#BookReview: THE SUPERVILLAIN AND ME by Danielle Banas

Superheroes have been having an amazing decade. With Marvel delivering incredible movie after movie, and DC entertaining me every week with shows like Arrow and The Flash, nerds really are having their moment. (I won’t talk about DC movies. Blegh.) So why not have more superhero movies? I’m definitely down for it, which is why I was excited to get a copy of The Supervillain and Me, Danielle Banas’ debut novel. I really liked the idea of superheroes being fairly common and with better and worse abilities. (Lol at Fish Boy.) Seeing them be normal people as well, with families and everyday responsibilities, […]

#BookReview + #Giveaway: KISS OF THE ROYAL by Lindsey Duga

I had high hopes for this book based on the blurb (and the cover, to be honest). At first, I started to think that maybe my hopes were a bit too high, as while I liked the material being covered in the first few chapters, it felt a bit dry and info-dumpy. Plus, I was struggling to connect with Ivy and the other Royals. But that slowly started to change when Zach showed up. Possibly my favourite thing about this book, he was not at all what I expected him to be. I suppose I was expecting a cocky type […]

#BookReview + #Giveaway: CHEMISTRY LESSONS by Meredith Goldstein

This is a book about a breakup, essentially. Maya has just finished high school and is preparing to go to college in a few months when her boyfriend, a year older and a college freshman, breaks up with her out of nowhere, citing that he loves her but he’s starting to feel things for a friend, and he wants to explore those feelings. What comes after is Maya’s attempt to understand and reverse the breakup through something she’s exceptionally good at: science. I know people are going get annoyed with Maya’s reaction to the breakup. Yeah, her actions are a […]

#BookReview: EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN by Jessica Redmerski

This book is over 600 pages. You’re probably wondering why you want to read something so huge. Let me give you some reasons. First of all, the book is divided into three parts, so you could mentally think of it as three books if you wanted. This makes the page count a bit easier to stomach, if big books do intimidate you. (And I’ll admit, with so many books on my TBR, I only occasionally read books over 400 pages.) The stage was set quite well, starting with Thais’ POV, giving us the backstory for how this dystopian tale came […]

#BookReview + #Excerpt + #Giveaway: WHERE THE SEA TAKES ME by Heidi R. Kling!

And we’re back with Sienna and Deni! I read Where I Found You about six months ago, and it hit a bittersweet spot in my heart. Centred around a girl who goes to Indonesia following the 2004 earthquake and tsunamis that devastated many countries and people’s lives, it made me remember what it was like to be so close (the Philippines) and to lose a classmate and his family to a wave. I gave the book 4.5 stars because of its emotional impact on me, and I was excited to find out a sequel was coming, set in Cambodia in 2007. […]

#BookReview: JUST ONE OF THE ROYALS by Leah and Kate Rooper

There were four big reasons I had to read this book. Four things I love separately that came together to form a book I could not resist, despite having a TBR already heaving for June. (No seriously, there are 23 more books I need to read and review this month because I’m cray cray.) But anyway, what tropes lit up in my Must Have It brain centres as I read the blurb? Ice hockey romance Friendship to romance Secret royal expected to take the throne, a la The Princess Diaries 1 & 2 Fake relationship Sign. Me. Up. As the […]

#BookReview: BRING ME THEIR HEARTS by Sara Wolf

I tried looking for the perfect gif to show you my expression, but alas, I could not find one that showed my smirk all through reading. You know the kind, where just one side of your mouth curls up, as if you know something juicy? Actually, just look at the face of the girl on the cover. That’s exactly how I looked while reading. You see, Sara Wolf is excellent at banter, and it makes her books so much fun to read. In a departure from Sara’s previous YA/NA contemporary work, Bring Me Their Hearts is a YA fantasy that […]
