I can't write books so I review them instead
So far, I think I’m doing a pretty good job of keeping up with this series! I have to admit that I may have bitten off more than I can chew when it comes to the number of books I’ve borrowed as well as the number of ARCs I’ve received, especially considering my current workload…
I love libraries. I love books. So it makes sense that I would be drawn to a novel that focuses on both of these things! What if the Great Library of Alexandria had actually survived? Ruthless and powerful beyond belief, the Great Library controls the world, controlling the flow of knowledge and books to the…
The more exposure I have to graphic novels, the more appreciative I am of them. There is something quite beautiful in the way that graphic novels portray a story; you can tell that a lot of effort has gone into creating the perfect illustrations to go along with the plot itself. There are some stories…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. When I first read the premise of this novel, I was a little hesitant to read it. It sounded like every other teen fantasy story and I wanted to try something different than the norm. After reading this novel,…
One of my biggest problems is completing a series. Often, I will start a series with great enthusiasm, and read the first 3 books as soon as possible. But eventually, I begin to slow down, especially as I wait for the next book to be released. Before I know it, I’ve stopped reading the series…
I’ve had my eye on this novel for a while. I really liked the premise of it, which reminded me a lot of the Queen of the Tearling series. I really like fantasy stories with strong female leads and this one showed a lot of promise. Everything has a spirit, be it the wind or…
Ever since I read my first Western-style novel (and enjoyed it!), I’ve been picking up more books in this genre. I was actually really intrigued by this story; not only is there a fantasy element, it is also partly historical fiction with its chronicling of the Gold Rush era. I have been super busy with…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. In order to deal with the loss of my laptop, I am borrowing a laptop from my graduate lab so that I can type up this review. True, I’m supposed to use it for work-related purposes only, but I’m…
When I was young, I had these amazing neighbours who I loved like my own grandparents. They had no children of their own, so they quite enjoyed having me over. They always gave me the best gifts, recognizing what my likes and dislikes were quite aptly. For one birthday, they gifted me two books that…
There are only a handful of books that I have read that are zombie themed. Some I’ve hated, and some I’ve loved. This book definitely falls in the latter category. For 25 years, humans have been hiding away from the dead in isolated enclaves, trying to sustain themselves in this new and undead world. Temple…
