Bookish Discussion: Judging a Book By The Cover

“Don’t judge a book by a cover” is a popular saying meaning we shouldn’t judge people based on appearances. In reality, it’s a lot harder to not make snap judgements, and when taken literally, I haven’t met anyone who hasn’t judged a book by the cover. Haven’t you ever bought a book because of the…… Continue reading Bookish Discussion: Judging a Book By The Cover

Book Review: Everything Everything by Nicola Yoon (Alley Entertainment)

Processed with VSCO with kc25 preset

Still reeling from my last amazing fantasy read, I took to another book in a vastly different genre: a contemporary YA romance. I finished Everything Everything by Nicola Yoon, published by Alley Entertainment, and honestly, was really disappointed with it. I really wanted to like the book, not the least because it was a Christmas…… Continue reading Book Review: Everything Everything by Nicola Yoon (Alley Entertainment)

Book Review: Legendborn by Tracy Deonn (Simon & Schuster)

I first found Legendborn by Tracy Deonn, published by Simon & Schuster, through Bookstagram and it looked brilliant. YA fantasy/king Arthur retelling? Sign me up. Naturally, when I saw the book in the bookstore, I had to have it. It was on my backlist TBR for a while but this month I finally picked it…… Continue reading Book Review: Legendborn by Tracy Deonn (Simon & Schuster)

Book Review: The Gilded Ones by Namina Forna (Usbourne Publishing Ltd.)

Moving off the Grishaverse until I get Rule of Wolves, I decided to read a book that I bought a couple months ago, and has been on my tbr backlist. I was so excited for it because I’ve seen it promoted on bookstagram, has beautiful cover art, and the book is completed with green sprayed…… Continue reading Book Review: The Gilded Ones by Namina Forna (Usbourne Publishing Ltd.)

I stayed up until two am last night to finish the Six of Crows duology by Leigh Bardugo, published by ORION Children’s Books. If you’ve read my Six of Crows review, you know I loved it.

Book Review: Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo (ORION Children’s Books)

If you’ve read my Shadow and Bone reviews, you’ll know that wasn’t a big fan of that trilogy. Still, I decided to read the next series, a duology from the same universe. I just finished the first book in the duology, Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo (published by ORION Children’s books), and let me…… Continue reading Book Review: Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo (ORION Children’s Books)

I have been going through books so fast this week I haven’t had a chance to do other types of posts here! Last night, I stayed up late to finish the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, with the last book Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian by Rick Riordan, published by Puffin Books. In…… Continue reading Book Review: Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian by Rick Riordan (Puffin Books)

Processed with VSCO with kc25 preset

I finally finished the Shadow and Bone trilogy! I still have to read the Six of Crows duology before I watch the show, of course. If some of you are living in a cave or, like me, have not gotten around to Shadow and Bone yet, I hope this review and summary can help! Ruin…… Continue reading Book Review: Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo (ORION Children’s Books)

Processed with VSCO with kc25 preset

Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo is the sequel to Shadow and Bone, a trilogy I decided to get into since the hype tripled with the release of its Netflix show. You can read my Shadow and Bone review here. This is Leigh Bardugo’s first trilogy–I believe Shadow and Bone was her first-ever book. If…… Continue reading Book Review: Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo (Orion Children’s Books)
