Sadie by Courtney Summers | ARC Review

This novel was provided to me by St. Martin's Press on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Although I enjoy watching crime shows and thriller movies, this novel is one of the few books I've read in the genre. I went in expecting to love it, thanks to the hype, and the book kept…

Booktube-A-Thon Wrap Up | 2018

So, this was a sort-of successful Booktube-A-Thon, especially for my first ever one. Although I didn't get to complete all seven challenges, I did manage to read a few books that I enjoyed and had a good time reading! CHALLENGE: Let a coin toss decide your first read.

Turtles All the Way Down by John Green | Review

This novel began with such an incredibly interesting and potent beginning that I was sure it would be a 5-star read. I was a bit disappointed by the plot of the story, although I didn't have high expectations because the only other John Green novel I've read, The Fault In Our Stars, did not amaze…

Here we go again. With another exciting readathon comes my as-always-overly-ambitious TBR pile that has a very high chance of being pushed aside when my mood reading kicks in.

The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee | Audiobook Review

Although this book was not on my to-be-read list, I picked it up after noticing all the hype surrounding it. This is a young adult historical fiction novel with a bisexual main character that revolves around themes of unrequited love, alchemy, and societal issues of the eighteenth century. It's very different from the sort of…

Currently Reading | July 2018

If I tried to list all the books that I have started and am currently in the middle of, I wouldn't be able to fit it on this page. There are just too many books that appeal to me and I have a real problem of picking up another book before I have finished my…

All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr | Review

I could not have chosen a more perfect novel to delve into the genre of historical fiction. This book has just the right blend of lyrical writing, complex characters, suspense, and a realistic portrayal of a world at war. "Radio: it ties a million ears to a single mouth. Out of loudspeakers all around Zollverein,…
