Author: Jeff Strand
Publisher: Sourcebooks Fire
Release date: January 1st 2014


A while back, I tried, to the best of my abilities, to review The Greatest Zombie Movie Ever, by Jeff Strand. I say "tried" because in my opinion, I didn't do the book justice. Today, I'm going to try to review I Have a Bad Feeling About This.

Go ask Alice, by Anonymous -review-

June 15, 2016

This is a difficult review to write for me because I still haven't decided if I enjoyed the book or not.

Synopsis:

January 24th

After you've had it, there isn't even life without drugs....

It started when she was served a soft drink laced with LSD in a dangerous party game. Within months, she was hooked, trapped in a downward spiral that took her from her comfortable home and loving family to the mean streets of an unforgiving city. It was a journey that would rob her of her innocence, her youth -- and ultimately her life.

If you enjoy Neil Gaiman as an author, well this is one of his best work. 
If you've never heard of Neil Gaiman but you enjoy parallel universe or amazing world building, this is still the book for you!

Me, Earl and the dying girl, by Jesse Andrews -REVIEW-

Boy am I glad that this book turned out to be awesome!

The thing is, I was scared I wouldn't enjoy this book as much as the movie. I had seen a lot of reviews of people saying they found Me and Earl and the Dying Girl boring and I was hesitating on reading it. Thankfully, a friend of mine had the book and she let me borrow it.


Eve and Adam, by Michael Grant and Katherine Applegate - review -

February 2, 2016


I'll go straight to the point: I did not really enjoy this book. Some parts made me smile, but they were rare and I was left rolling my eyes at this book for the majority of it. Let's make a list of what didn't work for me:

The evolution of Mara Dyer, by Michelle Hodkin -review-

December 14, 2015
For a while now, I've had this book just sitting on my shelf and was hesitating to read it for some unknown reason. Finally, I told myself that it was ridiculous and that I should just pick it up. I did, and while it was still a really good book, it did not match the first one in the series.

Like the first one, this book is pretty hard to resume so here's a copy paste of the back cover.


Mara Dyer once believed she could run from her past.
She can’t.

She used to think her problems were all in her head.
They aren’t.

She couldn’t imagine that after everything she’s been through, the boy she loves would still be keeping secrets.
She’s wrong.



Oh boy, where do I even start...


Calvin, by Martine Leavitt - review -

November 6, 2015

This book was given to me by the lovely Cindy over at Groundwood Books in exchange for an honest review. It does not influence in any way my thoughts on this book.


OMG!!! Guys, this is THE book you have to read this year. I mean yeah, there's Six of Crows that came out and Queen of shadows, but this book is a whole different category and it deserves all the attention it can get!

Madly, by Amy Alward - review -

October 26, 2015


Sorry about last week guys! As I said on Twitter, I was busy finishing my NaNoWriMo calendars and to be frank, I just didn't have a book to review... I know! I've been so occupied in the last two weeks that I only just finished Madly, by Amy Alward.

The Sky is Everywhere, by Jandy Nelson - review -

October 5, 2015



I wanted to love this book, I really did. But unfortunately, The Sky is Everywhere turned into a DNF.

I was about 75 pages in and just could not bring myself to really get involved in the story. So I read some dialogue here and there till the end and I'm glad I did not spend more time actually reading the whole book because it was really NOT for me.
