Review: A Psalm for the Wild-built
Never have it ever read such a cozy sci-fi book! Some folks in book club said A Psalm for the Wild-built by Becky Chambers felt like a warm hug, and others said it was similar to the feels you get watching a Pixar movie. I agree with both sentiments!
Continue readingReview: Klara and the Sun
This might be an unpopular opinion, but I did not like this book. Before we get too deep into this review, I will say, I fully respect and understand what Kazuo Ishiguro was doing with Klara and the Sun, but it was not for me. At all.
Continue readingReview: Nightbitch
Friends, I don’t even know where to start with this one. When I originally saw the cover and read the synopsis for Nightbitch by Rachel Yoder, I was so excited. It sounded so fucked up and weird I just had to have it! Well, it took me over a week to get through, and that’s even with skimming the last 20 or so pages.

When I first saw XOXO by Axie Oh at the Harper Collins Canada Frenzy Presents: spring/summer preview, I immediately knew I had to read it; it looked so fun!

A YA thriller perfect for fans of Karen McManus? As soon as I saw the marketing promo for this book, I knew I needed it. Unfortunately, I didn’t enjoy it as much as I thought I would.

*screams into the abyss*
Does that count as an Official Review™️? Because if not I don’t really know what else to say😅 The Last House on Needless Street by Catriona Ward went above and beyond all of my expectations.
Continue readingReview: The Initial Insult
What’s the last book that made you stop and think, “what the actual hell am I reading?” Because that’s exactly what The Initial Insult by Mindy McGinnis did to me! I’ve never read anything by McGinnis before and wasn’t sure what to expect, but it sure as hell wasn’t whatever I just finished reading.
Continue readingReview: House of Hollow
Every time I go for a hike and see a small trail leading off into the woods, I immediately want to follow it. Where does it lead? What will I find? My imagination begins to run wild, and I dream up scenarios where I end up in a magical word full of elves and magic. After reading House of Hollow by Krystal Sutherland, those daydreams have taken a turn😱
