I always feel really bad when I read a book everyone likes and I just can’t bring myself to enjoy it. Like actually I feel really bad. Everyone has these kinds of books, books that are just so popular and beloved, but for someone reason you yourself cannot enjoy this. Today I will share several …
“A thousand electric cars could run on how you feel when you know that the person you like likes you back. It feels incredible. Like it shouldn’t be possible. Of all the happy coincidences to ever exist, it’s one of the happiest.” I’ve been in a small reading slump for the past week since i …
“They celebrate love as though it’s power, even though it has killed far more humans than I ever have.” This book wasn’t incredible, but it was a pretty good read overall. Going into this, I had no idea that it was a The Little Mermaid retelling, but I can definitely see the rough outline of …
This list will change and be updated frequently throughout the year. I’ll include my ratings for these releases once I read them. January: Everless by Sara Hollan (2/5 stars) Thunderhead (Scythe #2) (3/5 stars) The Cruel Prince by Holly Black (1/5 stars) February: The Belles by Dhonielle Clayton (4/5 stars) March: Children of Blood …
“People are who they are and, try as you might, you cannot make them be what you want them to be.” This was one of those books I picked up on a whim. I didn’t know anything about this book besides the many people who have read it really enjoyed it. I decided to pick …
This book was actually a surprise. I wasn’t expecting to enjoy this book as much as I did. It definitely was nowhere near perfect, but it still was an enjoyable read.

I didn’t include a quote in this review because most of them sounded awful. Already, you can probably tell I really hated this book. I don’t understand why so many people enjoy this book so much besides its entertainment value (even though I don’t think this is remotely interesting). If I could give a book …
*Warning: Major spoilers ahead “Lionel said as much to me once, how so many of the same people who are quick to empathize with physical disabilities don’t understand why someone with depression can’t just get up and get on with their day like the rest of the world. It’s like they need a receipt that …
“I think what I’ve realized is, life is all about climbing up, slipping down, and picking yourself up again. And it doesn’t matter if you slip down. As long as you’re kind of heading more or less upwards. That’s all you can hope for. More or less upwards.” This was one of those books where …
“I’m forever observing, trying to learn how to be an adult human being by watching others, and I’m constantly in awe of how easy some people make it look.” I didn’t exactly hate this book, but I didn’t love it either. I love the geeky and dorky characters and how it completely revolves around modern-day …
