I can't write books so I review them instead
Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for this eARC in exchange for my honest review. I don’t read many historical fiction novels. But when I do, I try to read ones that are as unique as possible. This one really popped out to me because I had never read about a columnist – even…
I rarely ever read nonfiction books. But this one … well, it wasn’t one I could pass. An autobiography, the author explores her harrowing childhood journey in war-torn Rwanda. Thank you to the First to Read program for this eARC in exchange for my honest review. Summary (Goodreads): Clemantine Wamariya was six years old when…
As soon as I read the premise for this novel, I knew I had to give it a go. This story was literally marketed as “perfect for a fan of Margaret Atwood” … and I am definitely a fan of Atwood’s work. Another thing I found out about this author and this book that made…
It has taken me a long time to get my hands on this book but I am so glad I did! I love everything about Peter Pan and I knew that this novel would be perfect for me, just by reading the premise. It reminded me of The Child Thief by Brom, which was also a…
When I received the ARC for this novel, it was all I could do to wait until the release day to read it. I generally try to read ARCs close to their publishing date, but it was a struggle for me to wait for this one. I absolutely LOVED Sleeping Giants, and I’ve been waiting for…
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. My knowledge on world history is really poor. It’s not something I’m proud of.

The reason I’ve always liked historical fiction is that my own knowledge on historical events is pretty much nonexistent. Yes, I took history classes in high school but they barely taught me anything. And I definitely did not have the time to take a course in university that would provide me with more in-depth knowledge.…
I remember reading The Scorpion Rules and absolutely loving the novel, with is AIs and hostage situation. I had also liked the fact that this novel had been presented as a standalone. So imagine my surprise, when I recently discovered that the author had published a sequel this year! Naturally, that meant I had to reread The…
Just recently, I watched the movie Arrival starring Amy Adams. It was such a thought-provoking movie and I loved every minute of it so much so that I rewatched it! It put me into the mood for something cerebral. I didn’t want to read something lighthearted, something that would give me a quick thrill and let…
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…
