We can't choose what we want and don't want and that's the hard lonely truth. Sometimes we want what we want even if we know it's going to kill us. We can't escape who we are. While I try very hard to not look at reviews whilst reading a book, this was one long book... Continue Reading →
"Do not reveal your skill with a blade. Do not reveal your mastery over glamour. Do not reveal all that you can do. Little did Prince Dain know that my real skill lies in pissing people off. " The Cruel Prince was a solid read and I very much enjoyed the story; I'm eager for... Continue Reading →
"What I am telling you, before you begin my story, is this - two things: I crave truth. And I lie." I am a sucker for mysteries and thrillers. Right after I finish reading one that is at least remotely 'good', I can't stop gushing at the plot, the twists and turns, and the what-the-heck-did-I-just-read?... Continue Reading →
"All this time, Dad had taught Leni how dangerous the outside world was. The truth was that the biggest danger of all was in her own home." This is a story about Leni, a young girl coming of age, constantly caught in the midst of her parent's drama. Her mother is insistent on staying with... Continue Reading →
"Never believe it, Hal. Never believe your own lies." I've been a Ruth Ware fan now for a couple of years. Even though her first two books, The Woman in Cabin 10 and In a Dark, Dark Wood get loads of criticism, I really enjoyed each story. I did not particularly enjoy her last book... Continue Reading →
“Life takes us to unexpected places sometimes. The future is never set in stone, remember that.” This was a very unique and intriguing story. I often see it compared to Stephanie Garber's Caraval, but I would say that The Night Circus is significantly different - and better. The Night Circus centers around two young magicians,...

First of all, I pre-ordered this novel because I really, really loved Luckiest Girl Alive. I know that book gets mixed reviews, but for me, it was wonderful. Anyhow, The Favorite Sister was a decent read. Mostly, I enjoy Knoll's writing style. It is honest and uninhibited, which I like. I mean - she's really... Continue Reading →
Being a fan of gaming, of sci-fi, and of thrillers, I very much enjoyed Warcross. It took me a good 50 pages to get into the story, but once I did, I had a difficult time putting it down. Emika Chen is an orphan, barely surviving the harsh realities of being poor in New York... Continue Reading →
This was a solid book. Mostly because it was unpredictable and fast-paced. I raced through the last 100 pages and started the sequel right away because I NEED to know where Maas is going. Feyre is a new-age Belle who winds up on a somewhat harrowing adventure because she shoots an arrow into the wrong... Continue Reading →
"Love of the things that make you happy is steady too - books, words, music, art - these are lights that reappear in a broken universe." I don't have a lot of words to describe how much I loved, loved, loved this novel. It is about books and words and life and loss - it... Continue Reading →
