The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black

The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black

I received a copy of this book at BEA 2014, this does not effect the contents of my review.  As a huge fan of Holly Black, I was super excited to read her new novel. The Darkest Part of the Forest is an interesting and intriguing novel full of awesome world-building. But that’s about all I […]

On Creativity + Personal Posts

One of my resolutions this year was to write more personal posts. And I am the type of person who starts on my resolutions immediately. I followed a bunch of authors/literary agents/publishers/editors on Twitter. I caught up on my reviews and returned my library books in favour of personal books. I made a spreadsheet to keep […]

Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers

Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers

You’re not even going to give me a chance to explain are you?! You’re just going to come full force with your pitchforks and judgey faces?! Look I really REALLY liked Grave Mercy. It just didn’t blow me away or have me gripping the edge of my seat in suspense. I think this can easily […]

Blind by Rachel DeWoskin

When I first heard about Blind, I wanted to read it immediately. I haven’t actually read a book with a blind protagonist, and I was looking forward to read in a new perspective. So you don’t understand how happy I am that this one did not disappoint! I really loved it, and I think Blind is just […]

2015 Goals/Resolutions!

Happy New Year! I’ve seen plenty of people share their resolutions/goals and I wanted to do something similar. These goals are both bookish and non-bookish, random and probably not so random! Carry a pen with me everywhere. I get ideas all the time- for new posts, for writing, even for class projects. But the problem […]

Happy New Year!

New Year’s Day holds a special place in my heart. If you weren’t aware, I actually don’t celebrate Christmas, instead we celebrate New Years. My parents come from the USSR and for them, New Years meant setting up a tree and getting presents in the morning. We still keep this tradition, and when people ask […]

Every Breath by Ellie Marney

Every Breath by Ellie Marney

When I saw everyone freaking out on Twitter over Every Breath, I knew I had to read it. And I am so glad that other bloggers haven’t failed me, Every Breath was exactly what I thought it would be. Okay, that was kinda a lie. I expected to like it more, but still, I immensely enjoyed it. It […]
