The Young World by Chris Weitz

The Young World by Chris Weitz

I read in phases. Currently, I’m on what I call a contemporary craze but I was once upon a time, obsessed with post-apocalypse. So when I heard about The Young World, my old need to read these types of books came flourishing back. My mind: OMFG NO ADULTS?! DISEASE?! OMFG, I NEED THIS BOOK LIKE NNNNNOOOOOOOWWWW! Sufficient […]

Unremembered by Jessica Brody

Unremembered by Jessica Brody

I received a paperback of Unremembered in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect the content of my review.  I have wanted to start this series for so long but it wasn’t until Unremembered was optioned for a movie that I finally had a chance to read it. And boy, am I glad I […]

Otherbound by Corinne Duyvis

Otherbound by Corinne Duyvis

When I first heard about Otherbound,  I knew I had to request it. A LGBT book with awesome fantasy elements? Sign me up! Nolan, our main character, is a teenager who enters the mind of Amara, a young servant in a mythical land, every time he closes his eyes. Of course, Amara slowly figures out what is happening […]

Better Off Friends by Elizabeth Eulberg

Better Off Friends by Elizabeth Eulberg

When I first opened up this book, I knew I would love it. I’ve read my fair share of contemporary books and I can honestly say that Better off Friends is unique and nothing like I’ve read before. Basically, Better Off Friends is easily one of my favourite reads of 2014 and possibly ever. I recommend this one to contemporary lovers […]
