So… I’m still finding books from long ago that I’ve not read because I was looking through my bookshelves and came across this edition of The Maze Runner! It’s probably a gift edition or a collector’s edition, given that it’s hardcover in a slipcase, but sadly it’s already slightly foxed. Anyway, on to the story!… Read More Book Review: The Maze Runner by James Dashner
I was randomly looking at my Goodreads To Read shelf, arguably my most neglected TBR list, and I decided to pick up the latest addition on the shelf: The Agathas. I like Christie and I was in the mood for something fun. In the Agathas, former popular-girl Alice teams up with her socially invisible tutor… Read More Book Review: The Agathas by Kathleen Glasgow and Liz Lawson
I’m pretty sure I heard about The Project by one of you wonderful book bloggers, but I’ve forgotten who. But I do remember why I picked this up – firstly, it’s by Courtney Summers and I really enjoyed Sadie, another book by her. Secondly, The Project is about a cult and honestly, there’s something about… Read More Book Review: The Project by Courtney Summers
You may remember that I read The Gate of Sorrows and reread Brave Story recently and absolutely loved it. Well, a friend happened to own a copy of The Book of Heroes, the prequel to The Gate of Sorrows, and she lent it to me so I could decide if I was getting both books… Read More Book Review: The Book of Heroes by Miyuki Miyabe
I stumbled across this in Habourfront Library last year but never really felt like it was time to read it (yes, I am a mood reader) until now! Although this was written in 2016, it happened to be a very timely read with an interesting world! The Glass Sentence starts with a legislative proposal: since… Read More Book Review: The Glass Sentence by S.E. Grove
I’m back with my re-read of the Percy Jackson series! According to Goodreads, I’ve actually read all five books in the Percy Jackson and the Olympian series, but I’m enjoying the re-read so I’ll probably just continue on. This second book in the series starts with Percy having a pretty good year. Sure, he doesn’t… Read More The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan
I’ve always had a fond place in my reading heart for Percy Jackson, mostly because this was the book that I saw in a bookstore, read a few pages, and then promptly forgot the title and author (and only remembered the tagline) and almost went crazy trying to find the book. So when I saw… Read More The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
There’s a Wonderland exhibition going on right now, so obviously I’ve got to read something Alice-related while waiting for my friend to finish Alice in Wonderland so we can visit. Ever Alice sounded like it was right up my alley, so I was really excited to read it. As you can expect, Alice’s tales of… Read More Ever Alice by H.J. Ramsay
I’m not sure where I heard of this book but I remember why I wanted to read it: Marcelo has a cognitive disorder, which resembles Asperger’s syndrome. Since my brother is on the autism spectrum, I wanted to read more books which had characters that represent him. Marcelo has a pretty comfortable life at the… Read More Marcelo in the Real World by Francisco X. Stork
I heard about this book from The Orangutan Librarian’s Monthly Monkey Mini Review, and it intrigued me enough that I hunted down a copy. And I have got to say, this book broke my heart so many times. I made the mistake of reading it in the mrt and I ended up tearing up for most… Read More A List of Cages by Robin Roe
