So it appears that you can disagree with your co-bloggers on books. While Jenna loved The Thousandth Floor (you can read her review here), I could not stand it. It started out promising, with the use of technological advancements leading to life with Manhattan in a thousand floor tower. Those who live at the top, such as Avery […]
I love a book that deals with grief and Phantom Limbs delivers a wonderful story about grief. What I really loved about it was that it wasn’t dark and heavy, but instead was relatively lighthearted and charming. Rather than solely focusing on grief as a theme, this book also explores friendship and first love and […]
I’m so glad I decided to pick this book up! The plot really kept me on my toes, and the characters were such a delight to read about. For me, the characters of a story are what makes or breaks the book, and the ones in this book were just fantabulous. Written in alternating first […]
This review does not contain spoilers for Crooked Kingdom (but does for Six of Crows). I’m the worst at writing reviews for books I absolutely LOVED, they just end up being a fangirling mess, so here we go again. Crooked Kingdom is the best book I’ve read this year, if not ever. I delved into […]
So here’s the thing with this book: it’s not perfect. Not in a long run, and I even have a friend who has problems with it. But personally, I went in with low expectations and came out highly enjoying the story. I think of it like a mix of Fast and Furious but also Grease. […]
You know when you’re struggling towards a goal, but endless roadblocks are thrown in the way? That has been Evie’s journey throughout the Spark series. The biggest blockades to her living the life she wants, are the people who make up the Affinity Project. Being a genetically enhanced weapon, Evie is constantly pulled from pillar to […]
There’s always something inspiring about reading about a character that doesn’t care what anyone thinks of her, or doesn’t let it show. Being about a fat girl and a guy who suffers from face blindness, Holding Up the Universe was a fearless, inspirational hot mess. I don’t know whether I love or hate Libby Strout. She’s incredibly insecure […]
Nothing Tastes As Good was a very confronting but important read about body image and confidence. I was a little bit tentative going into the story but ultimately, it blew me away. However, there were a couple of things that held me back from giving it a higher rating and I’m going to get into […]
I picked this one up mostly because the cover drew my eye like a moth to flame. Plus, fantasy. Anyways, the purple/blue color scheme features my favorite colors of all time, and the mentions of all these different fairy tales lumped together sounded like a fun ride. Although Kingdom of Ash and Briars was extremely […]
