Hai Beautiful! I love a good coming-of-age novel! This was the most fun I’ve had reading a young adult contemporary in a long time. It was raw with feeling, emotion and youthful ignorance. Every young woman can learn from this novel and everyone who’s lived this can laugh and enjoy the experience. Goodreads Summary When her parents announce their impending divorce, Natalie can’t understand why no one is fighting, or at least mildly upset. Then Zach and Lucy, her two […]

Hai Beautiful! Not exactly what I was expecting… I picked this book up specifically to fulfil the WLW Romance novel prompt for the Bratz Readathon which is running all of September!

Goodreads Summary We watch the bird as it flies high above us, singing like it’s the only thing in the world that matters. And I feel it – that life can be […]
Continue ReadingChief by John Lyttle III | Spoiler-Free Novella Review

The premise was so intriguing that I just had to check it out plus it was a very short and quick read.

Disclaimer: I was sent this book (unsolicited) by Bloomsbury, prior to its release, in exchange for an honest review. Hai Beautiful! I really didn’t want to like this book… This novel started off in a way that made me immediately not want to like our main characters, but I did. I liked this book! Blurb: When his dad is caught embezzling funds from half the town, Rob goes from popular lacrosse player to social pariah. Even worse, his father’s failed […]

Hai Beautiful! This book is queer and I’M HERE FOR IT! So I actually read the blurb for this novel but it was for a video so I didn’t go in completely blind, but I didn’t know anything else about it. Blurb: Vetty’s family is moving back to London, and all she can think about is seeing Pez again. They were inseparable when they were small – roaming the city in the long summers, sharing everything. But everyone’s telling her […]
Continue ReadingGhosts of The Shadow Market by Cassandra Clare | Spoiler Free Book Review
Hai Beautiful Hoomans! Did I finish this book or did it finish me? I didn’t think the ending of this novel would hit me as it did. All I’m saying is that I am so glad the next series goes back in time because I am far too fragile to deal with my faves being in pain again. Goodreads Blurb: The Shadow Market is a meeting point for faeries, werewolves, warlocks and vampires. There the Downworlders buy and sell magical […]

Continue ReadingDark Blade by Steve Feasey | Spoiler Free Book Review
Disclaimer: I received an advanced copy of this novel from Bloomsbury publishing prior to the July 11th (UK)/ August 15th (ANZ) release. Heyo Bookaholics! The perfect new middle-grade obsession! Dark Blade by Steve Feasey is a well-executed, quick read of a novel, and although flawed, I find that many middle-grade novels are in order to keep the story moving and the reader engaged. Perfect for fans of the Harry Potter and Percy Jackson series. I would 100% recommend this novel […]
