Great Divide by Cristina Henríquez

The Great Divide by Cristina Henríquez

The Great Divide wasn’t exactly the sweeping saga about the lives lost in the construction of the Canal that I expected, but it was still a very enjoyable story about multiple people from different backgrounds traveling to Panama to benefit from the amount of work there. I thought the beginning […]

The Will of the Many by James Islington

The Will of the Many by James Islington

I can see why this has been making so many top ten lists over the past couple of years! The Will of the Many is a fun, fast paced fantasy book which follows Vis, an orphan who joins a posh academy to figure out its secrets. It’s got all the […]
