I can't write books so I review them instead
When I turned 12, I found myself experiencing Japanese culture for the very first time. All of my friends and peers were interested in manga and anime, and everywhere I went in school, I would hear people say random phrases in Japanese. Naturally, I got caught up in the hype and I soon became a…
I had read a blurb about this novel a while ago and had found it quite interesting. At that time, the book wasn’t available through the online library system so I completely forgot about it. Recently, I was passing by my local library and saw the cover. I remembered how intrigued I was by the…
I borrowed this novel on a whim. I have a bunch of books to read but I decided not to read them and to stick with this one instead. Don’t ask me why, I have no idea. I sat down and just went at it for a whole day. All I’m thinking now is how…
Recently, I’m having a bit of a “book rut”. What I mean by this is that I will start a book that I’ve been waiting to read and then become disinterested for no reason. A friend suggested that I choose a book that I wasn’t expecting to read and see if that helps me break…
I read this book in 2011, when it first came out. I still remember the day I came across it – my friends and I were roaming around in Indigo and I happened to find it on one of the shelves. Each of us took a copy of the book and just sat down on…

When Stephen King himself compliments the storyline of a book, how can you NOT give it a try? That’s the only introduction this novel needs and I am going to hurry on up with my review! When a beautiful, aspiring writer walks into the bookstore where Joe works, he knows that things are about to…
I am having a very difficult time trying to figure out how to write this review. This novel is definitely unusual in that it is narrated about events that happened in the past. Basically, you are reading someone’s autobiography. Except that this person is fictional. And their adventures are all steeped in fantasy. Which makes…
I have a problem. I may have gotten a little too book crazy. Now usually I don’t believe there is any such thing as having too many books to read. But now, I may have to reconsider. I have about 6 physical books that I have borrowed from the library, 7 books that I have…
This is a novel that is quite different from my usual choice. I heard that it was going to be made into a movie and it also received a great review from Oprah so I would have to be foolish to ignore it. I’ve waited for quite a while to get my hands on a…
