This book was given to me by NetGalley as an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. I love historical fiction and I love reading about places and historical figures that I don’t know much about. This novel gave me that opportunity. I don’t want to give it more of an introduction than that so let me just start…
Fantasy
All The Birds in the Sky by Charlie Jane Anders
I’m back to one of my personal favorite genres of all time – fantasy – and let me just say that ever since I read the premise of this novel, I have been anxious to get my hands on a copy of this book. When I finally got it, I literally dove right in and did not stop for anyone…
City of Stairs by Robert Jackson Bennett (Divine Cities Book #1)
Originally, I was given the sequel of this book to read as an advanced copy, without having known at all that it was part of a series. It became quite clear to me after the first few pages that I was missing something. A quick search on Google showed me that I had completely missed the first novel so I…
Eleanor by Jason Gurley
I usually have a reason behind why I pick a novel. It’s usually because it is being read by many people or because it has an interesting description or is in my favorite genre. This novel, however, I chose quite randomly. It was almost as if it was telling me to read it. Anyways, I decided to place a Hold…
The Gracekeepers by Kirsty Logan
“Never judge a book by its cover” – its a saying that I have long upheld. Regardless of the outer surface, I will read a book based on how interesting the content is. With this novel, however, I found myself gravitating towards it because of its beautiful, ethereal cover. It was just lying on a shelf at my local library…
City of the Lost by Kelley Armstrong
Let me start by saying this isn’t the first novel I’ve read by this author. Back in high school, I would read her Otherworld series and all of her other books as soon as I could get my hands on them. She is witty and has strong female characters, which is always a winner for me. I was definitely looking…
Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman
I AM BACK WITH MY OBSESSION FOR NEIL GAIMAN! I had to wait 4 months to get my hands on a copy of this novel; clearly I am a dedicated fan! Anyways, I don’t want to waste any more time so here is my review: Richard Mayhew is a young London businessman with a boring and ordinary life. He has…
Blue Bloods by Melissa de la Cruz – Book One
My first experience reading a novel about vampires was Twilight. At first, I got swept up in its popularity but I soon found myself hating it. After that, I didn’t think I could ever get into that theme again. But then this novel came along. I didn’t really expect too much from it if I’m to be honest. But when…
Miss Peregrine’s School for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs – Peculiar Children Book #1
I read this book in 2011, when it first came out. I still remember the day I came across it – my friends and I were roaming around in Indigo and I happened to find it on one of the shelves. Each of us took a copy of the book and just sat down on the carpeted floor to read…
