Check out on Goodreads Get at Book Depository ★★★★★ 5 stars Why is it that I can’t seem to be able to write a review for The Fifth Season for so long? I’ve finished it at the end of April, now it’s August, and lo and behold – the review has not materialized. …Why? I’ll tell you why. Because when…

I’ve been blog hopping a lot lately. It’s all good fun and I mostly like what I see, but… There’s this recurring problem I keep encountering. It’s just the fact that half the reviews I read spoil the book for me. This fact baffles me to the ends of the world! Like… We are reviewers, right? What is our goal? What we,…

Check out on Goodreads Get at Book Depository ★★★★☆ 4 stars Really, the name of Things To Do When You’re Goth In The Country doesn’t even need me to come up with a snazzy headline for the post. It’s already kickass enough. So naturally, when I saw this book and read what it was about, I couldn’t fail to hit the…

This has got to be one of the most fun tags ever! I have been thinking of doing it for months, and I mean months, as the first time I saw it on Ditsha’s blog was way back in March! Thanks for this great idea, Ditsha! And thanks for letting me use it. The idea is, you pick 5 books with…

Check out on Goodreads Get at Book Depository ★★★★★ 5 SHINING stars WOW. I can actually not believe this book. I bought Red Rising ages ago, and it’s been lying and lying around on my Kindle. I would look at it and go, nah… Why did I even buy this… It’s probably typical YA Hunger Games sort of stuff… Going to…

Check out on Goodreads Get at Book Depository ★★★★☆ 4 stars I have neglected posting this book’s review for far too long. Especially when it has been such a pleasant experience reading it as it has. This is one of those slow-burn books that you just can’t really read fast – what with it being over 800 pages and all,…

I was tagged for this fun post two weeks ago by Maureen @ Maureen’s Books! I’ve only managed to find a slot in my schedule for it right now, and although the middle of July could hardly be called mid-year, but hey… Better late than never? So let’s talk about the past half a year in books! Thanks for tagging me,…

During my blog hop last week I met a looooot of fun people. One of those people has been Marta @ The Somewhere Library. Marta has suggested we do a fun cross post project, so we’ve come up with an interviewed buddy read idea. Which means, we both tell each other what to read from our TBR and interview each other…

Check out on Goodreads Get at Book Depository ★★★✬☆ 3.5 stars Carrying on with my Anne readalong, I was a bit late to read the second part. That’s mostly due to the fact that at first it completely failed to draw me in. I felt like it’s just filler up to like a third of the book in! Where’s all the…

Now I know this is going to resonate with some of you strongly. Jackie @ Death By Tsundoku has a whole blog named after this phenomenon. Cait @ Paper Fury has mentioned to me time and again the intricacies of her delicate relationship with Gemina as well. I could pull up more examples, but you all know what I’m talking…

This time I have a sort of an unusual review post here. One day when I was browsing Edelweiss, I found a delightful publisher of books, primarily focused on photos, but also some info on the places they’re from, or mainly just history. So I grabbed three books and I’m covering them all in one post. All three of them…

Check out on Goodreads Get at Book Depository ★★★★★ 5 stars I find myself struggling to start this review. Because the book was just so unbelievable, I find myself at a lack of words. What would it be like to watch the end of the world as a bystander? As someone who has always thought that living that way was…

Check out on Goodreads Get at Book Depository ★★★★☆ 4 stars #Wrong number 1 So at first I thought this book would be easy and fun. A kids’ read. Just what I need right now. #Wrong number 2 Then I thought it would be a three star read. #Wrong number 3 I thought it would be pretty forgettable. And that it…

Check out on Goodreads Get at Book Depository ★★★★☆ 4 stars If you’re only here for the fun and the fiction, turn around. This post is not for you. In fact, if you haven’t heard terms like lucid dreaming, awareness or consciousness, or if you use terms like reincarnation or karma as topical jokes only, you might find this post…

Check out on Goodreads Get at Book Depository ★★★☆☆ 3 stars I have this complicated relationship with sequels somehow. I don’t know why it’s always like this. I mean, I’m not saying that all sequels are bad. Of course not! I’m not even saying this one is. But I was just kind of hoping it would be better. That is to…

Check out on Goodreads Get at Book Depository ★★★★☆ 4 stars I have a weakness for non-fiction that talks about tough topics. I spot a book about disability, being different, diversity, suffering, all that stuff… I click buy. Request. Read. That’s just who I am. Come on, does the cover not already capture you? How could someone love too much? How can there…

Check out on Goodreads Get at Book Depository ★★★★✬ 4.5 stars Oh, Anne! How I wish I had known I’d love your story so much – then I would have not postponed reading it for so long. A big thanks to Jackie B. @ Death By Tsundoku and Jane @ Greenish Bookshelf for finally giving me a nudge to read this.…

Check out on Goodreads Get at Book Depository ★★★★★ 5 stars If I were you, I’d just read this book already. But stick around, if you want to find out why. So let’s ignore the somewhat tacky cover for a bit. (I’m glad I can look past the cover. I’m better than that! But I know that I nearly didn’t click…
