A Game of Thrones cover
Rating: 4.3/5

A Game of Thrones Review

George RR Martin throws you into a wild world where nobody is safe, not even your favorite hero. The food descriptions made me hungry, but all the names made me dizzy. Still, I couldn’t stop reading!

My Sister's Keeper cover
Rating: 4/5

My Sister’s Keeper Review

My Sister’s Keeper messed with my feelings like a cat on a keyboard. Family fights, tough choices, and a box of tissues—this book has it all. Just don’t read it near anyone or you’ll ugly cry in public.

Every Last Word Cover
Rating: 4/5

Every Last Word Review

Every Last Word surprised me. It’s honest about OCD without being sad all the time. The friendships felt real, but some chatter was cheesy enough to make me cringe. Still, I kept turning pages—mostly because I cared what happened next.

Good Night, Sister Cover
Rating: 4.5/5

Good Night, Sister Review

Good Night Sister wraps you in a warm hug, like a big cozy blanket. The lovely art and sweet story make bedtime special, even if my own sister still steals the covers!

Madame Bovary: (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) Cover
Rating: 4.3/5

Madame Bovary Review

Emma Bovary wants romance but gets small-town drama and bad choices. Flaubert writes her so real, I kept yelling at the pages, but couldn’t stop reading—kind of like watching someone eat soap and wondering what happens next.

Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief cover
Rating: 4.3/5

The Lightning Thief Review

Percy Jackson turns Greek myths into a wild road trip. The jokes actually land, monsters pop up everywhere, and Percy’s crew feels like friends. Some jokes miss, but trust me, you’ll wish you had a magic pen too.

Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief cover
Rating: 4.8/5

The Lightning Thief Review

Percy Jackson made me laugh more than Grandma after two cups of coffee. It's wild, witty, and packed with monsters. Sure, the plot gets silly sometimes, but you can't beat the fun and those lovable misfit heroes.

Life of Pi: A Novel Cover
Rating: 4/5

Life of Pi Review

Life of Pi serves a wild story: boy, lifeboat, tiger, and a whole lot of hungry days. It had me questioning reality, faith, and why I ever thought cats were simple pets.

Life of Pi: A Novel Cover
Rating: 4/5

Life of Pi Review

If you ever wondered whether you could outwit a tiger with nothing but canned water and hope, Life of Pi will have you rethinking every trip to the zoo, or at least your next boat ride!

If He Had Been with Me Cover
Rating: 4.3/5

If He Had Been with Me Review

If He Had Been With Me hits you right in the feels. Autumn and Finny are easy to root for, even when you want to shake some sense into them. Keep tissues close and maybe some chocolate too.
