I feel like I’ve been waiting forever for a new Markus Zusak book and Bridge of Clay does not disappoint. It has the same beautiful, metaphoric writing as The Book Thief, though the story and plot is anything but the same. Bridge of Clay is a story about five brothers, “the Dunbar boys”, and their parents Penny and Michael. It is […]
Isn’t it the best thing when you pick up a book unexpectedly and you end up really enjoying it? Emergency Contact piqued my interest because it’s about a Korean-American girl who starts her first year of college, and a soft boy who has just broken up with his ex-girlfriend who works (and lives) at the local […]
Trigger warnings: child sexual abuse, pedophilia, addiction I was completely unprepared for the journey that Sadie would take me on. It was intense and uncomfortable, and the story built up to such emotional end that I have to admit I spilled a few tears at the closing lines of the novel.

Ever since I discovered the internet when I was young, there’s always been a certain solace that I’ve found in online communities. Especially those that share my passion, whether it’s gaming, blogging or books. I’ve seldom found this reflected in books that I’ve read, except for Fangirl, Queens of Geek and now, Eliza and Her Monsters. This book is […]
Wow, this book… it was deliciously dark. Schaeffer brings readers into a tantalizing world where supernatural beings called unnaturals roam the earth and are mistrusted by the rest of the humans. Some of them are benign, such as fluffy dacts that are kept as pets, while some are dangerous, such as unicorns that suck the […]
