A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness

I think I saw this book on a list for top horror novels to read during Halloween. I know it isn’t Halloween right now but I can never resist the call for scary books that will give me nightmares (yes, I know I’m weird)! I have had so little time on my hands recently and…

Dumplin’ by Julie Murphy

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…

The Fever by Megan Abbott

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…

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

First of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2015 has been such a crazy ride for me with a hell of a lot of ups and downs. I don’t know what 2016 has in store but I know that reading more books is definitely one of my top priorities! With that being said, what better way to…

We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

The first book I ever read by this author was when I was 12 years old and I remember it being a really good romantic teen fiction (it’s been a while since I read it so I may be wrong). When I was recommended this novel, for some reason, I found myself hesitant. Maybe the…

Legend by Marie Lu

My friend lent me this book a while back and I’ve been quite lazy about getting to it. Mostly because we go to different universities so I only have to return it to her when she gets back home. Well, she’s back now and it’s high time I finish this novel. I literally picked it…

Uprooted by Naomi Novik

This is another fantasy novel that I have heard amazing things about. I’m glad I’ve gotten this chance to reconnect with this genre; much of my reading consists of psychological thrillers or murder mysteries so it is nice to come back to my favorite childhood genre. In Nieshka’s village, the Dragon, a powerful wizard, comes…

Crimson Bound by Rosamund Hodge

Where have I been this whole time? Unfortunately, I have had too many midterms piling up and haven’t been able to devote any time to reading. Based on my course work, it seems like that’s how it’s going to be for a while. But I’ll try to sneak in a book here and there, especially…

Emmy and Oliver by Robin Benway

I was intrigued by this story because it is not your common teen romance novel. it explores so many more issues…. Oh I can’t say anything without giving it all away so I’m just going to jump right into the review! Emmy and Oliver were born on the same day of the same year in…
