The Quiet At The End Of The World by Lauren James | Spoiler Free Book Review/ Chat

August 24, 2020

Hai Beautiful! I strangely love reading about end-of-the-world-style novels! I like the idea of pondering what might happen when the time does come. I love to hear the thoughts/ feelings of the characters as they experience the event, learning that they truly are the only ones left. Breaking free of the lies they’ve been brought up to believe and just facing the fact that everything might one day die, decay, fall apart and eventually cease to exist. How far would […]

Loveless by Alice Oseman | Spoiler Free Book Review

August 11, 2020August 11, 2020

Hai Beautiful! I love Alice Oseman’s writing! I’ve been following Alice Oseman on Instagram and Twitter for years and as soon as I heard about Loveless, especially that it centres around an aro-ace protagonist, I knew I had to pick it up. I’ve never read a book about an aro-ace character and I have been so conditioned to expect a romance in just about every novel I pick up, it’s refreshing to know that this one will have a different […]

August 4, 2020

Hai Beautiful! This one was special! I was sent this book by Sara (@scientificstars/ scientificstars.com) when we did an annotated book swap a while back and I have finally gotten around to reading it. Because of this, I filmed an entire reading vlog for this novel which will be posted on Saturday Aug. 8th! Blurb Seventeen-year-old Alice and her mother have spent most of Alice’s life on the road, always a step ahead of the uncanny bad luck biting at their heels. But when […]

Call It What You Want by Brigid Kemmerer | Spoiler-Free Book Review

July 28, 2020

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 […]

Radio Silence by Alice Oseman | Spoiler-ish Book Review

July 16, 2020July 16, 2020

Hai Beautiful! ♡♡♡ If there is anything I’ve gathered from reading every Alice Oseman novel to date, it is that she writes from a point of passion. Her novels are always about saving someone and rarely about romantic love. That’s what makes them perfect. Blurb: What if everything you set yourself up to be was wrong? Frances has been a study machine with one goal. Nothing will stand in her way; not friends, not a guilty secret – not even […]

Aurora Burning by Amy Kaufman & Jay Kristoff | Spoilery Book Review

June 29, 2020

Hai Beautiful! This one fell slightly short… I’m not gonna lie, I will purchase and read anything written by Amie or Jay either individually or as a collaborative duo. So even though Aurora Rising, didn’t live up to my expectations set by the Illuminae Files, there was something unique and carefree to the story that I loved it all the same. Blurb: Our heroes are back… kind of. From the bestselling co-authors of the Illuminae Files comes the second book in […]

Specular by L.K. Brooks-Simpsons | Spoilery Book Review

June 15, 2020

I was kindly sent an ebook copy of this novel courtesy of @bed.and.books & @inspiredpress in exchange for an honest review. Hai Beautiful! Something a little different today 🙂 Introducing the first hero in the IXI Comics series: Specular! The newest and probably most original superhero to have been introduced in the modern age. BLURB: This novel is of the fantasy/superhero fiction genre and tackles some important implications of mental health and Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). Imagine being afraid to […]

Hai Beautiful! The Queen of YA stand-alone fantasy strikes again! Astrid has gone and delivered us another wonderful stand-alone fantasy. This time we’re transported to a post-apocalyptic world in which capitalism rules all and two sisters fight everything to keep their family together. Blurb: Seventeen-year-old Tempe was born into a world of water.

SWORD IN THE STARS by Amy Rose Capetta and Cory McCarthy Spoiler Free Book Review 2020 Header - SWORD IN THE STARS by Amy Rose Capetta & Cory McCarthy | Spoiler-Free Book Review

Hai Beautiful! The stunning sequel to my favourite book of all-time! Aghfkdgildh!!! I don’t know what to say. The equal that I have waited almost an entire year for has finally reached me and it is the best thing to ever have been created. I may say things like this occasionally about some books but this one. This one is the best in every single way it can be, but most importantly, it retold a classic story the right way and ended […]

Chain Of Gold by Cassandra Clare | SPOILER FREE Book Review

April 27, 2020April 28, 2020

Hai Beautiful! My poor heart can’t take this anymore! This book equal parts invokes a stress response within my body and brings me great joy whenever I think about it. I am so so in love with Cassandra Clare’s writing and the fact that it can ignite all of these emotions and passions within me at the thought of her work is just testament to how brilliant she is at her craft. Blurb: Welcome to Edwardian London, a time of […]
