I absolutely loved reading the Heartstopper series by Alice Oseman. This was such a beautiful story about two boys, Nick and Charlie. One has already come out as gay and the other is on a journey of self discovery trying to understand and accept his sexual orientation. It brings me so much joy to see… Continue reading The Heartstopper series by Alice Oseman: Volumes 1 to 4 (SPOILER FREE)
I must say I was quite disappointed with this one. I went in with high expectations and was not satisfied with what we were given. I truly believe Suzanne went in the complete opposite direction to what her readers would have wanted from this book especially knowing the plot. This book had promise and was… Continue reading The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins (SPOILER FREE)
There are quite a few books on my TBR list for 2021. I’ve made a short list of those I’m most excited about but trust me, there are wayyyyyyy more than what you see. If I’d list them for you now we’d be here all year hehe. So let’s stick with five to start with.… Continue reading What are some books you’re anticipating to get into this year?
I wanted to like this poetry book written by Margaret Atwood. I really did. She’s the author of Handmaid’s Tale. It’s got to be good, right? I guess I’ve got the controversial opinion here because I didn’t think so. I’ve got to say I was pretty disappointed with this one. The poems felt super out of… Continue reading Dearly by Margaret Atwood (SPOILER FREE)
This collection, You Are Your Own Fairytale, was definitely a step up in comparison to Amanda Lovelace’s other poetry series. It was a lovely surprise to have the addition of illustrations and to read these books filled with advice from our very own fairy godmothers and big sisters. While these books were written with a… Continue reading Amanda Lovelace’s You Are Your Own Fairytale Collection: Books 1 and 2 (SPOILER FREE)
The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom is such a little treasure. I read this book for the first time back in high-school. It’s been such a joy to read it again as an adult. It really made me ponder on many lessons I wish to invite into my own life. Gratitude… Continue reading The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom (SPOILER FREE)
I thought Cunt by Inga Muscio was going to be about reclaiming the word, Cunt, in a badass way. Wow was I wrong. It seems Inga is the type of feminist who has quite an intense perspective when it comes to men. Throughout the book she would use an aggressive tone to attack men which… Continue reading Cunt by Inga Muscio (SPOILER REVIEW)
I’m going to be honest and say I really disliked this poetry collection. I thought the poems could have been much grander following such a great concept as this one. I’m disappointed in regards to the lazy writing and lack of poetic devices yet mainly towards how this series even got so much popularity! Am… Continue reading Amanda Lovelace’s Women Are Some Kind of Magic Poetry Collection: Books 2 and 3 (SPOILER FREE)
This series will be one I remember for a lifetime. Incredibly haunting, chilling and dark. While this book, Mockingjay, was my least favourite of the three and had quite a few issues, I think it was a great way to end the story as a whole. That ending. Oh my god. Still upset about it.… Continue reading Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins (SPOILER FREE)
Catching Fire is hands down my favourite of the trilogy so far! And the title, Catching Fire… OOFT !!! Need I say more. This series is incredible and I’m so pumped to finally be on this journey. I was certainly late to the party but it’s better to start later than never, am I right?… Continue reading Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins (SPOILER FREE)
