The Silverblood Promise Review
Picking up this book on a whim and buying it because of the breathtaking cover was a decision I didn’t know I’d come to love until a year later, when I finally decided to read it. The Silverblood Promise quickly became a fantasy book that stood out to me, and one I know I’d love…

Children of Anguish and Anarchy Review
Children of Anguish and Anarchy by Tomi Adeyemi was my most anticipated book release of 2024, as for many fans of the series. I patiently waited three years for this book to be released, counting down the days to June 25th, 2024. Imagine my disappointment when I realized that this book isn’t all that it’s…

Project Hail Mary Review
While I went into the book thinking that it would be similar to The Martian and debating if it was worth it to read. Once my mother and friends finally convinced me to read it, I finished the novel glad I chose to go on the adventure out in space with Ryland Grace. “We’re as…

Eight Perfect Murders Review
I got this book from a ‘Blind Date with a Book’ (where you buy a book completely wrapped in brown paper, with the book chosen solely based on the short description written on the front of the paper) that I purchased a few months ago. I bought it as I haven’t read a mystery novel…

Legends and Lattes Review
I’ve been wanting to read this book for a while, due to the slew of positive reviews I’ve heard, but I never went through with actually buying the novel. When I was walking past my father’s desk one day and saw Legends and Lattes staring back at me, I knew it was calling my name.…

The Spear Cuts Through Water Review
I actually picked up this book many months ago and immediately dropped it. A few weeks ago, I decided to give it another try. I am so happy that I completed it, as this story has come to be unforgettable. “And the longer I live, the more it surprises me, and saddens me, how wise…

Last Night at the Telegraph Club Review
While I don’t usually read historical fiction or romance, I found Last Night at the Telegraph Club to be an authentic coming-of-age story, with a tender sapphic relationship. “The word felt dangerous, and also powerful, as if uttering it would summon someone or something.” Premise of the book: Lily Hu, a Chinese American who lives…
