BOOK REVIEW: AURORA BURNING
I mean...where do I even start with this review? How do I even start? My first five-star read of 2020 and it crushed me. This book was a destructive force that made me do this after finishing it: Because I was lying in bed and that cliffhanger was so, SO huge that it was unbearable.… Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: AURORA BURNING
BOOK REVIEW: DANGEROUS REMEDY
Every time I see a fantasy hailed as the next Six of Crows, I step cautiously.

The amount of books that I've read… Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: DANGEROUS REMEDY
BOOK REVIEW: AND THE STARS WERE BURNING BRIGHTLY
Right from the get go, I know that this was going to be a tear-jerker of a read.

BOOK REVIEW – THE BLACK FLAMINGO
I never used to enjoy reading poetry. It would remind me of the days in school where we would endlessly have to annotate and break down somewhat miserable poems. In fact, the only poem I can remember resonating with in school was one called 'Half-Caste' by John Agard, a poem that tells the reader that… Continue reading BOOK REVIEW – THE BLACK FLAMINGO
