If I Never Met You by Mhairi McFarlane Book Review
I’ve been wanting to read more of Mhairi McFarlane’s books after loving ‘Just Last Night’. When I saw that she’d written this book, a fake-dating romance, (one of my favorite tropes) I picked it up straight away. This book was just the right read to pull me out of my reading slump. Here’s my review…

Book Review: Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
Illuminae is the most unique book I’ve ever read in my life. A collective effort of thoughtful graphic design, excellent writing and an insane, immersive format makes this book a must-read. Even though there are a lot of mixed opinions on this book, the formatting alone makes it at least worth a try. The story…

Book Review of The Stranger by Albert Camus
Classics aren’t popular with most people. We associate them with dull English assignments, a complaining class and words too big to understand. However, when we CHOOSE to read them ourselves, it’s like our eyes open. Or, at least, that is what happened to me. Here is my book review and musings on The Stranger by…

Book Review: The Forest of Dreams and Whispers
There is something about the “playfully antagonistic but secretly love each other” trope that I love. I’m not sure what it is about it, but I can’t get enough – especially when the story is set in Faerie. Thank you to “Cari can Read” for recommending this book through her Youtube. Here is my book…

Book Review: Just Last Night by Mhairi McFarlane
I first heard about this book by stalking Emily Henry’s book reviews (I mean, who doesn’t stalk the recommendations of their favorite authors?) and saw she gave this book 5 stars and a glowing review. I have heard of Mhairi McFarlane before, too, and saw how she was showered with praise. The only thing I…

Book Review: A Harmonious Cycle in The Bronzed Beasts
5 GLOWING STARS. I just finished the Bronzed Beasts by Roshani Chokshi, and I am in AWE. This book captured the ethereal feeling of seeing the divine, something we will never understand; it filled me with sadness and grief; it carried me to the peaks of happiness and gave me the ultimate feeling of satisfaction.…

Book Review: “The Housemaid is Watching” by Freida McFradden
I’ve read the first two Housemaid books and really enjoyed them. I kept an eye out for the third one, and when it came out, I bought it immediately. The Housemaid series is always an addictive roller-coaster of twists and turns. It’s light, easy to read and deliciously dark. My rating: 4 stars Plot Overview…
