I can't write books so I review them instead
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…
I was really excited to read this novel because this is the same author that wrote Eleanor and Park, which made me cry my eyes out and was just fantastic. I had really high hopes for this novel, especially because it involved fantasy – and we all know I love fantasy novels! Simon Snow is…
Before this novel, I had never heard of Tami Hoag. I had no idea that she was a bestselling author or that she had published more than 30 books. All I knew was that this novel was on many recommendation lists and that I had to make some time to read it. In all honesty,…
I was really hesitant to read this novel. It just seemed too … tragic. And I also don’t really like reading novels that deal with issues of race and culture and stereotypes. I think this hesitation comes from the fact that I myself had to deal with these issues as a child and would read…

I’ve noticed that I mostly go for books with a thrill factor and haven’t really explored my realistic fiction side. Growing up, I used to love teen realistic fiction about “real” problems. This novel seemed quite relevant…
This novel sounded like your usual thriller about two sisters falling apart because of some tragedy and then something brings them back and they solve everything. So my expectations for this novel were not too high. I mean, there have been so many thrillers that have a similar story line that I really wasn’t expecting…
So I know it may seem like I haven’t been reading but I promise you that I have! I’ve just not had the time to sit down and write about it in this blog. And I feel terrible about it, I really do. But it has been such a mission to just finish reading all…
I get biweekly newsletters from the library that informs me of the latest novels coming in. I make sure to go through the newsletters thoroughly because a lot of times, I find some amazing novels like The Library at Mount Char. This book is also something that I found through the online newsletter and I…
I have approximately 8 books that have come out now. 8 is in itself a huge number. Now add to that 6 university courses, volunteering and lab work – you can see where my dilemma is. Every time I finish one book, another pops up. And I’ve been so concentrated on finishing the novels that…
