I love The Lunar Chronicles and I love food, so I was pretty excited to read Heartless. Going into the book, it’s best to detach yourself from the Lunar Chronicles, because it’s more of a straight retelling of Alice in Wonderland than a story that’s inspired by fairy tales. From the Mad Hatter’s tea party, to the invisible Chesire […]
They say there’s three sides to every story – and there’s three ways of reading Replica. With two stories printed on either side of the book, you can choose to read one story at a time, or alternate chapters between Lyra and Gemma, which is what I did. Lyra is a replica who starts off […]
Under Rose-Tainted Skies is a book about agoraphobia that is written by an own-voices author. The book came across as a very accurate depiction of what agoraphobia is like and I think it’s because it’s written by an author who has experienced the condition.

During these few weeks, her mother gets a new boyfriend, who Maggie immediately finds a pain, hence the nickname The […]
Superheroes are my jam and Zeroes is a high octane, action-packed story about a team of teenage misfits who also happen to have powers. Superpowers never get old for me, and I loved hearing about the different powers that each of the six teens had. Kelsie has the power of crowd control, which comes in handy […]
I knew I was going to love The Sun is Also a Star but I was unprepared for how much I loved it. It was not without some minor flaws but I enjoyed my reading experience of it and the epilogue definitely made me tear up from emotions. What I loved most about this novel […]
Welcome to our stop of The Diabolic blog tour! I adored The Diabolic, a fun-filled science fiction story sent in the future, years from now, where our characters explore the political climate of a declining empire and learn humanity.
