Today’s my stop for the blog tour of Instructions for Dancing by Nicola Yoon with The Write Reads blog tours, and what a story it was! It’s got everything – a sweet love story, grief and betrayal, yet healing as well. It’s a story about how life can’t really ever be a fairytale, but it’s what we experience along the…

I’m still reeling after finishing Shards of Earth – what a story… For those who have experienced Mass Effect (re-released this week, by the way! My husband is playing it as I’m writing this post), I can only say that it’s a very similar story, both in terms of how grand, amazingly written and dark it is. If you’re a…

Today I’m participating in a blog tour for What Beauty There Is by Cory Anderson (thank you for the review copy, TheWriteReads Tours!) This was a tense read! What Beauty There Is gave me the vibes from The Boy Who Steals Houses, only it was darker – so much darker. Actually, I didn’t expect this book to be so dark…

Today I’m happy to be part of The WriteReads blog tour for The Cousins by Karen McManus! I don’t often read thrillers, but when I do, I make a point to choose good ones. The Cousins was a good twisty mystery of sins done in the past and family grudges still running strong – it wasn’t one of those stories…

The Inheritance Games is so good I just don’t know where to begin! I started reading it on a rainy day during my vacation, and it’s a good thing the weather was crap too, because otherwise I would have lost a particularly good day of being out, unable to unglue myself from the book and look at any of my…

Okay, so what have we got here? Magic, pirate women, in fact – a pirate ship with an all-women crew (well, aside from a ghost and an owl), a brilliant library within said pirate ship, adventure and hidden mysterious treasures!! And a girl who gets told that “girls don’t go on adventures” and “girls can’t do anything”, when it’s painfully…

Those who have been following my blog for the past half a year or so might have noticed that I keep blogging about this book series called The Great Devil War, or as I sometimes call them, “The Devil’s Apprentice etc” (can’t blame me – The Devil’s Apprentice is the first book!) If you haven’t read the reviews for the…

I have an interesting little story regarding this book! Disclaimer: read on for possibly boring personal life details and a lot of bitching about life 😂 you have been warned! (If you just want the review, scroll to the place with the name of the book! It starts there.) Since I’ve written and rewritten this first paragraph five times now…

This time I am introducing you to a series called The Element Oddyseys, and if you haven’t heard of it yet – read the review of book one, The Breedling and the City in the Garden, here. Set in the Prohibition era and having boys as the main characters, it strikes you as quite a different fantasy series to the typical ones these…

Check out on Goodreads Get at Book Depository ★★★★☆ 4 stars When I was offered the chance to review this nonfiction collection about disability, I just couldn’t say no. Bring on these topics. I gotta make dialogue about this. And I was not wrong to accept. It’s Just Nerves is a very short and sobering experience. It’s not my first…
