No matter how much older I get or how much more I seem to need to "adult," YA always has my heart. The characters are well developed, the world-building is usually very well done, and young people tend to emote and feel things in a way that adults just aren't allowed to do (or feel … Continue reading Book Review: Where It All Lands
Okay, so this hiatus of mine was unexpected and very long—but I'm back and catching up on the books I promised to review for the year. This isn't the first time I've mentioned that I have a fascination with space and space travel, so any fiction about people living on Mars, training to be astronauts, … Continue reading Book Review: How To Mars
I am a huge Disney fan, but I've never been all that interested in Cruella DeVil or the 101 Dalmatians movie(s). I'm not a big animal person (except for my pupper, of course), and I think the premise scared me as a child, so I never really returned to the film. I have seen the … Continue reading Book Review: Hello, Cruel Heart
This isn't the first time I've mentioned this, but I really love anything having to do with space travel. I think being an astronaut would be the most fascinating job in the world, and I would love to see the world from their point of view. That's why I was so drawn to the cover … Continue reading Book Review: In The Quick
Beth Corby's debut novel Where There's A Will was one of my favourite reads from 2019. It was unexpected, heart-warming, and took us on an amazing adventure. When I saw her follow-up story, Leave It To Fate (in stores February 4) was coming soon, I knew I had to read it. I was ready to … Continue reading Book Review: Leave It To Fate
Some people who know me might be surprised to know that I've always wanted to go to Comic Con. My friend and I talked about going one year, but it's quite the trek to get from Toronto to San Diego, so we've never been able to get there. I wouldn't call myself strictly part of … Continue reading Book Review: Be Dazzled
The world is a crazy place right now, and I'm so happy to have my husband, my dog and my baby boy in insolation with me...as well as books, of course. I highly recommend the whole world just hole up with a book as long as we possibly can to flatten the curve on this … Continue reading Book Review: Meet Me at Midnight
Bookstagram's favourite writing duo, Christina Lauren, has another book coming out this month (March 24—yay!) and I was very lucky to receive yet another advanced copy to review before it was released to the masses. It was just a few months ago that they released Twice in a Blue Moon, which, admittedly, was not my … Continue reading Book Review: The Honey-Don’t List
It's been over a month since I've posted any reviews. I haven't had much time to read since my son was born, so you know it had to take a really good book to tear me away from my newborn—or from getting some extra sleep, since I only seem to get two-hour stretches of it … Continue reading Book Review: In Five Years
I'm a bit of a cliché. I have always wanted to be an astronaut. Ever since I went to the Ontario Science Centre in grade 5 and did a mission to Mars simulation with my class, I've been fascinated by it. Not only is space itself so incomprehensible to my brain, but the possibility that … Continue reading Book Review: The Gravity of Us
