Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo

I decided to give this trilogy a shot. Even though I have so many stand-alone novels left to read, I found the storyline for this book quite compelling so I went for it instead. Ravka is a nation divided by the Shadow Fold, an area of darkness that hosts terrible creatures that feast on human…

Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard

I don’t have many friends who are avid readers like me. But when they recommend something for me to read, I do my best to give it a shot. Especially if they let me borrow their copy of the book, thereby saving me the trouble of waiting for it at the library. Which is exactly…

Things We Know By Heart by Jessi Kirby

I had waited so long for this book that I was surprised with how quickly I finished it. When Quinn’s boyfriend dies, his organs were donated to those in need. Quinn has made contact with all of the recipients – except for the one with her boyfriend’s heart. He’s the one Quinn desperately wants to…

Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige

I’ve always loved The Wizard of Oz. I’ve watched the movie and I’ve even read Gregory Maguire’s books on Oz. So naturally, when I saw this book, I had to read it! Amy Gumm doesn’t have the most ideal life. Living in Kansas in a trailer with her drug-obsessed mom has made her grow up…

The Death Cure

I finally got to read the last book in the trilogy!!!!! I literally finished it in 2 hours because I just HAD to find out how everything ended! Hopefully I don’t ruin anything in this review for those who haven’t read it yet! The book opens up with Thomas in isolation from everyone else because…

The Maze Runner

I actually had the chance to reread the book AND watch the movie before my exams but I wasn’t able to write my review until now. Without further ado, here it is: This is a post-apocalypse novel that focuses on Thomas, a boy who finds himself in a place known as The Glade with a…

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

I’m going to jump right into the review because I just loved this book and the movie so much! Hazel Grace Lancaster hates going to the cancer support group. With her cynical look at life, she just can’t seem to take anything seriously. But at one of these meetings, she meets Augustus Waters, a good…

Incantation by Alice Hoffman

I know that Alice Hoffman is quite a big literary figure. There are whole shelves and sections in the library dedicated to her work and she has written books on a variety of topics. So it is quite surprising that I have never read anything by her. This is the first book of hers that…

The Giver by Lois Lowry

When I heard the movie was coming out, I immediately rushed to the library to reread this book so that I could compare the book to the movie. Reading the book reminded me of how much I loved it. This was probably the first book I read on a dystopian(ish) society and it made a…
