Jenn Bennett is someone who I know I can always count on for a quick and cute contemporary YA romance that is well-written. While Starry Eyes was probably my least favourite of her novels so far, it was still a really great read. For me, the setting and the plot didn’t really grab me because it’s all […]
I feel like I’ve been waiting forever for a new Markus Zusak book and Bridge of Clay does not disappoint. It has the same beautiful, metaphoric writing as The Book Thief, though the story and plot is anything but the same. Bridge of Clay is a story about five brothers, “the Dunbar boys”, and their parents Penny and Michael. It is […]
Trigger warnings: child sexual abuse, pedophilia, addiction I was completely unprepared for the journey that Sadie would take me on. It was intense and uncomfortable, and the story built up to such emotional end that I have to admit I spilled a few tears at the closing lines of the novel. It covers an incredibly important topic, […]
I have been a long-time viewer of Hank Green and the vlogbrothers, along with the other shows that Hank has hosted, including SciShow and Crash Course, and I feel like I’ve been waiting my whole life for Hank’s debut novel. I have to say that when a copy showed up on my doorstep (thanks to […]

The Kiss Quotient was such an adorable read! I’d been dying to get my hands on a copy since hearing all of the love that other bloggers and reviewers have been giving this book, including our very own Aila! So I was beyond excited when Jeann sent me her copy. It was an extremely cute and […]
Ever since I discovered the internet when I was young, there’s always been a certain solace that I’ve found in online communities. Especially those that share my passion, whether it’s gaming, blogging or books. I’ve seldom found this reflected in books that I’ve read, except for Fangirl, Queens of Geek and now, Eliza and Her Monsters. This book is […]
Sometimes you just crave a cute contemporary about crushes, love and figuring out your passion, and From Twinkle With Love definitely delivered when it came to all three aspects. As a teenager, it can be hard to figure out exactly what you want to do after you finish school, but it was inspiring to see Twinkle […]
Jen Wilde does best when she writes wonderfully diverse characters who are the norm – The Brightsiders features characters who are bisexual, gender fluid, lesbian and also biracial. Although Emmy King is a famous teenage rockstar, with an immense talent for the drums and with legions of fans from all over the world, there was […]
