I should give up reading hyped-up books I hear about on BookTok. It never works out for me, and I set my hopes low for this book before starting it. I will review this differently than other books by separating the two main genres: fantasy and romance. The fantasy aspects of the book were okay. […]
King of Scars and Rule of Wolves by Leigh Bardugo Published by Imprint on January 29, 2019; March 30, 2021 Genres: Young Adult, Fantasy, Adventure This will not be spoiler free, so read at your risk! Okay, I thought I loved the Six of Crows duology, which I do, but this one!! Ugh, this one […]
I was never planning on reading Six of Crows. I never planned on reading any of Leigh Bardugo’s books after reading Shadow and Bone.

The best thing about this book is that I want to give Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter another chance. This is quite surprising because my dislike of The Scarlet Letter is quite known among my friends. It did take a bit to get into the story, but I understand why the author wrote it the […]
First, I’ve never been a fan of Romeo and Juliet. Shocking, I know (not really for those who know me). It’s an overdone tragedy when there are plenty of others out there that can fit the bill as easily as Romeo and Juliet. Now, this is not a judgment on anyone if they do like […]
It’s been a while since I’ve read a collection of short stories, and this one is definitely worth a read. The introduction explains how this anthology is a way for Queer People of Color to reclaim the narrative of “other,” “savage,” or “monster.” A chance for these authors to celebrate the complexity of their long-denied […]
What did I just finish reading?! Seriously, I wasn’t expecting this ending, and I will need a few days to get over how it ended. I also need November to come so that way others will have read it, and I can discuss it with them. The book’s plot is fascinating, and why I wanted […]
