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.

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.
