Emerging from my Empire of Storms slumber, I rise and attempt to tell you my jumbled thoughts about it. I’m constantly in awe of this expansive fantasy world that Sarah J Maas has created, filled with wyverns, magic, fae lords, witches, pirate lords, hidden armies and evil. Following multiple characters across Erilea, we see witches fighting for their […]
Think: fluffy, clumsy, idiosyncratic and heartwarming. I think those are good words that sum up this book. It’s a fairly quick read, and having a contemporary setting and easy-to-follow dialogue make it go even quicker. The author had some great things to say about high school and the behavior of teenagers in general. It was […]
Having read many YA thrillers, the bar is set quite high for me. Black approaches the thriller genre in a unique way, presenting a girl who is presumed to be cursed by the rest of the town. It really captures the small town feel, where rumours can spiral out of control and everyone knows your […]

They have procedural memory, but they have no memory of their relationships with each other, or what they’ve done […]
It’s a good thing that we have books in this world, or I wouldn’t know how I would be able to survive. But in Sefia’s world, books are nonexistent and words are just meaningless scribbles. I admit, I was a little hesitant coming into this story. What does pirates have to do with books having […]

Prelude 2 November, 2059 The lights scalded my borrowed eyes. I was still […]
The Memory Book reduced me to a puddle of tears and I spent an entire night crying about it. Which is what makes this book perfect for me because I cannot resist a cryworthy contemporary story. Sammie has an incurable neurological disease that is slowly causing her to lose her memory and will eventually claim […]
