Heartbreaking and Hopeful, lifelike | Craigslist Confessional | Book Review

Craigslist Confessional: A Collection of Secrets from Anonymous Strangers by Helena Dea Bala My rating: 4 of 5 stars I definitely feel like I missed the point of this book. I feel as though there is some deeper message or theme that went right over my head because, though I hate to admit it, sometimes,…

Ladybug… I mean Winter | Book Review

Winter by Marissa Meyer My rating: 5 of 5 stars [Credit: Kat Adara] This book is truly one of the best endings to a great series that I have ever read. I really don't have anything to add that hasn't already been said. I loved this ending. I love the characters. F**k Levana here are…

cringey and forced | Covid-128 | Book Review

COVID-128 by Marissa Meyer [Credit: Julie Crowell] I have chosen to not rate this book because it's a quirky, almost parodic short story but if I was, I would give it a painful, single star. Listen, I love Marissa and the Lunar Chronicles and I understand the point of this story was to briefly entertain…

The least great book of the series | Cress | Book Review

Cress by Marissa Meyer My rating: 5 of 5 stars [Credit: Scott Keenan] While I did rate this book five stars, it's probably my least favorite of the series. So, what's this book about? In this third book in the Lunar Chronicles, Cinder and Captain Thorne are fugitives on the run, now with Scarlet and…

Not even a review | The Pedestrian | Mini review (not really)

The Pedestrian: A Fantasy in One Act by Ray Bradbury My rating: 3 of 5 stars Well, that was boring and weird. I read this for English class and considering it was like a five-minute read, I don't have much to say. It's supposed to be dystopian but I can see this whole thing happening…

Cute character pairs | Scarlet | Book Review

Scarlet by Marissa Meyer My rating: 5 of 5 stars [Credit: @crookedyew] "But you're the only one, Scarlet. You'll always be the only one." Even better than Cinder! I loved this book. It is one of those rare sequels that didn't drop the ball. In fact, it kept the ball rolling. Meyer was able to…

Cinder | Book Review

Cinder by Marissa Meyer My rating: 5 of 5 stars [Credit: Unknown artist] "She was a cyborg, and she would never go to a ball." I loved this book even more the second time around. It's quick-paced, well-written and an overall fun read. So, what's this book about? Humans and androids crowd the raucous streets…

Ugh | What’s Your F**king Sign | Book Review

What's Your F*cking Sign?: Sweary Astrology for You and Me by Ida Noe My rating: 1 of 5 stars My first draft of this review was a tad harsh but I've let my thoughts simmer and I am ready to share my thoughts with a tad less snark. So.... here we go First, I want…

WTF | Kissing the Coronavirus | Book Review

Kissing the Coronavirus by M.J. Edwards I... I don't know what I expected but it wasn't this. This book has made its rounds through the internet and has even been featured outside of the book community. I discovered it via Amanda's video which I really enjoyed. I don't have much to add to be quite…

-_- meh | Over the Woodward Wall | Book Review

Over the Woodward Wall by A. Deborah Baker My rating: 3 of 5 stars Many thanks to Macmillan Audio for the free audio copy in exchange for an honest review I was very apprehensive to read this. Partly because Seanan McGuire's books haven't been my favorite but mostly because, Seanan McGuire isn't my favorite. I…
