This is the first Adam Silvera book that I have ever read. I bought it as soon as it came out but I didn’t end up reading it until months and months later because of the hype that was surrounding the book; it just put me off reading it. But now I’ve finally read it, and I can finally share with you all what I thought of History is All You Left Me.
WARNING: MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD …
Why haven’t I read this book sooner?! I should have read it as soon as I had it. How did the beautiful cover NOT pull me in even quicker? I’ll tell you why… Because I’m stupid. This book is full of adventure, mystery, books and just awesomeness. …
This series just keeps getting better and better! With every volume, we are thrown deeper into the lives of Marko and Alana and are given more blood and gore, more background on all of the characters and more gorgeous artwork. …
Wow. Just wow. This book is amazing, educational, heart-warming and heart-breaking all at the same time. If I Was Your Girl is an own voices novel that will stay with me forever… …
I think this may be the first obvious re-telling novel that I’ve actually reviewed on my webiste. I know that I read and reviewed Flame in the Mist by Renée Ahdieh, but that didn’t read like a re-telling at all, whereas Spindle Fire did. The connections between this novel and the original fairy tale were obvious. However, there were still big twists and turns in this novel that I really liked. …
Ok, I’ll admit, at first I genuinely thought that this was a book that centred around two Indian lesbians meeting each other and falling in love. I was all about that life and it was one of the reasons why I was so excited to read it. Wow, how wrong was I?! If anything, this highlighted my ignorance towards Indian culture as I didn’t realise that Rishi was actually a male name. However, even though I had found out that this was a heterosexual relationship book, I was still intrigued because of the diversity and because the female protagonist is a computer coder! …
When I read the blurb of this book, it didn’t really seem that interesting or captivating, but I went into it anyway knowing that I could surprise me, and it really did. Paintbrush is Hannah Bucchin’s debut novel and she broke into the world of YA with a bang. This is a truly remarkable debut that will stay in my heart forever. …
After reading Susin Nielsen’s We are all Made of Molecules a year ago (and not particularly loving it – or hating it), I decided to give Nielsen’s next book a go: Optimists Die First. After reading the first few chapters, I was very intrigued and I thought that this would be an amazing book. Alas, there were a few things that let this book down. …
After reading Paper Butterflies by Lisa Heathfield and absolutely LOVING IT, I was so excited to read more by her, and when I was offered Flight of a Starling from the publisher, I couldn’t wait to get into it. I am literally writing this review 1 hour before it’s meant to be going live because this book… well… it put me in a massive reading slump and it took ages for me to get through it. …
The premise of this book sounded so interesting. I read the blurb and it captured my attention straight away. I also loved the idea of the happiness index cards and I’ve even started doing them myself so I can start concentrating on the positives of days instead of the negatives! …
