I love reading poetry. I think that's a fact that just about everyone who follows me knows by now. I especially love discovering poetry that I've never before seen or read, and in the case of today's review, this was the case. In the most broadest sense, Where I Ache by Megan O'Keefe is a [...]
Houdini vs. Rasputin by C. Michael Forsyth was an interesting and entertaining historical fiction read, one that was action-packed and filled with suspense. I would characterise it as a historical fiction adventure, set in Tsarist Russia between the years 1903-1911. It depicts a story between two powerful men: Harry Houdini and Rasputin in a 'hero' [...]
Worth the hype? EDIT: Bunked it down to a 2 star in the aftermath of speaking with a few people about this book, its problems and overall mediocrity. I am going to be completely honest with all of you, because this is a safe space, I wrote this review before knowing that the author enjoys [...]
In his line of work sometimes people had to die. The Last Straw by Ed Duncan is the second book in his Pigeon-Blood Red series and follows multiple characters' throughout but centres on Rico and his history/present with Paul. I must admit that I didn't actually know that this novel was actually the second in [...]
Dr. Anne Brown speaks passionately about being your authentic self and learning to empower yourself through being able to say no. A few years ago, Dr. Anne Brown authored the book Backbone Power: The Science of Saying No, and she is now coming out with an abridged audiobook version for busy people on the go. [...]
This is what I have come to understand of our history, that thing buried and skewed under hidden agendas and untruths... YAY! Welcome to Day One of the Ultimate Blog Tour Extravaganza! I just want to thank, with all my heart, Dave at @The_WriteReads for organising this epic blog tour and for giving me the [...]
A sense of euphoria washed over me. For the first time in my life, I had made a split-second decision. I was going to do something that I hadn't scheduled or planned for at least six months in advance. I was going to Paris. Postcard from Paris by Holly Willow was the romance novel I [...]
This is the rule of survival: you figure out who and what you're up against, and then you fight. Death's Kiss is the debut novel of Regie Khemvisay which tells the story of a young girl, named Yuri James, and a young boy, Ryoma Evans; two star-crossed lovers who find themselves knee-deep in the machinations [...]
Amanda Lovelace's Women Are Some Kind of Magic series include some of my all-time favourite collections of poetry. The Princess Saves Herself In This One and especially The Witch Doesn't Burn in This One are two of my all-time favourite poetry collections. Lovelace is somehow able to grasp the reader's heart in one hand with [...]
Emancipation, to him, was the stuff of history books and political speeches, not the reality in which he lived and breathed everyday. To say that I am shocked would be an understatement. I don't know what exactly I was expecting upon beginning this book, but I must admit that it surpassed my expectations. A Flight of Broken Wings is [...]
