[Mini-Review] The Lover’s Dictionary by David Levithan

[Mini-Review] The Lover’s Dictionary by David Levithan

I have no idea how to even describe The Lover’s Dictionary. Essentially, it’s a dictionary. But instead of the meaning of each word, it’s a short paragraph describing a scenario,thought or action involving that word. Specially, involving the main character and his lover. Hence, The Lover’s Dictionary is a perfect title. I’m not going to lie: I […]

The Novice by Taran Matharu

The Novice by Taran Matharu

I received a copy of this book from the publisher, this does not influence my review. DNF at 10%. Okay, I really hate DNFing books, I really do. But after spending 4 days attempting to read and just wasting my time, I had to DNF. I love character driven books. If I can’t connect to […]

The Secrets We Keep by Trisha Leaver

The Secrets We Keep by Trisha Leaver

I received a copy of this book from the publisher, this does not influence my review. I have to start this review stating my own bias: I have a twin, and this heavily influences the way I read The Secrets We Keep. But let me back up first, what is The Secrets We Keep actually about? Maddy […]

Becoming Jinn by Lori Goldstein

Becoming Jinn by Lori Goldstein

I received this book for review from the publisher, that does not influence my review. I’m not usually into paranormal books, but I love reading interpretations of mythological creatures/beings, and Becoming Jinn sounded like the perfect mix of contemporary fiction + supernatural! Azra has always known she’s a Jinn. Her mother, and her grandmother and her […]

Dream A Little Dream by Kerstin Gier

Dream A Little Dream by Kerstin Gier

I received a copy of this book from the publisher for review. This does not influence my review. I loved the premise of Dream A Little Dream. I mean, meeting people in your dreams that you haven’t met before and then recognizing them at a new school the next day? Seems pretty awesome! When Olivia (Liv) moves […]

All the Rage by Courtney Summers

All the Rage by Courtney Summers

I received a copy of this book from the publisher, this does not influence the contents of my review. I am a huge contemporary fan but I am vastly behind on reading books revolving deeper issues, as I tend to stray towards light and fluffy ones. As I realize that books help shield some horrors […]

The Queen of Bright and Shiny Things by Ann Aguirre

The Queen of Bright and Shiny Things by Ann Aguirre

I received an ARC of this from the publisher, this does not influence my review.  I have heard great things about Ann Aguirre’s NA books so when I heard about a new romance YA from her, I was definitely interested! Sage has been living for 3 years with her aunt in a small quaint town. She’s been […]

The Winner’s Crime by Marie Rutkoski

The Winner’s Crime by Marie Rutkoski

I received an electronic copy of this book for review from the publisher. This doesn’t effect the contents of my review. If you’ve been following me on Twitter, then you probably know what a crazy fangirl I am about the The Winner’s Trilogy. Marie Rutkoski delivered again and The Winner’s Crime was a fantastic sequel to an […]

Stone in the Sky by Cecil Castellucci

Stone in the Sky by Cecil Castellucci

I received a copy of Stone in the Sky from the publisher, this does not influence my review. After reading Tin Star earlier last year, I was super excited for a sequel. I loved its originality and plot, and the main character, Tula, was a refreshing voice. And I’m happy to say that Stone in the Sky lived up […]

I’ll Meet You There by Heather Demetrios

I’ll Meet You There by Heather Demetrios

I received an electronic copy of this book for my review. This does not influence my opinion on the book or the contents of my review. I was nervous to read I’ll Meet You There, it’s been on my radar since the synopsis and cover first came out but I’m glad to say it did not […]
