Unbreathable by Hafsah Laziaf

Unbreathable by Hafsah Laziaf

First, a word to the author, Hafsah. I respect and admire how brave you were when it came to trusting us, those who are close to you, with reading and JUDGING your baby, Unbreathable. Thank you for having that courage, because you really are talented and I’m so damn happy I was given the chance to […]

Real by Katy Evans

Real by Katy Evans

  I’ve rewritten this damn review 4 times over the past 2 days and I’m tired. Real was a book that had me dying laughing within the 1st 30 pages, and I feel it’s only right to reenact my thoughts and feelings in gifs. But not ordinary gifs! The funniest of the funny, so stay tuned […]

Reboot by Amy Tintera

Reboot by Amy Tintera

I was really, really, REALLY excited to read Reboot. In fact I was so excited, I forever changed how I was going to read and review my “What Should I Read Next” poll winners. And even though I truly wanted to loved this book, I found myself walking away with my super disappointed face. I’m […]

Find Me by Romily Bernard Tour & Giveaway!

Find Me by Romily Bernard Tour & Giveaway!

You know I was starting to think I was broken. That there was something absolutely wrong with my brain. I mean, I’ve read 3 books lately that the whole bookish community has pretty much lined up to sell their granny’s for and all I’ve felt was, “meh”. That has to mean something was wrong with me […]

The Archived by Victoria Schwab

The Archived by Victoria Schwab

The Archived by Victoria Schwab was one of those books I was sure I would love. It just seemed natural. My bookish twins enjoyed it, the premise was promising, and the reviews (from those I trust) were all awe-inspiring. But it just didn’t work for me. Which irks my flipping soul because I REALLY wanted […]

Beast. Elektra. Hawkwoman. Picture them standing in the middle of your street. Now imagine them taking their various powers and destroying everything you’ve ever […]

White Trash Beautiful by Teresa Mummert

White Trash Beautiful by Teresa Mummert

  *NOTE: this review is not for the easily disturbed.* I know for a fact that most people who read this story will walk away with tears in their eyes and hope in their hearts. Sadly I’m not one of them.   Domestic abuse, drug abuse, poverty, co-dependency and abandonment are just a few of […]
