Re-review: Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi

You know, I feel like I should re-read books more often - it's funny to go back and read my old reviews on Goodreads. Maybe I'll make this an actual series - this summer would give me a great opportunity to do so! Would people be interested in that? Anyways, here's my re-review of Unravel… Continue reading Re-review: Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi

Re-Review: Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi

I'm sure some of you can agree with me with I saw re-reading books is such a trip! Especially books that you've medium reviewed on goodreads, and you go back and see what you wrote and cringe (a lot). That was my experience with the Shatter Me series. Don't get me wrong, I did ultimately… Continue reading Re-Review: Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi

Review: Chalice by Robin McKinley

This month I've found myself going through a ton of re-reads. I finally recharged my Kobo that I used frequently about 5 or 6 years ago and I discovered that I actually have a lot of books on there. One such book being Chalice by Robin McKinley. Now when I first read this (say 6… Continue reading Review: Chalice by Robin McKinley

Review: All The Crooked Saints by Maggie Stiefvater

Hello! If you follow me on Instagram, then you'll know that I've recently finished Maggie Stiefvater's new book All The Crooked Saints.

Review: The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

Hello and Welcome back!

Review: The Language of Thorns by Leigh Bardugo

Happy New Year's Eve! This year has been full of ups and downs, and unfortunately for me it was mostly downs. But! That doesn't mean that there wasn't some ups as well! I became a reviewer for Simon & Schuster Canada, which is a dream come true; I completed my reading goal and even read… Continue reading Review: The Language of Thorns by Leigh Bardugo

Can we talk about Crooked Kingdom for a minute?

Ok so I meant to post this about a month ago but apparently my computer didn’t save what I had written (which is so sad because I had basically written another novel about how much I love this novel). But that might be a good thing because now I’ll only take maybe 1000000 words? (I… Continue reading Can we talk about Crooked Kingdom for a minute?

*Thank you to Simon & Schuster Canada for providing me with an ARC for this book!* With summer drawing to a close and exam dates looming, my reading has kind of slowed down a little bit.

Review: A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway

I find that whenever I revisit authors that I read in high school, I get a very different feel and view of the book. For Hemingway, that didn’t really change. I read An Old Man and The Sea in grade 11 or 12, and I remember thinking ‘wow, this guy doesn’t really care about punctuation’.… Continue reading Review: A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway
