A Sweet Mess and The Dating Dare are companion novels and it’s a little weird for me to be reviewing them in this order because I actually read the newly released The Dating Dare first… but the reason why I ended up picking up A Sweet Mess as well was because even though The Dating Dare could be read standalone, I felt like […]
The Good Things This review is hard to write because I don’t know if I can find the words to do this story justice. I finished it a week ago and am still in a book hangover from it. This is an adult literary fiction novel by an Aussie author! Standalone. It’s so different to […]
If you love contemporary romances and K-pop, you will love XOXO! I’m not really a K-Pop person, but I am a J-Pop and idol kind of girl so this book was still the perfect light and fluffy romance read for me.

The Good Things I read Threadneedle as part of the Tandem Collective’s Aussie readalong! A new upper YA contemporary fantasy series. It had a really interesting and unique magic system!

I kept getting absorbed into the story and forgot to take notes! The last two thirds of the story was impossible to put down! I really love this world. This one gave us […]
With rave reviews everywhere, and even a Netflix option by Barack & Michelle Obama’s production company, there’s certainly a lot of hype attached to the Firekeeper’s Daughter. The main character Duanis, is a biracial 18 year old hockey player who gets caught up in an FBI investigation in her local Obijwe community. Perhaps I’m just used […]
The Good Things Sequel to The Eyes of Tamburah, Maria V Snyder’s new NA fantasy series. I really enjoyed the exploration of the magic! Shyla’s new abilities with the Eye’s, and the moral dilemmas they put her in, were very interesting! We got to know the side characters better! They’re some of the most fascinating […]
The Good Things This was a reread for me! Maria V Snyder is one of my all time favourite authors. Fast paced New Adult fantasy set in one of the most unique worlds I’ve ever read. The world building is amazing! It’s so seamlessly woven into the narrative and plot. I loved Shyla as a […]
