G'day friends! Today I bring to you my delayed review for Yes No Maybe So by Becky Albertalli and Aisha Saeed for its Australian blog tour! As a result of my presentation next week, I have been super behind with my reading and reviews! I can't wait until I am back into my blogging groove [...]
I am going to say this right now: this review will contain all the spoilery content! so! be! warned! CW: character death, instances of bullying, racism (alien racism?), soulmate insta-love (is that a trigger warning? in this case, possibly yes). G'day friends! As I'm writing this, I am in my pyjamas, on a kind-of sunny [...]
Holy shit on a stick. So, confession, I have been wanting to read A Gentlemen's Guide to Vice and Virtue ever since it was released. This was mainly because of two reasons: one; lgbtqia historical romance which HELLO YES THANK YOU HELP QUENCH MY THIRST; and second, an ACTUAL HAPPY ENDING ! We have been [...]
A girl at night, a caged monster during the day.ย ... I began readingย Korriganย by Rebecca F. Kenney in the midst of readingย A Discovery of Witchesย by Deborah Harkness. Why is this important? Just wait, I'll explain in a moment. If you're familiar with Discovery of Witches, you know that it centres around the story of 'no-I-don't-want-to-be-a-witch' [...]
Well, hello there friends! It's been a while, I must say. But here I am with a bookish post to quench your thirst! Now, I wrote this twitter thread a few months ago, and I remember thinking to myself, I should just make this into a post for my blog and make it into some [...]
... The only way I can properly describe Scream All Night by Derek Milman, his debut novel, is this: whatever you think should never happen in reality, actually, somehow, happens. It is fantastically chaotic, confusing and hilarious. Scream All Night narrates the story of Dario Heyward, who had made the promise to himself at age [...]
... Think of chaos and then multiply that by thirteen and you have the setting of Morgan Matsonโs new YA novel, Save the Date. Charlie Grant is in a state of longing - that is, she canโt wait to spend the entire weekend with all of her siblings at the family home. Yes, itโs for [...]
ย if the Bible met Harry Potter - this novel would be the result. Prodigy Princeย by Natasha Sapienza is a young adult novel which tells the story of Prince Nuelle, the youngest prince of the Supreme King Nifal of Zephoris. Prodigy Princeย is the first novel in Sapienza'sย The Seven Covenantย series, and is fundamentally a creative and imaginative [...]
I was lucky enough to be given a free ARC of this novel, thanks to NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review. overall rating: 4/5 Hey dudes, This review has only taken me the better part of the month to write because every single time I sat down to write book reviewsโฆwell, I had assessments [...]
Whoops. I am so late. I thought I wrote this blog post! Maybe I dreamt it? Sometimes, I am a lost cause. If you don't already know, every month I make a short post talking about the books I read in the past month. If you want to read January and February, then click on [...]
