Sticking It to Cancer One Book at a Time

This series goes from wasted potential to actively irritating in this book.

Ughhhh, I will tell you right now that I am in a foul mood right now, but did the book do that to me? Or is the book suffering because of it instead? Probably both. I don’t honestly care. Soooo cranky. And this book is such a waste, in my opinion. Waste of a good premise. I’m at the point now where the only thing I care about in this series is the lore and the flashbacks to the other queens. The only character I […]

Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins

When I heard that Suzanne Collins was writing a prequel to the Hunger Games, I was excited. What would we get to see? Haymitch’s times in the arena? A view into another district? The times before the war? There were so many exciting possibilities to choose from. When I found out it would be about a young President Snow, I was disappointed. We don’t really need to know more about him because we know he is the worst, and we don’t really need to hear […]

There’s Someone Inside Your House

There's Someone Inside Your House by Stephanie Perkins

I continued my October Spoopy Reads with There’s Someone Inside Your House. What I will say about these horror books is that I really wish there were more of a supernatural element to them, because it’s just normal people murdering and it’s kind of a bummer. Serial killers really ruin my vibe. It seems so innocent, an object in a place you didn’t expect, an open door that you swore was closed, some mysterious footprints…but it could mean a killer is in the house. In […]
