Diving In

Daughter of the Deep by Rick Riordan

February 3, 2022 by Amalthea 2 Comments

This is my first review and I am excited that it is for a Rick Riordan book (because it’s the book I happened to be reading this week). I first read a Percy Jackson book because my 9-year-old son wanted me to read it, so we could talk about it together. After reading the first chapter, I found myself compelled to read the next and the next, needing to know what happens to Percy. And then I read through the rest of the series, then […]

Whispering Hands

The Raging Quiet by Sherryl Jordan

February 1, 2021 by Singsonggirl 4 Comments

I’m currently back living at my mother’s place, (Covid, landlord troubles, suffocating monotony of the big city, it’s a long and sad story) but the good thing about it is, that it gives me ample opportunity to revisit my favourite childhood books! That’s how I picked up The Raging Quiet again, a story about a teenager, who marries a much older and wealthier man, only to be widowed after a few days and now stranded in a village that’s behaving more than hostile towards her. […]

Cover of the Folio Society Edition of Howls Moving Castle

In which I review Howl’s Moving Castle

Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones

February 12, 2020 by kittenkong42 6 Comments

Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones is one of those books I read as a grown-up and wished I had discovered as a child. It stuck with me enough that when I saw that the Folio Society had produced a copy I needed to get it, and whilst I missed the first print (nobody took the Christmas present hinting I did…) I managed to get it on the reprint and so had a re-read of it this year. A lot of people will come […]

Sci-Fi + LGBTQ = TAKE MY MONEY NOW

I Hope You Get This Message by Farah Naz Rishi

January 23, 2020 by LupusGirlReads 2 Comments

The premise of our story is that Earth receives a message that an alien planet is judging the fate of humanity, with the possible (most likely) outcome resulting in the extermination of humanity. While the masses lose their damn minds, 3 young adults all try and deliver messages or visit people important to them while they still have time.  On the surface, it’s a basic OHMYGODALIENSWEGONNADIE story. However, the author delivers some great depth and exploration of character and captures the nuances of teens/young adults […]

What If It's Us by Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera

August 21, 2019 by Manimama Leave a Comment

CBR11 Bingo Rainbow Flag square. This is a collaborative book written by two authors who have had individual success in the Young Adult market. Arthur and Ben meet cute at a post office when Arthur follows a cute guy who is trying to mail a package to his ex-boyfriend. They don’t exchange information before they are separated by a flash mob and then spend a third of the story thinking about how to find the other, and if it is even worth the attempt. Arthur […]

More of the Same Teenage Drama in Sequel to To All the Boys I Loved Before

P.S. I Still Love You by Jenny Han

February 1, 2019 by bronte1848 Leave a Comment

I am typically not the romance book type, unless it is a classic or mixed with fantasy or science fiction, but I decided to keep reading the To All the Boys I Loved Before series. I read the first one after the movie got good reviews because as a middle school teacher I like to have a variety of books I can recommend to my students. However, because I teach students who struggle in reading I rarely have students who choose to read outside of […]
