Why did someone tell me I’d hate this?

Radio Silence by Alice Oseman

February 15, 2024 by Bibliophile 1 Comment

I was quite worried when starting this book because Alice Oseman is primarily known for romance (especially the Heartstopper series), and I’m not a fan of romance books. Also, my brother loves this book and Oseman’s work in general, and when I told him I was going to read this, he told me that I would hate it, but I still read it because it fit the bingo category perfectly (and then forgot to review it for bingo). Radio Silence is the story of Frances […]

Gotta let it burn

So Let Them Burn by Kamilah Cole

February 14, 2024 by Jen K 1 Comment

With Cait Corrain back in the news, figured it was really time for me to write this review already! For those less terminally online, our story didn’t start in December but that is when it become a scandal and Booktwitter found out that a debut author scheduled for a 2024 release with some decent positive buzz had been review bombing fellow 2024 YA debuts with fake Goodreads accounts while giving her own book positive reviews (which is one of the reasons it caught the attention […]

Could be better, could be worse

In 27 Days by Alison Gervais

February 12, 2024 by Bibliophile Leave a Comment

I was scrolling through the library website, looking for an available book that sounded good, because all the books on my TBR that I wanted to read then weren’t available. I came across this book, read the description, thought it would either be interesting or not very well done, but decided to give it a try. In 27 Days is about a girl named Hadley, who goes to the same school as Archer, a boy she barely knows. One day, Archer commited suicide and Hadley […]

Please stop running and do something

The Marrow Thieves by Cherie Dimaline

February 12, 2024 by Bibliophile Leave a Comment

This book was recommended to me by a friend, who doesn’t usually share my taste in books, but I decided to read it anyway and was kind of disappointed. The Marrow Thieves is dystopian, so I expected it to be right up my alley, but when I read it I was surprised. It’s set at an undefined time in the future where everyone except the Native people have lost the ability to dream. Their ability to dream is stored in their bone marrow so the […]

Better the first time

Internment by Samira Ahmed

February 12, 2024 by Bibliophile Leave a Comment

After reading Hollow Fires (which I’m still working on the review for), I went to the library to find a new book to read. I looked for dystopian books and this one caught my eye. I loved Hollow Fires, and Internment is by the same author, so I checked it out, started reading, and couldn’t put it down. Internment by Samira Ahmed is a dystopian book where the US has created internment camps for Muslims. The main character, Layla, and her family get sent to […]

Super problems need super friends

Sort of Super V02 The Magma Cup by Eric Gapstur

February 9, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

They tell me that I am an adult. At least, physically. Mentally? Well that’s totally up for debate. And this is never more plain than when I read a book like Sort of Super V02 The Magma Cup by Eric Gapstur. I have read and reviewed volume one, and do recommend reading the first volume well, first as a lot of book two is a continuation from one, however, with a lot of new goodies as well. A quick summary of book one: Wyatt Flynn […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
