Triumphant, emotional, and fully exploring the courageous feats of female pilots during WWII in the Soviet Union, Among the Red Stars is a great historical read to pick up. I have to admit, some parts of the plot were bogged down by how it was executed, making the overall action scenes a bit underwhelming. Instead […]
Apparently this book has been optioned for film, which I believe is a waste of time after finishing it. The Sandcastle Empire unfortunately rubbed me in all the wrong ways, and I wouldn’t really recommend it to readers looking for something with substance. The only thing it has going is the story of survival and […]
Trigger warning: domestic violence The End of Our Story is a book that I picked up solely because it contains my favourite romance trope of all time, second chance romance. But it ended up wowing me for so much more than just the romance. I loved the themes that were explored in this book and I thought […]
A girl dissatisfied with her life in a provincial town; a mysterious being stuck in a hidden castle; a merchant who has lost everything; a hunter wielding a battleaxe to save her father. One of these is not like the other. Meagan Spooner takes the timeless tale of Beauty of the Beast and weaves a […]

This was a rather bittersweet story that focuses on the aftermath of a suicide, and the best friend who was left to discover how to continue on after experiencing such an event. The synopsis gives a bit of a Thirteen Reasons Why feeling, but doesn’t feature the angst-driven plot that the latter book employs. (I […]
Are you looking for a book that will make you giggle until your sides hurt? One that is extremely witty, with the most hilarious dialogue? One where you fall in love with each and every one of the ridiculously awesome characters? Then congrats, because you’ve come to the right place. My Lady Jane was full […]
I’m just starting to venture into the realm of graphic novels so I don’t know too much about them or which ones are popular, but I had to pick up Nimona because of the countless good things I’d heard about it (and the giant National Book Award Nominee sticker on the cover). I ended up […]
To say I adored this book would be an understatement. Girl Against the Universe was a book that hit all the right buttons for me, and it is doubtless one of the best contemporaries I’ve read this year. (In fact, including this one, only three among the ten or so I’ve read really stick out.) […]
