My Thoughts I am not sure I have ever encountered the level annoyance I experienced while reading Caraval. Scarlett drove me crazy with her naivety. And the constant arguing for no apparent reason and against all common sense. Who tries to row a sinking boat?!? Scarlett does. If I were Julian, I would have left […]
My Thoughts This might be my shortest review ever. READ.THIS.BOOK. <error> LISTEN.TO <error> <error> THIS.BOOK. <error> A Blockbuster Film in Book Form Seriously. Illuminae is in a league of its own.

My Thoughts I devoured the Grisha Trilogy while on a cruise last year. The world building was amazing but the main characters fell flat for me which is why I put off reading Six of Crows. That was absolutely a mistake. Six of Crows was everything I didn’t know I needed to start 2018. You […]
