High school Darcy would’ve quite literally killed for a book like this when they were a teenager. To know they weren’t alone, that others in the world felt like they did, and that they weren’t abnormal or wrong would’ve been everything. Both girls come to the relationship with their own issues and traumas that are […]
This book was really fun and quite hilarious, which I wasn’t expecting considering the contents of the novel. I do want to protect James like a baby brother and be best friends with Nye! The whole book was fascinating tale of what body snatchers did along with the why and how. Before such things as […]
Before starting on the review for the book, I have to admit that I’m not a fan of The Bachelor/ette, Bachelor in Paradise, or any of it’s many other spin-offs. I’ve watched a season of the Bachelor (or maybe the Bachelorette) and a season of Bachelor in Paradise. It contained a lot of what is […]
In the Hour of Crows was such a fantastical, mysterious book set in the Appalachia region of Georgia. Such a deep novel of a young woman trying to live after tragedy strikes. While I read the summary and knew what to expect for the novel, I was a bit thrown that there wasn’t a romance […]
While I absolutely loved this novel, it took me a while to really get into it. The inciting action of the story, the murder of Venus’s mom, doesn’t happen till about 20% into the book. A couple of chapters later, when the Grand Witcher offers Venus revenge, that the story starts becoming interesting. To clarify, […]
Wow! I finished this late Saturday night; it’s now Monday, and I’m still not over this novel. The writing was beautiful and atmospheric, and I loved all the characters. And, of course, that ending! Ugh! I need the next book now. I was so excited to read this book because, first, it sounded fascinating, and […]
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 […]
I actually had this whole thing written out back in February but forgot to post it. Oops!! First, the novel’s concept was quite compelling and made me want to read it, along with the cover. Second, I’m all for feminism and women helping women, but this novel fell flat. There were too many plot holes […]
