Sticking It to Cancer One Book at a Time


A very cute and funny romance, once you get past the premise. #CBRBINGO – Time

Love in the Time of Serial Killers by Alicia Thompson

Thanks to NetGalley and Berkley for the ARC. It hasn't affected the contents of my review. I was a bit iffy on this one to start, because the premise and how it was being executed seemed really thin. But you should know before you read this, it's not really a book about a woman who thinks her … [Read more]

Oh Olive…

The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood

by Leave a Comment

I picked this up because it kept coming up in CBR14 reviews. After researching it a little bit, it seems that it is hugely popular. I was intrigued to find out what made it more than the average romcom-type romance. Plus I was very curious to find out whatever it has to do with ReyLo. Olive, a … [Read more]

“She wore a dress Ronan thought looked like a lampshade. Whatever sort of lamp it belonged on, Gansey clearly wished he had one. Ronan wasn’t a fan of lamps.” #CBRBINGO – Holiday

The Dream Thieves (The Raven Cycle, #2) by Maggie Stiefvater

by 2 Comments

I've been holding off on reviewing this one for a couple of days because I wasn't sure if I was going to round my 4.5 stars up to five or not. Turns out I'm not—for now. This series and its premise make me nervous. I know that most YA goes in for happy endings, but there's always the occasional … [Read more]

“The earth has turned. The time is here. I am dying. Come and collect your inheritance.”

The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina by Zoraida Córdova

I tell you what, I've really been putting off writing this review. I just don't want to try and put words to the subconscious magic this book can work upon a reader. And also the literal magic that is in the book. (An old woman turns into a tree! Flowers grow out of people's bodies!) I'm really … [Read more]

I feel like I should have loved this book.

The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune

by 2 Comments

Well, this is an awkward review to write. I know that this book is widely beloved, but I just…didn’t love it. It was FINE! I wasn’t mad at it! But something about it failed to sufficiently warm the cockles of my cold, dead heart. This is my second T.J. Klune, and I didn’t love Under the … [Read more]

And Paola Baron explores that idea in Paul is Dead, a speculation fiction graphic novel that causes questions of fame, reality, and self to have more questions than … [Read more]
