I was really keen on picking up Navigating the Stars because of a blurb – a sci-fi book about locating Terracotta warriors in space from a different planet (which reminded me of Unearthed)! However, I was quite disappointed at my first Maria V. Snyder book, because I felt the book didn’t really deliver on what it […]
Disclaimer: If you like Kingdom of Ash I definitely don’t hold it against you, but these thoughts are mine and mine alone and not everyone can like the same books, which is why this community is amazing. I hope you’ll be able to read this with an open mind and not hold it against me for […]

I binge read the whole Shadow and Bone trilogy in preparation for the release of King of Scars next week, which is one of our most highly anticipated books of the year. Before that, I had only read the first book about 4 years ago, along with my beloved Six of Crows duology. For those of you […]
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 […]

If you like stories about extraordinary people with abilities, then this is for you. If you like dark storylines with a complex, intelligent duo pitted against […]
I absolutely love Patrick Ness’s books and his storytelling, and I was excited by And the Ocean Was Our Sky because of how similar its (physical) vibe was to A Monster Calls. And the Ocean Was Our Sky is a retelling of Moby Dick, which I confess I have never read… but there isn’t much prerequisite knowledge you need in order […]
This is my first Julie Kagawa book (I know – a shame considering how popular her Iron Fey series was when I was in middle school!), but certainly not my last. Shadow of the Fox is an own voices story set in feudal Japan where demons called youkai roam the land and a treasured scroll […]
Trigger warnings: sexual assault, animal cruelty, torture The Belles was a book that was on many people’s most highly anticipated books of 2018 list and it was the main reason why I picked up the audiobook last month. I went into it without really knowing anything and without having seen very many reviews. To say that […]
This review contains spoilers for This Mortal Coil, the first book in the series. Check out my review here if you haven’t read it yet (which you should)! When it comes to action-packed, science fiction about gene manipulation, you can’t get any better than this series. I absolutely love how this series covers DNA manipulation, […]
