Life by Lu Yao Gao Jialin thought because he was educated that he was better than the people who worked in the fields. He thought that they were small minded and didn't know anything. When he meets the love of his life his perspective starts to change, until he's offered the life he always wanted. … Continue reading What goes up must come down

Tainted Love

October 24, 2020October 2, 2020Leave a comment

"A Court of Mist and Fury" by Sarah J. Maas In the first book I loved Feyre and Tamlin's relationship. Looking back on it I can't really say why. Reading this next installment I realized, right along with Feyre, how toxic that relationship was. When we're young we see and are taught that some things … Continue reading Tainted Love

The History of Vampires

October 10, 2020October 2, 2020Leave a comment

"A People's History of the Vampire Uprising" by Raymond Villareal This book was different from most vampire books I've read. Vampirism in this book was introduced as a virus. There were doctors, journalists, and law enforcement trying to find a way to cure/control it. Meanwhile the vampires were fighting to garner rights. They were claiming … Continue reading The History of Vampires

Magic is in everything

"The Paper Magician" by Charlie Holmberg The whole time I was reading I was imagining them doing some really fancy, magical origami (which I already find magical since I can't do it). I liked the idea of magic being like a trade. You learn it and can pick a different medium to practice with i.e. … Continue reading Magic is in everything

It's only when she's prepared to sacrifice everything that she gets her ultimate desires. The … Continue reading Laughter of the gods

Walk a mile in my shoes

September 19, 2020September 16, 2020Leave a comment

This book was filled with complex characters. Also, there was a lot of miscommunication wrapped up in misplaced responsibility. James felt responsible to be the bread winner and to give his kids the "American Dream." Marilyn felt responsible to be the perfect wife, mother, and to help Lydia achieve her goals. Nath felt that he … Continue reading Walk a mile in my shoes

My Black is Beautiful

September 5, 2020Leave a comment

I was nervous to read this at first because the Black community, my community, doesn’t always react the way you hope they will when it comes to Trans men and women. It gets purposely overlooked by some labeling it “white people problems.” I worried how the people would perceive this Black boy named Penelope in … Continue reading My Black is Beautiful

Amber’s life unraveled when her sister died and her dad’s company went under. She had one goal and one goal only. Get into the damn best movie scoring program at the best school. She became so … Continue reading TWO CAN KEEP A SECRET

Small Town, Big Hearts

August 8, 20201 Comment

Us Against You (2-2) Backman’s style is unique. I always like reading his writing because the narrator always takes an objective view of the story. For this type of story I think it’s perfect because it leaves the reader to draw their own opinions on the story without feeling the bias from the author. This … Continue reading Small Town, Big Hearts
