Dear THE FALCONER by Dana Czapnik: you were an excellent birthday present (even though you made me cry)
Dear The Falconer by Dana Czapnik: When I first finished reading you, one of the first thoughts that popped into my mind was: I don’t know if I can share my thoughts about this one on the blog. My connection to you became more and more personal as you progress and I didn’t know if Continue reading

I finally did it! I finished the Lara Jean trilogy by Jenny Han! It’s been quite a while since I finished a series, and I credit audiobooks with this recent development of mine.

How do I even begin this review of John Green’s long-awaited novel Turtles All the Way Down? If ever a book was at risk to be threatened by high expectations and hype, then this would certainly be the one.

Months ago I won a copy of An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir in an online giveaway. After enduring its impatient glare from my bookshelf for as long as I could, I finally picked it up and gave it the attention that all of the buzz surrounding it suggests it deserves. Unfortunately, this Continue reading
