4.5 stars Elena is a huge Star Wars fan, but was too young to camp out in a queue when the prequels were released. She nontheless lives and breathes for the sci fi films and has heard all about her father’s experiences with camping out in his day, so when the new Star Wars movie, The Force Awakens, is about to open, she decides that now she’ll finally have the chance to experience the same sense of geekery, fandom and community that she’s heard and […]

This book should have been about the youngest Song sister

February 13, 2016 by Malin Leave a Comment

Lara Jean Song is the middle of the three Song sisters and the quieter and most retiring of them. She tends to internalise her feelings rather than voicing them. Because of this, she has a hat box where she puts letters she’s written to all the boys she’s ever had a crush on. She pours out her thoughts and feelings and then hides the letters away. One of the boys she once had a crush on is Peter Kavinsky, one of the coolest guys in […]

So what happens after your life is publicly ruined?

January 30, 2016 by Malin 2 Comments

Lydia Bennet became somewhat of an internet celebrity when her older sister Lizzie‘s vlogs, made as part of her graduate project, went viral in a major way. Always happy to be the centre of attention, Lydia made her own videos and loved the attention she got on YouTube, Twitter, Tumblr and other social media sites. Unfortunately, when she fell in love with and trusted a man who took terrible advantage of her, she also had to face her private life being open for all to […]

Britain’s Next Top Model

January 17, 2016 by Malin 2 Comments

As of writing this review, the book is still on sale on Amazon for $1.99. So anyone interested, can check it out without spending a huge amount of money. Harriet Manners is a geek. If she wasn’t already painfully aware of the fact, and her less than stellar social status among her fellow teens, someone helpfully wrote the word in big red letters on her satchel. She does have a very good friend, and the ardent admiration of Toby, the only kid in school geekier […]

Watermelon Summer cover

A Sweet Surprise

December 29, 2015 by Loopyker Leave a Comment

I entered the generous Spring Fling 2015 book giveaway with no knowledge of any of the authors except, Selina Fenech from my previous review. I was given many free ebooks from that and intend to read and write honest reviews on them all as a thank-you. It is just taking more time than I had hoped. Having no idea what to expect, I was very pleasantly surprised by Watermelon Summer. It is just a nice, sweet book. An easy, fun read. 18 year old Forsythia, […]

December 9, 2015 by Malin 3 Comments

After a murder investigation that completely destroyed her relationship with her detective partner and best friend, Dublin murder detective Cassie Maddox moved to the Domestic Violence unit and took up target shooting to deal with her feelings of anxiety.
