I can't write books so I review them instead
I’ve had my eye out for this novel for a while now. It was on a list of anticipated bestsellers before its release and after reading the premise, I was quite interested in giving it a shot. This novel is not my usual style but it had gotten so much advance praise that I couldn’t…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I usually don’t read novels like this one. I don’t like sad novels or ones that have graphic depictions, especially if it’s regarding constant physical or sexual abuse. But I was given this novel to read and I felt…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I generally do not read realistic fiction. In my teens, this was my go-to genre. But somewhere in university, I reverted back to my life of science fiction and fantasy. However, there had been a lot of hype surrounding…
I never read short stories. It’s not that they aren’t good, it’s just that I like to really get into a novel and have it pull at me for a few days. While I have read short stories before, I hate how quickly they end; it almost makes the experience bittersweet for me. Either way,…

I like weird novels with weird stories that could literally take you anywhere. That’s what I felt about this novel, when I first read its premise. It was just so out-of-the-box and unexpected that I was excited to give it a shot. Well, here is my review! When you are a ward of the state,…
This novel is completely out of my comfort zone. For one, the genre for this novel most closely resembles realistic fiction, and I don’t usually read novels from this genre. This novel is also very different for me as it deals with cinematography, which is something I am completely unfamiliar with. When I first picked…
I almost never read short stories or novellas. I just find them to be more of a teaser than an actual satisfying story. But after reading Ink and Bone by Lisa Unger (check out my post a few days ago!), I knew that I had to give this trilogy of novellas a shot, especially since it…
I used to read a lot of novels that were part of the realistic fiction genre. Novels that revolved around love and loss and changing perspectives. Over time, I have become more interested in genres like fantasy and science fiction and horror and thrillers. This novel took me back to earlier days and reminded me…
