I can't write books so I review them instead
Even though school has started, I’m determined to keep reading. However, it will definitely be taking me longer to get through my books. Anyways…. Just like every Dan Brown novel, there is some history theme involved and in this case, it is Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy. Robert Langdon is once again caught up in a…
I have read this book countless times and so, I truly believe that it deserves to be written about. I’m sure many people have read this book or watched the movie so this may be pointless but I feel like writing about this anyways. This book is about symbologist Robert Langdon who finds himself drawn…

I read this book a long time back and it made a great impression on me. I wanted to blog about it but I realized that before I could, I needed to reread it so that I could recall that same experience (as much as possible). The story is a dystopian novel set in London…
So I was hanging out with my friend at Indigo when she recommended this harlequin teen book. Normally, I don’t give them too much of a chance but my friend has pretty good taste in books so I decided to give it a go. This book is about a girl named Leila who is on…
I read this book back in high school and I’ve got to say that John Steinbeck is a damn good author. With such an interesting story line, it is hard to forget this book! The story parallels the biblical one of Cain and Abel and describes both the love and animosity between two brothers who…
