Some Thoughts On: The Raven King

The Raven King (The Raven Cycle #4) Maggie Stiefvater April 26th 2016 Scholastic ******Will probably contain spoilers for this book and the whole series just as a heads up****** I'm not going to try and write a normal review for The Raven King, because quite frankly I don't even know if I'm capable of doing proper reviews any more, and this is not the book or the series where I want to figure that out. That, and my love for this series transcends that of something which I can properly review, as I am completely biased and I *will* fight people about these books. On that note, this is also won't even entirely be about The Raven King on its own.

I wish I could blame college but I think I'm just having a bit of a blogging slump, so there isn't really much for me to round up but I'm going to do it anyway.

Favourite Books



These were really hard to choose because I have genuinely adored most of the books that I've read these past two months, but I think that This Song Will Save Your Life and Fangirl just edged it for me. Plus look at those beautiful covers.








So yeah, I wasn't really up to that much these past two months. It looks like I've read more than I have because I've been reading a lot of comics lately, and I probably shouldn't count them but I'm going to anyway. I might do a round up post of mini reviews for all the comics because I kind of want to talk about them a bit more. I think I'm also going to try and do a post about Sleepy Hollow because these days all I ever really want to talk about is Sleepy Hollow. But seeing as last month I literally only posted 3 reviews (that's not even a review a week), I wouldn't get my hopes up..

Sorry about being so slack lately, but I think I'm just in a bit of a blogging/reading slump and I will hopefully be back to normal soon! I might even start commenting on other peoples posts again, which I haven't done for ages... Whoops. 

So, yeah! That's sort of it, I guess. Here's hoping November is a bit better, eh?

Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children: The Graphic Novel review

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children: The Graphic Novel Ransom Riggs (story), Cassandra Jean (art) October 29th 2013 Headline Ransom Riggs's haunting fantasy bestseller adapted to a graphic novel!  As our story opens, a horrific family tragedy sets sixteen-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that the children were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a deserted island for good reason. And somehow-impossible though it seems-they may still be alive. I have yet to read the actual novel novel of Miss Peregrine, so I'm just going to give a heads up about that and this is my first experience with the story and all that, so I can't really judge the graphic novel on how it matches up with the book itself, but I will say that it...

Trouble review

Trouble Non Pratt March 6th 2014 Walker Books A boy. A girl. A bump. Trouble. Hannah’s smart and funny ... she’s also fifteen and pregnant. Aaron is new at school and doesn’t want to attract attention. So why does he offer to be the pretend dad to Hannah’s unborn baby?  Growing up can be trouble but that’s how you find out what really matters. Okay, first things first, is that or is that the best cover you've ever seen for a book about teen pregnancy. I know I keep going on about it, but seriously, I love it. It's the only cover for a book about teen pregnancy that has ever made me want to actually read the book because it is (usually) the one thing that comes up in contemp/realistic YA that I pretty much refuse to read about. A little bit because Personal Reasons and a little bit because I always just assume that they're either going to be all smooshy and romantic and blah (I can handle smooshy romance on its own, but smooshy romance + babies?! Nope) or that they're go...
