Lost in the Never Woods by Aiden Thomas Book Review

    Lost in the Never Woods by Aiden Thomas Book Review  Lost in the Neverwoods by Aiden Thomas. This is the second book by Aiden Thomas that I think is out ever. They previously wrote "Cemetery Boys," which came out last year, and I absolutely love that book. So I was so, so looking forward to seeing the next book that they wrote, even though it is a Peter Pan retelling. I feel like Peter Pan retellings—I haven't read a bunch of them, but I just know there are so many that sometimes it's hard. There are definitely good ones and there are definitely ways to make it feel different, but I was just kind of worried that, like, "Oh no, this is just going to be another Peter Pan retelling that falls flat." But happy to report that it was really, really good. I originally thought it was a middle-grade book for some reason. I think just because it came out so quickly after Cemetery Boys. I feel like usually there's like a year gap between books coming out by an

The Love That Split the World by Emily Henry Book Review

    The Love That Split the World by Emily Henry Book Review  The Love That Split The World by Emily Henry  is such a difficult book to summarize, but my summary of it is that our main character Natalie is from a very small Kentucky hometown. Very Southern, and very into football.  She just graduated from high school and all throughout high school she dated the popular football "It guy" on and off and they've kind of had a rocky relationship. She used to be on the dance team and she's quit.  She's just kind of decided she is over high school and she is ready to move out and go off to college and learn about herself and she is done with this town and with these friends. So there is this big theme of growing up and moving on, especially in relation to friendships and relationships. And Natalie, her whole life, has had these visitations by an old woman who appears in her bedroom at night. All the adults think that Natalie is hallucinating or has some kind of stress d

She Drives Me Crazy by Kelly Quindlen Book Review

    She Drives Me Crazy by Kelly Quindlen Book Review  She Drives Me Crazy by Kelly Quindolin, I believe is how you pronounce it. I may say it wrong, and if I did, I am very sorry. Now, this is an LGBTQ+ romance for young adults. It's got 304 pages, published last year on October 13th, and the cover itself is actually quite cute. A bit of diversity is always down for some diversity, and this was 7.99 in Waterstones. So, we're just gonna dive right into it. So, the story revolves around a young athlete named Scotty. Now, Scotty is this one here, and it's all about how she comes to terms with her breakup from a toxic relationship. Well, she didn't know it was toxic until afterwards, but with a young woman named Tally, who was also a basketball player like her.  So, this is all about the journey for Scotty and how she gets over everything. The way that she decides to do this and also get a little bit of revenge is to fake date her own nemesis Irene, who is a cheerleader. S

Never Never by Colleen Hoover Book Review

    Never Never by Colleen Hoover Book Review  Never Never by Colleen Hoover and Terry Fisher. "Nevernever" is a very, very short book; it's way under 40 pages. It's part 1 of part 2; its sequel comes out in May, I believe, so we don't have to wait too long for it. But the book left off in such a cliffhanger that you want to read the next book right now.  I'm sure you've all heard of Colleen Hoover; she's an amazing new adult author. I've read a couple of her books before, but I have to say this one so far is my favourite.  Allen Huff's because she wrote Aaron Fisher—or I don't know; I've never credited Aaron Fisher before, but I know she's also widely popular in the adult genre. I think, not too sure, please don't quote me on that.  The premise of "Nevernever" involves Charlie and Silas. One day, they just have no memories of anything, no recollection of each other, and they go around their lives not remembering anyth

Win Your Inner Battles by Darius Foroux Book Review

  Win Your Inner Battles by Darius Foroux Book Review All of us desire transformation and achievement in our lives, aspiring to avoid certain habits, make necessary changes, and emulate inspiring personalities. Despite these wishes, readiness for change may not always be present.  To achieve our goals, immediate action and dedicated effort are essential. However, the journey is often fraught with internal confusion and unnecessary diversions, creating obstacles to clarity and progress. The author, Darius Foroux, argues that the biggest impediment to fulfilling our goals is our own brain, engaged in an eternal battle of conflicting thoughts on whether to take action or remain idle. Addressing the perpetual dilemma of doing or not doing, and questioning the rewards of our efforts, the book, "Win Your Inner Battles," proposes a strategy to work in alignment with our brains to achieve goals and fulfill wishes. Darius Foroux explores the common fears and doubts that hinder our pur

Today, I want to talk to you about "Confess" by Colleen Hoover. "Confess" was the book that was voted in my poll for my backlist read for September, and I put it on there because, you know, you guys, if you want me to read a Coho, I will do it for you. It was the last one that I had of hers on my shelf that was unread. I was like, it's waiting, and you picked it. Of course, you picked it. Why am I not surprised that you guys picked this? So, I read it. It did not take me very long to read. That's one of my favourite things about Coho's books—they're 300 pages, they're quick, they're bingeable, right? And the same was true for "Co
