I read David Levithan’s Every Day on a family vacation in 2014; Every Day is told from the body jumping teen A’s perspective and the sequel (ish), Another Day, shows the same events through Rhiannon’s eyes. “One last song. One last turn. One last street. no matter how hard you try to keep hold of a day, it’s going to leave you” Rhiannon goes to school one day and her typically distant boyfriend, Justin, is much warmer, happier and he uncharacteristically takes her on a […]

No Sparkly Vampires or Helpless Females here.
I wasn’t going to read this book. I have already declared a moratorium on post-apocalyptic trilogies starring plucky youngsters sprinkled in fairy dust that are the saviors of the entire world. Especially since this is one of those series that is self-published on Amazon and included in the free Kindle library. But the other day I was looking for something fast paced and interesting and this one was free so I gave it a shot. It’s fairly obvious that the heroine, Penryn is modeled after […]

A task too large for even a super man.
I wouldn’t call myself a fan of comic books. I collected them when I was young, but it was mainly for their art. There are some stories that I still treasure the memory of, and there are even some I’ve thought of revisiting for the Cannonball, but I haven’t really felt the need to do so. These days, most of my superhero interactions come from whatever the latest release from the MCU is. But, the other day a friend of mine posted a hypothetical choice […]
A safe space for spoilers
Just throwing this out there right off the bat… this review is gonna have spoilers in it. They will be unavoidable, and the entire review is going to assume that you have also read this book, because I need a safe space to discuss the ending and what that means retroactively about the series and for my feelings in general. If you’re looking for a general sense of how much I recommend this book, I point you toward my four star rating and encourage you […]
