Book Review | The Waking Forest

March 11, 2019.Reading time 6 minutes.

It’s been a while since I’ve read a young adult fantasy book. So I have been on the lookout for a new one to pick up. Alyssa Wees’s debut novel, The Waking Forest caught my attention. It’s marketed as “Pan’s Labyrinth meets The Hazel Wood” and I was was immediately sold. (All reviews are spoiler-free […]

Weekly Wrap Up – March 10

March 10, 2019.Reading time 6 minutes.

This week may have been not that great, but it was a pretty decent reading week. I was planning on reading more this weekend, but, to be honest, I’ve been in a bad mood for the past few days and don’t really feel like reading much. But, I still managed to read four books this […]

Book Review | The Trial of Lizzie Borden

March 8, 2019.Reading time 7 minutes.

I was a strange kid who was fascinated by both space and weird historical events. One of those weird historical events was the Borden murders. I don’t remember the first time I learned about them – I probably heard the rhyme and looked it up – but I’ve been interested ever since. Obviously, I couldn’t […]

In February, I tried a new thing: instead of buying a ton of discount books, I just bought a few new releases I was interested in. You know, […]

Book Review | House on Fire

March 4, 2019.Reading time 7 minutes.

I don’t read a lot of contemporary fiction. But I do occasionally enjoy it, and Bonnie Kistler’s debut novel, House on Fire, caught my eye. It seemed like a great family drama. I was hoping for a new Celeste Ng, and that’s not exactly what I got. While I don’t regret giving this book a chance, it definitely […]

Weekly Wrap Up – March 3

March 3, 2019.Reading time 4 minutes.

One more reading great reading week down. I don’t mean to brag, but I am killing it so far this year (knock on wood). I can’t speak for the rest of my life, but my reading has been kind of amazing the past few months. and this week was no exception. I read a total […]
