The Darkest Minds was a series I had never even heard of until the day I was bored and decided to watch that god awful movie adaptation where Amandla Stenberg is put into clothes four times smaller than her size. That day still bring me shivers at night. Although I thought the idea of the movie was really interesting and I felt like they had just played it wrong on screen. I did some research and found a trilogy? I had no idea at all these books existed and I was […]
I first heard of Wilder Girls on Goodreads before it was published or has a cover drop. Usually I only follow new books by the authors I like. For example, I know Chain of Iron is coming out March 2021 and so is Realm Breaker. Although I figured that because of all the hype this book was getting so early on I should think I’d like it too.

I tend to get very caught up in the happenings of my phone. I already keep a couple social media apps off my phone because I know that should I get bored I will spend hours on there doing nothing at all.

This is still something I’ve got to figure out but for now I will enjoy my discounted hardcover of Where […]
A couple weeks ago I was browsing free ebooks on my phone and landed on Frankenstein. Although I’ve obviously heard of Frankenstein I have never read it nor did I think I would want to read it, since the premise of the novel did not seem to my great interest. But I can affirm that I was surprisingly mistaken and I am happy I gave this one a chance. Some Details Author: Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley Original title: Frankenstein or, The Modern Prometheus Published: January 1, 1818 (this edition: March […]
Four years ago I walked into my local chapters waiting to get picked up after a day of shopping excursions with some friends. As I roamed the stacks of books aimlessly – since I wasn’t that big of a bookie and usually relied on the box sets my parents chose for me as Christmas presents – I was very ill informed on the big books of the literary world. But there, in this amazing section of the store; Young Adult Fiction, I almost knocked over this big cardboard box filled […]
