Books, Reading, and everything in between
After reading The Haunting of Tram Car 015 last year, I was hooked to the alternate Cairo P Djeli Clark created. And when I heard he was going to be 1) releasing his first full-length novel 2) it was set in his alternate Cairo, I knew I had to read it. And thankfully this book [...]
I'm going to start off by saying that I don't normally read historical fiction. However, when it's a historical fiction that 1) takes place on the Titanic 2) brings in an under-represented group that wouldn't normally be on the Titanic, then I need to investigate. And much like Valora Luck, I got lucky with this [...]
Tomorrow, Realm Breaker will be out in the world for everyone to read! Gah, it's always so exciting to be writing a review for a book months in advance. I feel like it's been forever since I read an up-and-coming novel that has a lot of highly-anticipated readers with a huge dedicated following from her [...]
I've been finding a lot of fairy tale retellings lately. Perhaps it's just a trend in the reading world or maybe it's just entirely coincidence. But either way, I'm here for all of it. Here's More About Malice Once upon a time, there was a wicked fairy who, in an act of vengeance, cursed a [...]
I had a lot of high hopes for this one especially since I really loved The City in the Middle of the Night by Charlie Jane Anders. It's her first foray into sci-fi and while it definitely carried those themes, it hit the mark for me. Here's More About Victories Greater Than Death Outsmart Your [...]
Do you ever judge a book by its cover? I will admit, I'm a culprit of this and I most definitely judged Martha Wells' All Systems Red a little too hastily. It had a giant robot guy on the cover and didn't really convey the mood of the story. But once you get into it, [...]
I was pleasantly surprised with this one. I really liked Nina Hill and expected a similar story for this one, but a mother/daughter growth story worked and really made me happy to read. Here's more about I Was Told It Would Get Easier Squashed among a bus full of strangers, mother-daughter duo Jessica and Emily [...]
I'm so glad I decided to pick this one up because it was a mix of a J Lo rom-com, Kevin Kwan's Crazy Rich Asians opulence, and Weekend at Bernie's. It definitely left me with a smile on my face and also missing my family a little bit. Here's more about Dial A for Aunties [...]
I was really excited to read this one especially since historical fantasy is a sub-genre I'm really into lately. But what I read felt more like a historical fiction with a touch of fantasy. It may be perfect for those who love alternate history or a historical fiction that takes place during the late 19th [...]
Well, I didn't think I would completely fall in love with this book like I did. I've been following Abby Jimenez since she released her debut novel, The Friend Zone, only a few short years ago. Now she's on her third book and thriving with a story about young Vanessa who's motto in life is [...]
