This is a milestone for me. I read Joseph Roth’s famous novel The Emperor’s Tomb in one day: it’s my mother’s favorite, it’s a classic and it’s history. Here are my thoughts!

A Question of Holmes – Review
I was really anxious to read the finale book of the Charlotte Holmes series, but I shouldn’t have been worried. Here are my thoughts on Brittany Cavallaro’s A Question of Holmes!
Continue readingFangirl – Review
I never would have thought that I’d enjoy a contemporary, coming of age novel that was super hyped up – but I did. And I’m super happy abut that. Here are my thoughts!
Continue ReadingBlack Rabbit Summer – Review
This book was one of the most odd yet fantastic books I’ve ever read. I’m certainly not the expert when it comes to contemporary let alone mysteries and crime, but this book did certainly leave a big impression. Here are my thoughts!
Continue ReadingThe Poet X – Review
This book started as a regual side read on the weekends, just some book to read in one day to get your mind off of things. But The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo ended up being so much more than that. Continue reading “The Poet X – Review”

Just now, let me explain why I love the Penderwicks. Continue reading “The Penderwicks – Review”
The Hate U Give – Review
I don’t know how to start. This book sadly is reality, but it is also so much more: an encouragement for oppressed people to stand up, to demonstrate they have a chance, for people to realize this world hasn’t found a resolution for racism and for young people to cherish life and opportunities.

If someone would ask me what has most influenced my early years (but I doubt anyone ever will), I’d say this family. I have been reading Jeanne Birdsall’s Penderwicks since I was five years old and they have had a major impact on my life. This is the reason why I was so enormously thrilled to finally see the fifth book in store!
