As You Wish by Chelsea Sedoti

The first thing that caught my attention with this book was its title. If you have ever watched or read The Princess Bride, then you know EXACTLY what I’m referencing! I for sure thought the author would put that in somewhere in the story. But the story itself is very interesting, and that’s what made me…

Before I Let Go by Marieke Nijkamp  

When I read the premise of this novel, it sounded like a mystery/thriller to me. After reading it, I have to say that it definitely doesn’t fit that category – at least, not in the conventional way. Synopsis (Goodreads): Best friends Corey and Kyra were inseparable in their snow-covered town of Lost Creek, Alaska. When Corey…

Red Rising: Sons of Ares #1 by Pierce Brown

Pierce Brown is the author of the Red Rising series, which consists of Red Rising, Golden Son, Morning Star, and soon, Iron Gold. I actually read the first 3 books of the series and found them to be quite interesting, and I’m looking forward to reading the latest installment when it comes out. I had no idea that the…

Down and Across by Arvin Ahmadi

Synopsis (Goodreads): Scott Ferdowsi has a track record of quitting. Writing the Great American Novel? Three chapters. His summer internship? One week. His best friends know exactly what they want to do with the rest of their lives, but Scott can hardly commit to a breakfast cereal, let alone a passion. With college applications looming, Scott’s…

The Library of Fates by Aditi Khorana

When I saw the cover for this book and I read the synopsis, I thought this would be the one for me. However, it failed to please. This story takes place in Shalingar, a kingdom ruled by Princess Amrita’s father. It is an idyllic kingdom, with plenty of resources and a fair and just ruler…

The City of Brass by S. A. Chakraborty

I recently decided to try out a subscription book box called Page Habit. It is based in America but ships internationally. What drew me to this subscription company was the fact that they give subscribers new releases that have annotated notes from the author plus all sorts of bookish goodies to enjoy. I also love…

The Afterlife of Holly Chase by Cynthia Hand

Merry Christmas! To celebrate this festive holiday, here is a novel that is all about the Christmas spirit! Here is my review: 5 years ago on Christmas Eve, Holly was visited by 3 ghosts who showed her how selfish and spoiled she was to try to get her to mend her ways. She didn’t. And…

The Hearts We Sold by Emily Lloyd-Jones

By far, this was one of the most interesting premises for a teen fiction novel that I have seen this month. It reminded me a lot of the tv show Supernatural, which used to be one of my favorite things to binge-watch. Getting a chance to read something similar to it was so exciting! Here is…
