Book Review: Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf
I was introduced to Virginia Woolf’s works all the way back in High School. Admittedly, we didn’t spend a lot of time studying her work (we focused on Sylvia Plath instead), but Woolf was brought up a lot. It’s no secret that I’ve been trying to get through my incredibly long TBR list (and this…

Book Review: Witness by Louise Milligan
I picked up this novel around the time I was about to graduate from law back in 2023. My favourite indie online bookstore had it on sale and the title caught my attention. So, after reading the blurb, I was sold. I’ve read a lot of non-fiction but I don’t think I review as many…

Let’s Talk About Marissa Meyer’s The Lunar Chronicles
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Okay, so. I binge-read this series and. Well. There are a lot of things I want to talk about because THIS SERIES MADE ME EMOTIONAL (in a good way!). Now the Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer is a relatively older series (I think the first book in the series was published…

Let’s Talk About Holly Black and her ‘The Folk of the Air’ Trilogy
“If I cannot be better than them, I will become so much worse” The Cruel Prince (The Folk of the Air #1) Now, I don’t know about you, but these books frustrate me so much! Both in a good way and in a bad way that is. We’ll get into why that’s so a little…
