Review: Tiger Lily

Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson My rating: 5 of 5 stars “It turned out that my curiosity did not outweigh my courage after all. Sometimes love means not being able to bear seeing the one you love the way they are, when they're not what you hoped for.”  I've never been particularly fond of the Peter Pan story, however this is nothing...

Review: A Court of Mist and Fury

A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas My rating: 5 of 5 stars “He thinks he'll be remembered as the villain in the story. But I forgot to tell him that the villain is usually the person who locks up the maiden and throws away the key. He was the one who let me out.” I read A Court of Thorn...

Review: Shades of Magic Series

A Conjuring of Light by V.E. Schwab My rating: 4 of 5 stars “Love and loss,” he said, “are like a ship and the sea. They rise together. The more we love, the more we have to lose. But the only way to avoid loss is to avoid love. And what a sad world that would be.”  There are some books which are...

Review: My Lady Jane

My Lady Jane by Cynthia Hand My rating: 3 of 5 stars “My Lady, please! I am indecent.' 'You are,' Jane agreed. 'Not to mention the fact that you are also unclothed.” “I’m glad we will not be forced to live by your quill, because I am rather used to having food on the table. But, I appreciate the effort behind those words.”...

Review: Heartless

Heartless by Marissa Meyer My rating: 5 of 5 stars  "Once I was a lonely Rook upon a distant shore, and I would murder for my queen so we might win a war. Now mine eyes see the heart that once we did search for, and I fear this heart shall be mended nevermore."  Honestly, this was so good I don't even have...

Review: Ready Player One

Ready Player One by Ernest Cline My rating: 5 of 5 stars  So I read this book a long time ago (which means I don't remember everything exactly) but to honor the hype I've decided to write a review anyway. I love video games, even though I discovered the joy of them when I got older (my mom didn't want my brother and...

Review: Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo My rating: 5 of 5 stars  "They would learn to fear her, and they would know her by her name. The heart is an arrow. It demands aim to land true."  I cannot express in words how much I love this book, it is not only one of the best I've read this year, but in the...

Review: Side Effects May Vary

Side Effects May Vary by Julie Murphy My rating: 4 of 5 stars "I’d heard in class once that our society has become so accustomed to violence that when we actually do witness real gore and brutality, we’re unable to differentiate between what’s real and what’s not."  I don't read much contemporary, I often don't like the characters and the fact that there...

Review: How to be Parisian Wherever You Are

How to Be Parisian Wherever You Are: Love, Style, and Bad Habits by Anne Berest My rating: 4 of 5 stars  "Black is the colour of celebration, the colour of nights that never end." I think most of the people who has given this book bad reviews didn't quite understand it. This book won't give you lady-like advice, it will not turn you into...

Review: Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell My rating: 4 of 5 stars  “Happily ever after, or even just together ever after, is not cheesy,” Wren said. “It’s the noblest, like, the most courageous thing two people can shoot for.”  Highly enjoyable and pretty cute, Rowell captures the awkward essence of social anxiety really well and her characters are truly a treat. I think everyone who...
