Ghosts of The Shadow Market by Cassandra Clare | Spoiler Free Book Review

March 24, 2020

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 […]

March 17, 2020

Hello Beautiful Hoomans. A novel that lives up to its name! A ‘lil note: I read Euphoria Kids immediately after I finished Wintergirls and let me say, the positive feelings that reading this book gave me was enough to kill off any horrible/ negative thoughts that the previous novel brought back. Blurb: Ever since the witch cursed Babs, she turns invisible sometimes. She has her mum and her dog, but teachers and classmates barely notice her. Then, one day, Iris […]

Why I Did Not Finish Wearing Paper Dresses by Anne Brinsden 2020 Blog Header - Why I DNFd Wearing Paper Dresses (by Anne Brinsden) - Kind of, but not really a review

Disclaimer: the fact that This novel was sent to me by Bloomsbury publishing does not impact my review/ post/ opinion in any way shape or form. Heyo Bookaholics! Kind of, but not really a review… The cover of this novel is gorgeous! The story sounds interesting and thrilling. I love reading Aussie fiction, especially those set in the bush and from the perspective of people who’ve lived in the outback. Although, the writing style of this novel, perspective and speed […]

City of Bones by Cassandra Clare | Re-read Book Review

December 10, 2019

Heyo Bookaholics! This took me a while… So I re-read the book that began my Shadowhunter obsession all those years ago in High School. Blurb When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder― much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It’s hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible […]

Frankly In Love by David Yoon | Spoilery Book Review

November 11, 2019

Heyo Bookaholics! Fake-dating tropes are cool… When done well… This book is the reason I don’t particularly like the fake-dating trope. Blurb High school senior Frank Li is a Limbo–his term for Korean-American kids who find themselves caught between their parents’ traditional expectations and their own Southern California upbringing. His parents have one rule when it comes to romance–“Date Korean”–which proves complicated when Frank falls for Brit Means, who is smart, beautiful–and white. Fellow Limbo Joy Song is in a […]

What The Woods Keep by Katya De Becerra | Spoiler-Free Review

October 29, 2019

Heyo Bookaholics! The Perfect Amount of Spook! From the moment I started this novel, I knew it was going to be spectacular. For an author to captivate a reader within the first page and establish the voice of the main character so early on in the novel is amazing and something I absolutely live for. Blurb On her eighteenth birthday, Hayden inherits her childhood home—on the condition that she uncover its dark secrets. Hayden tried to put the past behind […]
