Rating: 9/10 Genre: Dystopian Fiction Spoiler Warning for The Hunger Games Triolgy and The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes This book was a wild ride. The plot itself was actually so unexpected. Because of what we already see about the Quarter Quell, I thought I knew the rough outline of the plot. I did not,Continue reading “Book Review: Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins”

Book Review: Queen B by Juno Dawson
Rating: 9/10 So, this was fantastic. I am in awe. It’s a little slow in the beginning, I’ll admit. The thing about it though, that really makes it stand out, is how women-centered it is. It’s not just that all the female characters are incredibly complex – it is that the story, essentially, is aboutContinue reading “Book Review: Queen B by Juno Dawson”
Book Review: A Lesson in Vengeance
Rating: 9/10 (Beautiful, but not my genre, and I suspect I am going to have nightmares.) I still can’t tell who pushed who to what point, or who is the true villain. This book is deliciously complex, delving into human psychology in a fascinating way. The narrator is incredibly unreliable— not only is her judgementContinue reading “Book Review: A Lesson in Vengeance”
Book Review: Medici Heist by Caitlin Schneiderhan
Rating: 10/10 From the beginning of the book, it’s clear that none of the main characters are saints, but in the world of 16th century Florence, thieves are far from the worst the city has to offer. For Sara and Rosa, grifting is the family business. For Dominic, conning is survival, and Khalid’s involvement inContinue reading “Book Review: Medici Heist by Caitlin Schneiderhan”
Book Review: A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik
Rating: 9.5/10 This book would have gotten a 10, but it turns out it’s part of a series. I am extremely annoyed about this. I was satisfied with the ending! It worked perfectly well as a stand-alone damn it! Now I’m stressed out about what’s going to happen next! Still, this book is amazing. NowContinue reading “Book Review: A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik”
Book Review: Small Favors by Erin A. Craig
Rating: 10/10 Favorite Character: Ellerie Downing (the main character, making this a super basic choice tbh) So I have to start by saying that this is the second Erin A. Craig book I’ve read, and the one that has truly made her one of my favorite authors (admittedly, I have a lot of favorite others,Continue reading “Book Review: Small Favors by Erin A. Craig”
Book Review: Bringing Down the Duke by Evie Dunmore
Rating: 9.25/10 This book was amazing! Feminism, politics, romance, nobility, and history- what more could I ask for! This book is full of strong female characters who support each other. It definitely passes the Bechtel test. All the characters are intricate and fascinating. The relationships between all of them are fascinating. This book looks atContinue reading “Book Review: Bringing Down the Duke by Evie Dunmore”
Book Review: Here the Whole Time by Vitor Martins
Rating: 7.75/10 This book was honestly pretty sweet. I didn’t find it to be, like, out of this world spectacular, but it was pretty good. A story about a boy with body weight issues and a crush on his neighbor, Felix’s journey to self-acceptance is realistic and relatable. The book includes a beautiful mother-son relationship,Continue reading “Book Review: Here the Whole Time by Vitor Martins”
Book Review: The Viscount Who Loved Me by Julia Quinn
A beautiful love story; strictly a romance, so not for the overly pretentious. Rating: 9/10 Honestly, I loved this book. I just tore through the Bridgerton series. It’s a great way to escape reality. It’s a really fun novel. While Julia Quinn makes each Bridgerton the center of a novel, half the characters are fromContinue reading “Book Review: The Viscount Who Loved Me by Julia Quinn”
Book Review: The Ivies by Alexa Donne
Rating: 8.5/10 Honestly, this book reminded me a little too much of my school. It’s pretty much an exaggeration of uber-competitive crazy town high schools. It’s a story about the Ivies, a clique of girls who work together to get into their Ivy- taking down their competition. What would you do to make your dreamsContinue reading “Book Review: The Ivies by Alexa Donne”
