Another YA Rant: Featuring Divergent

Another YA Rant: Featuring Divergent

Greetings Earthlings. ***This post is basically a time capsule. I originally wrote this post literally five years ago. Let that sink in for a second. I pulled it out to edit it circa 2020 in the midst of quarantine and it's been chilling in the drafts since then. Enjoy šŸ˜‰ Due to a series of [...]

The Last of the Mohicans Classic Review

The Last of the Mohicans Classic Review

Ah, the conundrum of the classic novel. How is one to review a book that was written in a time they have no association with that carries deeply complex themes if they donā€™t have an English degree from Oxford? The answer is surprisingly simple; I donā€™t need a college degree to express my opinion, and [...]

Star Wars: Aftermath Review

Star Wars: Aftermath Review

Hello Chums! Recently, Iā€™ve been attempting to read my way through the Star Wars canon universe. The key word here is ā€œattemptingā€ because there are 756 billion EU novels out there, and reading most of these books has been a serious chore. As of now Iā€™ve read The Phantom Menace novelization by Terry Brooks, Bloodline [...]

A Court of Feels and Fangirls: (Court of Thorns and Roses Trilogy book review)

Hello my devoted fans! Sorry it took so long to get another solo review up. I suffer from typical teenager problems such as procrastination, too little sleep, and too much TV. Anyways I promise this review is completely spoiler free, so read on without fear. If you want a more detailed summary, Goodreads is a [...]

Hermione is (sorta) dead, Clara is back, and BTS is here to stay

Haaalloooo. Yes I am alive! If you were wondering, this is Clara Oswin Oswald, blogger extraordinaire. šŸ˜‰ I know itā€™s been a really long time since we last posted, so we're sorry. Things have just been a little hectic for me lately, and Hermione is at college now, so I am all alone. Ā  So, [...]

Review: Crazy Rich Asains // An Exotic Soap Opera with Hawt Men

I finally feel en vogue in the reading world, as I am reading Crazy Rich Asians just before the film comes out in August (yes, I do want to watch it). I also want to finish the Crazy Rich Asain trilogy, but I might have to put that on hold since I'm about 300 pages [...]

OTP Mixtape: Heathcliff x Cathy

OTP Mixtape: Heathcliff x Cathy

As Yoda once said: "Ship or Do Not Ship. There is No Try." Because let's face it, when you ship something, you SHIP SOMETHING. Some ships can getĀ borderlineĀ obsessive, but it's all perfectly healthy (right? RIGHT??). After all, we're TEENAGERS (or teenagers at heart, anyway). We're supposed to be obsessive and fangirl-ish and so invested in [...]

To All the (YA) Books I’ve Loved Before {ft. a rant and two small reviews}

To All the (YA) Books I’ve Loved Before {ft. a rant and two small reviews}

I donā€™t read a lot of YAā€”I never have, really, simply because it doesnā€™t interest me. My recent foray into the genre has only served to redouble my aversion to ā€œfluffyā€ romances and ā€œmeet-cutes.ā€ (Because these things are never cute. Theyā€™re just annoying.) My YA expertise is pretty much limited to the eleven YA books [...]
