I still don't know why I felt that it was time to read my first Stephen King book, or why I chose Pet Sematary for my initiation into King's bibliography; but I did. As I wasn't too sure I was ready to commit to purchasing a Stephen King book, so I perused my local library's [...]
I don't actually know what happened or how it happened & why it happened but I had fun, I think. You ever read a book where the character is so utterly ridiculous and the narrative is so out-of-this-world insane? I was on a wild ride with Casper Pearl's Chuck Steak. Described as a satirical action thriller, Chuck Steak is everything a 90s action movie would be, including the absolutely insane action scenes, the killer one-liners and [...]
If Twilight was written better and for a more mature audience and, of course, if Bella was a witch. This is what you would get. ... I want to preface this by saying that I literally had to force myself not to write this review immediately after completingย Discovery of Witches. Not entirely because I liked [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
A futuristic post-apocalyptic, dystopian, mind-bending thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seats. A completely wonderful sci-fi novel that overwhelms the senses. A feat of impossible imagination and a triumph of the sci-fi genre. ... I haveย finally been able to immerse myself completely into William F. Aicher'sย The Unfortunate Expiration of Mr. David [...]
"Giving up on the Romano del Mare was like giving up on the dream of finding love, and it broke Adeline's heart"ย (p. 13). This is the first time I read a book by Leslie North, and honestly, I am so happy that I was able to immerse myself intoย theย 'Italian Billionaire's Stubborn Lover'.ย 'Italian Billionaire's Stubborn Lover'ย does [...]
