Mini YA Book Reviews
My book reviews are usually a bit longer than this, and I've never done more than one at once before. This means I don't go as into depth for any of the books, but I give you my most important thoughts for each. If you have any questions about the books here or want to … Continue reading Mini YA Book Reviews
Fall 2017 Book Haul
Look at this MASSIVE AMOUNT OF BOOKS that I bought, despite my bank account's complaining. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xovae0DIGsI
The Female of the Species
Triggers: Rape No spoilers. I picked this book up because of its cover. I bought it because of the blurb. I finished it in the span of twenty-four hours because it was fucking amazing. (Side note: If the word "fucking" in that last sentence offended you, skip the book.) The Female of the Species by … Continue reading The Female of the Species
All My Friends Are Superheroes
No Spoilers. In my last year of university, my dissertation tutor wanted me to read this book. While it sounded interesting enough, the only way I could get a copy was by buying it online and I was trying not to buy any books because my suitcase was heavy enough as it was. I think … Continue reading All My Friends Are Superheroes
Red Queen
No Spoilers. I've been following Victoria Aveyard on Twitter for a while now. While I've found her book blurb intriguing enough, I was never in any rush to read it. It sounded unoriginal to me. A world where some people have silver blood and superpowers, and the rest are just plain, red-blooded humans who are seen … Continue reading Red Queen
A Fierce and Subtle Poison
Mild Spoilers at the end. I'll let you know. A Fierce and Subtle Poison, I am happy to say, is as good a book as it's cover. I took a chance on this one, having never heard of it before. The cover told me the bare minimum about the book, but the first sentence of … Continue reading A Fierce and Subtle Poison
Three Dark Crowns
Spoiler-free. Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake came out three weeks ago, so if you've never heard of it, just give it time. I'd never heard of it before picking it up in the bookstore to study its cover. It's black matte, and the art is incredible, easy to study for a while without getting … Continue reading Three Dark Crowns
October Reads
I've got two beautiful books to live on for the month of October. I hadn't heard of either before spotting them in the bookstore, so I'm going in without any preconceived notions about them. A Fierce and Subtle Poison by Samantha Mabry: "How would you describe your condition?" I asked. Isabel didn't respond. Instead, her eyes … Continue reading October Reads
Inspiration: Book Covers
Unsatisfied with my design education (though keep in mind I've only been in school for 10 weeks out of 52), I spent my weekend watching videos, reading books, and researching graphic design, in particular, typography and book covers. https://www.instagram.com/p/BKgmoXMgJrO/?taken-by=byivy In class we're working on html and we all created our own websites (yes, another) and one … Continue reading Inspiration: Book Covers
