I can't write books so I review them instead
Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review. I really really like dystopian novels. It’s both frightening and exciting to think about what the world would be like if society as we know it collapsed and we were left in an extreme condition and had to survive. Any chance that…
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…
I always love it when I decide to read a book on a whim and find myself loving the story. That’s what happened here. I saw this sitting on the shelf of my local library and the synopsis, while sparse, was interesting enough that I decided to give it a shot. Synopsis: 10-year-old Eli and his…
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…
I received this novel as an advance copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I started this book without having any expectations. I certainly wasn’t expecting to feel as stunned as I do.

I remember reading Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng with more than a little trepidation. I shy away from tragic stories because I absolutely hate turning into a sobbing mess. While that novel was definitely sad, it was well worth the effort because of the beautiful story it told. With that in mind, I…
Thanks to Penguin Random House and the First to Read program for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. Mental illness is a very important topic that I don’t think gets discussed enough. And even when it does, it is overly simplified. This novel spoke to me because of its emphasis on mental health…
I received this novel as an advance copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I love books with unique settings and cultures to my own; it’s like travelling but without actually going anywhere. I was really looking forward to this novel but it took me a while to get to it because my…
I received this novel as an advance copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I waited a long time before getting into this novel. Something about this story just made me hesitant. And then I got bogged down by work and other novels and never got a chance to go back to it…
It’s time for another fairytale retelling! With the snow falling the way it is, this novel set in a cold country seemed perfect for me. It helps that the story is about Snow White, who is actually my least favorite disney princess. I wanted to see if this author could make me love her! So…
